Hey. In decades past Bantam published licensed works by Marshak & Culbreath... I read elsewhere there are (obviously unofficial) K/S slash "extra chapters" written by Marshak & Culbreath that were self-published as unofficial fanfic, I've also heard that Marshak & Culbreath were selling this material. My questions are 1. Does anybody know where one might legitimately purchase said material, or, 2. Only in the event that such material is not legitimately available for sale, and only in the event that it has subsequently been re-released legitimately for free (piracy is bad), does anyone know where this material might be accessible online?
Are you referring to the two different versions of Killing Time? In its original version, there was some stuff that could be vaguely construed as being K/S-ish, but it was removed in the subsequent reprinting.
Nope. Killing Time was written by Della Van Hise, not M&C. It has been rumored M&C wrote “extra” chapters of all four of their Star Trek novels. There’s documentation of the rumor (NOT of the existence of the chapters) here: http://www.trekbbs.com/showpost.php?p=4331084&postcount=35
I was told by K/S fanfic readers in the 80s that secret chapters existed for all four M&C novels. Never saw them in person and not game to read them. At first I assumed it was only the two Bantam novels, but no, I was told the two Pocket novels as well. No idea how widely distributed, but the people who told me used to read a lot of K/S. Ah, I see the link is to an old post of mine. I wish I could give more details, but I have no other confirmation other than the confidence that something was out there. I did once see a written reference to them separate to the verbal rumour.
