Author's Comments
In 1994, Gayle F commented on the two non-slash stories she'd written, and "The Spell" was one of them:
The first thing I wrote was a Spock/Leila movie script thingee (Spock died). A couple of editors were interested in printing it if I redid it as fiction, but I was really into slash and didn't want to go back into it. I wrote an Ursala Le Guin sort of thing about Bones having wizardry lessons, and saving Kirk and Spock thereby. That was in response to a Leslie Fish illo contest in Galactic Discourse, if my seive-brain serves. [2]
Reactions and Reviews
Story contest - illo of Kirk holding Spock protectively while McCoy huddles nearby clutching a book and a skeletal figure looks on. This was fun. McCoy becomes a wizard’s apprentice and has to hold evil spells at bay from his friends. [3]
