From a Flyer

Come to your senses in the sultry world beyond the Imaging Chamber.

The Thrill of The Leap is a brand new adult zine catering to distinctive literary tastes -- and inspired sexual imaginations. Not a slash sine, this collection of erotica, whimsy and fever dreams is created for Leapers who just want... more sex, more stories, and more Sam.

Savor the magic... This collection of sexy, sophisticated, slash-free stories presents a side of Sam Beckett you've only dared dream of.

If you --

yearn for stories that are well told

crave erotica that is well done (rather than rare)

need to drink from a well of truly satisfying, passionate prose...

Step into a world of Quantum Leap-inspired seduction tailored for those who love to read ... and react.

From romantic to randy, tender to torrid, sweet to sizzling, these tales have something for everyone.

Give yourself to the leapfire and hang on as your favorite quantum physicists inhabits the lives and beds of characters new and familiar, including:

A tough guy who will drop you into the end zone of love and leave you breathless at the first down.

A fast-driving lounge lizard who's short on smarts and long on cute.

A rogue journalist that just keeps coming back like a little Petey boomerang.

And much, much more!

Reactions and Reviews

I saw this zine at EastLeap, and while I didn’t have time to really look at the contents, the lay-out is nice, and the cover is wonderful.[1]

The Thrill of the Leap: Since I never received a reply as to whether they’d like an ad printed in The Handlink, I won't do one. Some perverts are discriminating in regards to body parts...and I wouldn’t want to scandalize anyone. Beautiful color cover of our Sam in the throes of... ahem, you get the idea. Worth it for the rather slashy (in my sleazy opinion) Wiccan story included. [The editors are] supposedly working on a second issue. [2]
