Dissertation Proposal is a Kirk/Spock story by Jane Elza.

It was published in the print zine Matter/Antimatter #8.

From the author:

I just want to say that the citations are taken from the books and authors given in Star Trek II Biographies, William Rotsler, Wanderer Books, New York, 1982. - Jane Elza [1]

Summary

"The events surrounding Spockʼs “rebirth” and the question of whether he and Kirk were lovers is presented as a dissertation."

Reactions and Reviews

1990

The style of these two pieces didn't appeal to me at all. I found the patterning after dissertation papers much too dry and formal for something I am reading for enjoyment. [2]

I liked the idea of this.

I also thought it an intriguing thought that Spock's 'death' would be covered up so that a hundred or so years in the future no one would be sure what happened. However, both these papers were too short for the point they were trying to take.[3]

I found this very interesting and unique even though it wasn't a 'story' in the usual sense. The footnotes were a nice touch.[4]
