Reactions and Reviews

1983

A LITTLE ROMANCE is easily my favorite. This Alternate Mirror story is fascinating, finely-crafted and a gem, without the usual brutality. The plot and characterizations are well-developed--unusually so for a K/S story. The adventure, plot stands on its own, without the, sex--which is confined to the close of the story. [1]

1984

A Little Romance by Smythe: In this alternate universe, Kirk commandeers a youthful, half-Vulcan named Spock. Kirk has said: "I want one who excels in the sciences - someone I can control - who will be completely dependent on me". That's what he got.[2]

"A Little Romance" is easily my favorite. This Alternate Mirror story is fascinating, finely-crafted and a gem, without the usual brutality. The plot and characterizations are well-developed—unusually so for a K/S story. The adventure plot stands on its own, without the sex—which is confined to the close of the story. The poetry is unusually good in this zine with Flora Poste's "Sonnett" standing out. Works by Fine, Barr, Taylor and Drake made a strong contribution to the overall impression of this zine. The artwork by the Southern Cross was magnificent and I enjoyed the illos by Lewis, TACS—particularly the cover, Gruber and Parnes. This is one of the very best K/S zines I have read in recent months. With over 220 pages of fine print, it provides many entertaining hours of reading. [3]
