| The last story, IN THE NICK OF TIME, by Faille, is explicit enough for all. A post STIII plot, it shows the bonded pair reuniting, Kirk's wait ended. A warmth exudes while the words steam. A delightful dichotomy and and an excellent end for a very diverse zine. | | The last story, IN THE NICK OF TIME, by Faille, is explicit enough for all.

| The poetry. For those who aren't aficionados of poems, they are excellent. The editor, being one of the best poets in fandom, chooses well, and presents with a flare. What else can you ask for? | | The poetry. For those who aren't aficionados of poems, they are excellent. The editor, being one of the best poets in fandom, chooses well, and presents with a flare.

− | The art, with the exception of the less than inspirint back cover, is well chosen. The Merle Decker work, although very recognizable, is good, and appropriate while the Marilyn Cole is gentle and polished as benefits a zine that wishes to produce no undue violence, rape or mayhem. The surprises in the art are Caro Hedge & Shellie Whild. Both did graphics for poetry, story borders and such, adding that extra touch that polishes off a zine and leaves a nice taste in the reader's mind. In fact that is the main feeling left when I closed the covers: Satisfaction. True, nothing incredible to make you call your best friend at 3 in the morning, but something to recommend when she asks you what zine she should buy next. This is a must for K/Sers, though I'm certain most of you already have it. If so, then get it out and re-read it. It's well worth the time. | + | The art, with the exception of the less than inspirint back cover, is well chosen.
