Reactions and Reviews
Spock has made arrangements for his upcoming pon farr, but is kidnapped en route by a Klingon brothel-keeper, who has his own plans - to finally get a porno tape of a Vulcan. His method includes use of the mind sifter to view the events of "Amok Time" from Spock's confused pov - which is the most interesting part of this story, and includes Spock essentially raping T'Pring. Lots of frantic thrashing and suffering on Spock's part, and lots of hugging/holding comfort being provided by the betrothed, Sarek, Kirk, McCoy, and just about all the senior officers. Even T'Pau is rather motherly here. I found the Vulcans over-emotional, but Johanna gets points for giving Spock an affectionate relationship and letting him keep the girl. Favorite lines: Kirk, of McCoy: "Bedside manner was an elective at Georgia Med." [1]
Long but occasionally interesting tale concerning Spock's attempt to marry a Vulcan woman, impeded by his capture and torture by ... well, never mind. Worth wading through. [2]
"Quid Pro Quo", by Johanna Cantor, illustrated by Empey. This is the best, the longest, and the most explicit story in the fanzine. Spock goes into pon farr while the Enterprise is on shore leave at the open port of New London. He is kidnapped by the employees of Kathor's Pleasure Palace. Kathor, a Klingon, wants to make Spock and his intended bride T'Pan the unwilling stars of his next porno flick. Details of Vulcan reproduction both as a biological and as a sociological phenomenon are developed in depth. Flashbacks include an unexpurgated version of "Amok Time." [3]
