A Quokka Dreeds its Weird

I never realized that "Tears of the Singers" was such a blatant Tiptree knockoff. Losing something in the translation, though.

I vaguely remember reading "Spock, Messiah" and finding it pretty dire but enjoying it, but there wasn't much Trek fic out then and I was not picky.

A rather good Spock-centered one is "Black Fire" by Sonni Cooper. (At least I liked it, though it's not to be taken very seriously.)
