#xena scrolls

Mel Pappas and Janice Covington!

They are offical!! And part of the “present day” world in the show, where the show is also just a show based off the scrolls. My guess is they stated writing these during/after season one, and continued to update it throughout season two? The Xena Restoration Scotiety are a bunch academic nerds and these emails seem to take place in 1993 to 1997, a couple years before the “show” started

Its super fun, it introduces a bunch of characters, two of them named Melinda Pappas and Janice Covington (who may or may not be who you think they are, i low key don’t want to spoil it) 😏 all of them speculating, who is the author of the scrolls, are they real historical figures or just mythology, what are their weapons, discovering new scrolls and stories, and how they should translate certain things.

All leading up to the XRS being approached by Mr. Tapert wanting to know more about this character so he can potentially make a show, to having one of the characters making an appearance at the first Xena con WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE IMPLYED TO BE STEVEN SEARS AND I THINK ITS SUCH A FUN AND BRILLIANT THING.

I dont think it was ever finished which suuuuucks cause it kind of ends on a cliffhanger, BUT ITS SO, SO MUCH FUN.
