[edit] Fan fiction policy and history
Lucy Lawless was asked about fan fiction in an Advocate article dated [[March 2], [[]1999]] by Michele Kort titled "Xena Cyberprincess", and she says:
Not for a long time. I read a really great one about Cindy Crawford meeting Xena, and Xena thinks she has a big piece of chocolate on her face and pulls out a weapon and clips off Cindy Crawford's mole. Which is a very nice mole--we'd all hate to see it go. But there's just bizarre fan fiction. How does it feel, being a straight woman, to be the lesbian icon these days? Really? That's cool. I think it's great to be part of something that becomes iconic. How amazing! What an awesome experience in life! That doesn't happen to many people. It's never made me uncomfortable. I know a lot of lesbian and gay people, and they're as fine as any people I've ever met. Maybe better human beings! Why would I be embarrassed to be playing a role that they identify with so strongly? But how does it feel to be somebody's fantasy? I never thought about it like that [laughs]. I guess I just separate myself from Xena, and Xena can be somebody's fantasy. I mean, she's my fantasy too, in the sense that she doesn't exist and is just part of this fantastical world that I join every day when I put on makeup. I don't relate to her unless the camera's rolling. So you think people aren't fantasizing about you but about Xena. Right. Because how could they? They don't know me. Well, maybe they do. This happens with [film] editors all the time--it's a professional hazard. They feel they know you intimately, though they've never met you, because they have seen all the rough cuts, all your goof-ups, your good days and bad days. So when you meet them, it's a very strange experience because you get that feeling of contemptible familiarity. It's like, "You're getting too close to me--go away. I don't know who you are." It's difficult for them--they really have to pull back because they can make you go cold. Do you think the Web sites help defuse fantasies, because you're sharing them with someone else instead of sitting alone with them? On the contrary, it might make them more real. But I know public figures certainly have to worry about weird fans, and I don't know if the Internet makes for more of that or less of that. I don't log on enough to know anymore. With random you've got to take the good with the bad--and it's 95% good, 4% questionable, and 1% just out-and-out bad.
