Uberfic (short for Uber fanfic, UberXena, or simply Uber or Über) is a kind of alternative universe fan fiction in which characters or events are portrayed somewhat closely to original canon but usually in a different time period, many times featuring the ancestors, descendants or reincarnations of canon characters. The term originated in Xena: Warrior Princess fandom. This sort of story was used by the series itself, beginning with the second season episode "The Xena Scrolls".[1]
Some consider the first uberfic in the XWP fandom to be the X-files crossover Warrior's Heart by Darkone that first appeared in February 1997.
A popular example of the genre are the characters Dar and Kerry that were first seen in Tropical Storm.[citation needed]
