Ode to a Ripped Shirt by Ventura33

Never was an item of clothing more worthy of being immortalized this way. I enjoyed this very much.
-- Rocky, 02:34 03rd March

Career Alternative by PineTrees

McCoy is just so good at needling his captain--in more ways than one!
-- Rocky, 02:37 03rd March

Ceremonial Duties - Hail and Farewell by PineTrees

I like this very much. The author does a good job with the \'lower deck\' perspective on the commanding officers. I especially like how Kirk\'s concern and caring for his crew comes through so clearly.
-- Rocky, 02:41 03rd March

Ha-Hall by Rob Morris

Always nice to see a Peter Kirk story from Rob. The last line was unexpected (despite the story title) and made me smile.
-- Rocky, 02:45 03rd March

Hall of Justice by Bill Livingston

I always like seeing Kirk and Mitchell at the Academy.
-- Rocky, 02:47 03rd March

Not So Sacred Ground by Alex Voy

Very funny, and so typical of Kirk!
-- Rocky, 02:49 03rd March

Retreat by Alex Voy

Another funny one. And I\'m sure Kirk is doing a very good job, too!
-- Rocky, 02:51 03rd March

The Last Seduction by Jungle Kitty

This is a wonderful story. The title immediately reminded me of a key scene in \"All That Jazz\", and I love how well the metaphor works. Kirk certainly flirted with death enough times; I can definitely see it appealing to him now as the last great adventure. Beautiful imagery, and very poignant emotions displayed. Great use of the rosebud line as well.
-- Rocky, 02:55 03rd March

The Porch by PineTrees

The details really made this story come alive. I enjoyed seeing the beginnings of the man Kirk would become, and in fact was already on his way to being.
-- Rocky, 02:59 03rd March

Wish You Were Here by Alex Voy

Very clever! I for one am glad that this author caught the drabbling bug!
-- Rocky, 03:03 03rd March

A Slow Boat To China by Rob Morris

Nice turn around of the classic \"Only Nixon could go to China\" phrase, in more ways than one.
-- Rocky, 03:05 03rd March

A Song of Distant Shores by Lyrastar

An impressive re-creation of fairy-tale storytelling, very sweet.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:31 03rd March

Rose Hips and Vulcan Lips by Farfalla the Butterfly-Kitten

This PWP may be simple on the surface, just a winter day in Iowa, but the scenery descriptions, relationship dynamics and characterizations are so wonderfully portrayed that it is a true delight--not to mention the humorous reference about the experiments of pubescent boys everywhere.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:32 03rd March

Sensate Focus by Lyrastar

Plot, smut, good characterization and banter, what can you say about a story that has it all. The interpersonal reactions between the primary characters is spot-on, it truly had the feel of a TOS episode--minus the sex scenes of course.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:33 03rd March

Selections from the Book of the Dead by Lyrastar

Wonderful view of the Kirk-Spock relationship following the events in the Search for Spock and Voyager Home; nice portrayal of the night before the court martial scene.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:33 03rd March

The Impossible Possibility by Farfalla the Butterfly-Kitten

Very Spock-like in a cute scenario that builds up the whole Ponn Farr incident wonderfully.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:34 03rd March

Monkey Business by Rocky

This was a riot with some very tongue in cheek references about the original crew that were even funnier because of their accuracy. Great wit deftly woven with humor.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:34 03rd March

Seven Habits of Highly Effective Vulcans by Mr. PineTrees

We were impressed by this very enjoyable first story. The perfect blend of canon and irreverence made for a great chuckle. Bravo!
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:34 03rd March

Symbiosis by Ventura33

The thought of combining Kirk, Rand, a Grapefruit, a Horta, and a tribble boggles the mind. However, this story manages to do all that with hysterically funny results.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:35 03rd March

When Harry met Sally by Acidqueen

This delightfully entertaining answer to the Movie Quote Challenge plays off Kirk\'s infamous libido deliciously. We loved the ending.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:35 03rd March

Pun-ishment 32 by Rob Morris

We can only marvel at this well done and wonderfully awful pun that managed to stick that insipid 70\'s song in our heads.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:36 03rd March

Mirrored Yesterdays by Nocturnis1

Great view of a TOS episode from the mirror universe, it evoked a lot of \'what if\'s\' thinking about other events in canon from that perspective.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:37 03rd March

Tokens by IDIC

A sweet, touching story that was beautifully told through Uhura\'s memories as she looks over the mementos of times past with Kirk.
-- Whoa Nellie, 17:38 03rd March
