Reactions and Reviews

This is is favorite story in the zine. It's very realistic and believable. It's quite nicely worded and psychologically sound. Some parts I especially liked were Kirk's internal comment. "I want to protect him even against myself," he realized with surprise.' and "The timid look of fascination in Spock's eyes became one of appraisal, and Kirk caught the change." I especially liked it when Kirk made his move and then retreated. My only complaint is the ending. I turned the page and gasped to find the story was over. I wanted it to continue. Maybe the writer will in a future M/A???? Please.

The Marilyn Cole picture on page 80 of Spock and Kirk at the baths is impressive. It's my favorite of the zine. It's sexy, yet not. Spock is especially well drawn in this. The picture fits the story very well.
