Reactions and Reviews

1982

'Alteration' by Billie Phillips has basically the same plot as the first story in the zine: When Dreams Come True, which is a pity because they distract from each other. Spock goes back in time, from alternate universe to change his Kirk into 'our' Kirk, got it? You will, if you read the story. I found it, a memorable one. [snipped]

Overall, I recommend this zine. The stories are of a high standard, it's basically a fun-read. However, and it's a big however -- I do have strong doubts about the subject matter of some of the stories. 'When Dreams Come True' and 'Alteration' have K/S sex with, a younger Kirk of the past. If this ia a trend from which K/S is going to develop I am very dubious for the future. The theme could become sickening if continued.

4/5: I'm not actually sure how old Kirk is in this, but the way he’s described makes me slightly uncomfortable, so I decided to tag that warning anyway. Other than that, I actually enjoyed this. It was well written and had some pretty descriptions. It was a little short and didn't explain as much as I would have liked, but I suppose that's not really the point of this story.
