Star Trek TOS Zinedex: Authors (J)

Lee M. Jaecks

"Beyond Orion" Beyond Orion #1, Jan. 1977, p. 3-68: Spock returns home to spend time with Amanda, dying of lymphoma.

"The Jelly Donut Memorandum" Beyond Orion #1, Jan. 1977, p. 71-76: [with Carolyn Venino]; Silly screenplay “Amok Time” send-up in which Spock obsesses about jelly donuts.

"No Greater Monument" Beyond Orion #1, Jan. 1977, p. 83-94: Enterprise is called to retrieve Pike’s body from Talos; the Talosians, with no pets to care for anymore, commit mass suicide by causing Sulu to fire main phasers at them.

Vel Jaeger

Poem: "Daymare" Galactic Discourse #5, April 1987 (p. 158): McCoy is haunted by Spock's continuing hold on him, and nightmares he cannot remember.

Fiona James

"Shorala" Duet #8, 1984 (p.42-71): AU: Vulcan masters & Human slaves. The boy Jim Kirk is captured and sold to a Vulcan pleasure house. When he grows up, Sarek buys him to serve Spock in pon farr, and Jim falls in love with his master. Standard sex-slave story, with none of the characters behaving at all like those we saw on the show.

Susan K. James

"The Spider’s Web" Contact #3, March 1977, (p. 98-106): Kirk and Spock are experimental subjects to advanced aliens in, respectively, sensory and logic deprivation; to the experimenters’ surprise, they manage to assist one another to recovery.

"Rite de Passage" Obsc'zine #3, May 1978 (p.5-11): K/S. Sex-deprived, telepathic, piggish aliens torture Kirk in order to force Spock to have sex with one of their females so that all can join in the orgasm. Pretty silly.

"The Other Alternative" Galactic Discourse #2, July 1978 (p. 88-89): A happy-ending alternative to “City on the Edge of Forever.” Kirk stays, marries Edith, and prevents her from meeting Roosevelt and holding back the war. Points for the idea.

Frankie Jemison

* "Come Fill the Cup" R & R #4, Summer 1977 (p. 116-119): Shore Leave Planet vignette - Commodore Kirk enjoys leave with Spock and McCoy - who are, presumably, dead. Sweet.

Signe Jesson


"Caison [sic] Occurence" Alpha Continuum #1, 1976 (p.16-23): Crossover with Ann McCaffrey's dragon series. The Enterprise officers are negotiating with the dragonrider planet when a rogue queen dragon creates havoc in the province -- and traps Kirk in a cavern collapse. Best bit is actually the alternate farce ending provided by the editors - in which McCoy nabs the unconscious Kirk's little black book.

"Jinx"

"Difference Is a Virtue" Log Entries #2, Feb 1976 (2p): Kirk has suffered mental attack and must be saved by Spock and McCoy joining in mind meld. Again.

Carle Johnson

"Challenges" Berengaria #1, Sept. 1973 / Carle Johnson: A Pike-era Scotty-focused Mary Sue -- she gets them out of dungeon with microelectronics in her compact.

"Captive Audience" Berengaria #5, Aug. 1975 / Carle Johnson: A very peripherally ST story, but not bad. A young woman escapes overcrowded Earth to become a personal maid to the very nasty rich-bitch owner of a starliner, who strands her on a non-Federation world with no papers or belongings. She becomes the prisoner/assistant of the system's Emperor, who keeps suspending her mandatory sentence of death for being stateless. She warns him of the evil intentions of the woman who had been her employer with regard to a mining contract, and assists in forming a more advantageous treaty with the Fed. Said contract is negotiated by our boys who offer to take her home, but she prefers to stay with the Emperor, who promptly adopts her.

Libby Jones

"Caverns" Galactic Discourse #4, April 1983 (p. 5-20): Spock goes missing on a classified mission to an icy planet in search of a rare mineral hoard. Kirk follows, nurses the wounded Spock (by mind touch) until Enterprise returns, and deals with the Vulcan's sense of failure.
