Reactions and Reviews

This essay makes some good points about K/S writing maybe getting in a rut. I think more controversy is nice. However. I still don't like stories where the plot is everything and the characterizations of Kirk and Spock are mutilated just to fit the plot. Of course I don't think J.S. does, either. [1]
