Reactions and Reviews

A TRIBUTE TO FRIENDSHIP by Joann Marek is basically a "coming to terms" story between Spock and McCoy at ST: TSFS. Though I am usually partial to warm scenes between Spock and McCoy, I found this story a bit on the sentimental side when it came to the actual confrontation between the two men and in Spock's narration. I also think the author would be best advised to stay away from writing in first person as her writing came across as so important that her characters and plot suffered for it. [1]

I was very touched by Joann Marek's "A Tribute to Friendship." McCoy is suffering from memories of lost love and the pain that goes with it. Spock notices and wants to help. As the two begin to talk, they open up to each other, telling truths they had hidden for years, including those about their sharing of consciousness when McCoy carried Spock's katra. A very moving story. [2]
