Loveslaves

Loveslaves is a Kirk/Spock story by Dale Campion aka Barbara Gordon, aka Helena Seabright. 
It is an A/U in which Kirk captures a Vulcan scientist and then keeps him as a sexual slave. 
"Loveslaves" was published in Alien Brothers in 1987. It had the working title: "Love Slave Lost."
==Its Prequel==
This story has a prequel called "Love Slave's Song" which appeared in Duet #3 in 1981 written by the same author using the name Barbara Gordon. 
"Loveslaves," the continuation of this story, was to have been published in the next issue of "Duet." It was rejected by the editor of "Duet" because it featured a sex scene with fisting, something the editor felt was too extreme and dangerous. 
Despite the negative reactions it created, "Loveslaves" was nominated for a Fan Q as Best Star Trek story.
This story ends with "To Be Continued," though it was not continued, at least in any known zine.

===1982===
In a letter to fans in Datazine #21, the author says there was to be a sequel in 'Duet' #4 but "I would like to make it clear that the information in the editorial in that zine is inaccurate. I'll gladly clarify the situation to anyone who writes directly to me. Cynthia C. Drake of Final Frontier now plans to publish the entire story, complete and uncensored." 
In May 1982, Gordon stated that "The sequel to 'Love Slave's Song' will be printed. For details please contact [me]". from Communicator #5 
In June 1982, Gordon had this personal statement: "The sequel to my story Love Slave's Song which appeared in Duet #3 has been accepted for publication. It will not be censored in any way. Details will be forthcoming." from Communicator #5 This reference was to the zine Final Frontier. It was unclear if Gordon meant the first issue of "Final Frontier" that was published in June 1982 or the second one that was to be published in 1983. In February 1983, however, Cynthia Drake ran in ad in "Communicator" #9 that said the story would appear in "Final Frontier" #3 in 1983. 
In the end, the story was NOT in "Final Frontier." The reason is unknown.

==Comments by Gordon==
There was to be a sequel, called Loveslaves, published in "Duet" #4, but the of "Duet" refused to print it in her zine, citing unacceptable content: mainly fisting. 
Because of this, there was much back-and-forth between the Gordon and Dabinett regarding censorship and the role of editors. 
In the editorial to "Duet" #5 in 1982, the editor restated the acceptance guidelines for her zine: 1) (no death stories, 2) no sexual abuse of children, and 3): 
Gordon refused to alter Loveslaves, and she stated several times that this story would now appear in a different zine: In a letter to fans in Datazine #21 (Autumn 1982), Gordon said:
