Reactions and Reviews

1994

Written in an unusual, sort of clipped style, this story is a little sexual game between Kirk and Spock to see who comes out on top (so to speak). There are lots of funny and sexy moments and when Kirk commands Spock to "suck my nipples", I decided it was time for a cold shower. Each time Kirk demands something sexual from Spock, it just gets hotter and hotter, I didn't think another cold shower would be effective after Kirk relates a dream that takes place in the Wild West. PDS. (Pretty Damn Sexy). Neat ending as we find of what the "games" are all about.

A fine story; full of passion.

Great opening, Mirror-Spock telling Mirror-Kirk he must find a new Captain's Woman. Kirk: "Fuck you." Spock: "A temporary solution at best." !! Oh boy. Kirk takes him up on it. Spock has long desired Kirk, but he hadn't wanted it to be a casual fuck, wanted seduction and love...

The mirror dynamics here are depicted really well. At first their communication is not honest, although both get hooked on the sex. Eventually they become honest lovers, but Spock can't meld, which he wants so badly, because of his involvement in the revolution.

So then we have the tie-in with the episode as we know it. Our Kirk makes M-Spock realize his Kirk might just be able to advocate the revolution too. I so prefer this interpretation than the one which hints M- Spock must dispose of his captain in some way.

Nice story, very.

1999

Kirk and Spock play a little sexual game to see who comes out on top in this neat Karla Kelly story.

Lots of funny and sexy moments abound and when Kirk commands Spock to “suck my nipples”, I decided it was time for a cold shower.

Each time Kirk demands something sexual from Spock, it gets hotter and hotter. I didn’t think another cold shower would be effective after Kirk relates a dream that takes place in the Wild West.

I loved the end when the true nature of the games is revealed.

Of course, every time I review a Karla Kelly story, I can’t help wishing I could count on reading her stories in more recent zines. Sigh.
