Reactions and Reviews

A very short (two page) alternate-universe story of Kirk as an Irish dancer and Spock as his mysterious dance partner.

This was a neat idea that only served to frustrate me as it was basically a synopsis for a longer story. I was disappointed because it was such a cool idea filled with wonderfully sexy moments with smoldering passions and energy of the Irish dance it describes.

Speaking of the Irish dance—there was a lot of descriptions and definitions that should have been incorporated into the story to have been effective. I mean, learning a little bit about Irish dance isn't a bad thing—but I would have liked to have read about Kirk and Spock in that milieu instead.

This story is truly weird. And very short. You can gather by the title it concerns Celtic/Irish dancing. I would have been interested in reading a longer version just to see if it really worked for me. I've read Kirk-as-dancer type stories before and just have trouble visualizing the action.

And now for something completely different... a mytho-poetic little piece with Kirk and Spock competing as Irish dance prodigies / gods.
