Reactions and Reviews
1985
The high point of the zine was a 28 page story, From the Fields by Dovya Blacque. On Omicron Ceti 3, under the influence of the spores, Spock confesses his love to Kirk - who is too taken aback to respond with anything but shock. After regaining his ship & crew (in a manner consistent with the aired episode), he thinks things over & decides he does return Spock's feelings. In the interim Spock has determined to return to Vulcan & by the time Kirk confronts him he cannot be dissuaded. They unhappily go their separate ways but, thanks to meddling by Amanda & McCoy, all is happily resolved. There are 3 lovely Merle Decker illos. [2]
1986
"From The Fields" by Dovya Blacque. Spock has left the ENTERPRISE and gone to Vulcan leaving no explanation. James Kirk is in San Francisco on 'temporary leave' because of stress. How the two eventually come back together after a painful separation which forces them to really see their feelings for each other is a truly enlightening and moving story. Well-written and my favorite in the zine, this story is a must read for K/S fans. [3]

Okay, I Knew there was a story here that I read over the weekend and didn't get to review. I loved everything about this story from start to finish. The conversations were such that I could picture the characters' interactions within scene very clearly. That last conversation in the cabin between Spock and Jim where Kirk cries tears of joy and relief was exceptionally poignant. What a wonderful story. Definitely something worthy of a favorite's list. Thank you very much for bringing it here and sharing it on the archive. [4]

3.5/5: I just couldn't really get into the writing style, despite there being nothing considerably wrong with the writing itself. The characters sometimes feel very off but mostly are characterised almost perfectly, in a way that doesn't really exist in more modern fics.[5]
