Reactions and Reviews
I was also impressed by "Quietly and Safely Insane" by Mary Adelia. The fantasy she chose to depict represents a kind of sexuality that isn't usually associated with s/m, but which is definitely a part of the s/m phenomenon. There are no whips, chains or pain involved. This is a fantasy of dominance and submission in which Kirk becomes Spock's willing slave. "Willing slave" may be the worst insult you can give a Klingon, but in the realm of Human eroticism this is hot stuff. There are a/u slave stories in which Kirk willing remains a slave in Spock's service, but he wears that collar, is known to others as a slave and is compelled to accept all the ramifications of the established institution of slavery as it exists in that a/u. Yet, in Mary's story Kirk is a totally free man. There is no collar and no compulsion. He chooses to obey Spock out of love and desire. Few things are more erotic than this choice to serve. I also liked the title very much. It shows that this is a situation that provides Kirk and Spock with a safe context to experiment lovingly with the meaning of power in their relationship. [1]
