Reactions and Reviews

Unknown Date

Amazingly hot getting together story with glorious descriptive imagery. Also a Hutch that gets the shit kicked out of him, poor thing. [1]

Heatwave, a first-time story with a lot of familiar elements--but when the story was written they were a lot less familiar, and the writing makes them new again. [2]

1987

The only two S/H zines that I have read are HEAT WAVE and PUSHIN' THE ODDS. I wasn't particularly impressed with either. HW was very flat and almost completely devoid of drama. PTO was better, but very hard on the eyes, and I didn't really care the the way everything tied into the final episode. [3]

1990

I want to make clear that I don't dislike the sex scenes, I love them! Just the proportion isn't always right, for instance, Heatwave, by Syn Ferguson is, in my view, a disaster, since the characterization of S/H, which led to the endless sex scene seems perfunctory and totally inane (Can that really be the same person who wrote Courts of Honor?) [4]

On comparing "Heatwave" and Courts of Honor, well, I wasn't that crazy about either one of them... Heatwave was short on plot and long on sex, and about the same as others I've read, but I would have liked it more if the sex had pushed my buttons. [5]

1994

For anyone who doesn't know, "HeatWave" is an *excellent* story. It transcends its characters names; it's a slash story that anybody (well, anybody who likes first time, not-quite-martyrdom stories) would love. [6]

1995

Heatwave, one of the best first time stories in the fandom. [7]

2004

The heat is unbearable. The hour is late. And Hutch is not in a good situation. A bloody and beaten partner falls into Starsky's apartment as Johnny Carson drones on in the background. The way he got himself into that state is something of a revealing factor between the boys. Looking for a replacement doesn't always satisfy. [8]

I loved this story so much that years later, I took another slash fan to Rosarita for lobsters (though we had champagne instead of white wine). [9]
