The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban

The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban is a Star Trek: TOS, same actor crossover fusion with Star Trek/Fantasy Island/The Price of the Phoenix by Bill Hupe and Ann Hupe.
It includes an original character who is M'Ress's sister.
 
It was printed in 1984 in two issues of Abode of Strife, along with accompanying poems, illos, and stories.
They are R-rated K/S material, but they are anti-K/S fanworks. 
"The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban," plus the related "Kirk's Nightmare," "Khan's Revenge," and "Fantasy Planet Revisited" are all fanworks with a focus of punishing Kirk in horrible ways for loving and desiring Spock.
==Publication==
It was originally printed in the first edition of Abode of Strife #2 in 1984, and was removed from the reprint edition. 
It was printed in full in Abode of Strife #3 in 1984.
==The Series==
It was part of a series, of which all were included in Abode of Strife #3:
* The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban by Bill Hupe and Ann Hupe ("What would have happened if the Enterprise returned to the Genesis planet to find Khan reborn as Rourke... and he has the staying power to raise Spock from the dead? Although the premise might be funny, this is a serious novel.")
* Kirk's Nightmare, illustrated poem by Bill Hupe
* Fantasy Planet Revisited by Bill Hupe (This story is a gruesome companion piece to "The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban." In it, "Khan" offers Kirk the life of the now-dead Spock if Kirk will become permanently addicted to a terrible drug, and Kirk accepts this quickly. He and Spock are beamed down to a planet, captured, and given a Vulcan woman to rape. Spock and Kirk viciously fight, and Spock kills the woman. But lo, it is but a dream. In fact, everything is a dream, and Kirk is now hopelessly addicted, incarcerated, and, yes, Spock is still dead.)
* Khan's Revenge by Bill Hupe (Kirk, now tragically addicted to cordazine in order to forget Spock's death, kills himself.)
==About==
The story, "The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban," is Kirk/Spock, but more an anti-K/S scold than anything. In the story, Kirk goes to Khan's fantasy planet where Khan has set up an elaborate plan to gain Kirk's soul. He grants Kirk's wish that Spock is alive, and Kirk then takes a very passive Spock to his bed. Kirk is then shown Spock's fantasy: Spock making love to Saavik, which breaks Kirk's heart. Khan tells Kirk that he must not interfere while Kirk is forced to watch everyone else's fantasies. Most of those fantasies involve the Enterprise's crew member's deaths by the hands of other crew members, the assassination of President Lincoln (!!), and a short vignette of McCoy taking Spock to bed. Oh, and there is some about Omne, a character from The Price of the Phoenix. In the end, Kirk is tricked to think he sacrificed everything for Spock, which means he passed some sort of test. Kirk goes back to the Enterprise, and lo, Spock is still dead. The end.

==The Hupes Required Prior Permission for Fan Reviews==
At least one fan had a very negative review for this story, one which the Hupes refused to print. 
From the editorial in Abode of Strife #4, in which the Hupes made the ridiculous statement that all reviews of their zines be cleared with them first: 
==Context==
Tensions were running very high regarding Kirk/Spock fanworks. 
Some examples of high-profile strife: 
* The Probe Letter by Winston A. Howlett: 1976/1977 
* The SekWester*Con Porn Debate (1977)
* Roberta Rogow's actions and comments (1980-1993)
* David Gerrold's remarks and actions (1984-1985)
* The Great Australian Radio Show Fiasco (1984)
* Killing Time, the pro Trek novel by Della Van Hise (1985)
* Banned from Tulsa, an incident in (1985)
The Great Australian Radio Show Fiasco was mentioned in the editorial of Abode of Strife #4: 
==The Writers' Policies and Views on K/S and Other Content in "Abode of Strife"==
The editors' view on K/S was also very complicated.
The submission guidelines for Abode of Strife published in the first issue said: "NO X-RATED MATERIAL, PERIOD!!!!! K/S (and otherwise) is acceptable as long as it is in good taste (no pun intended) and is NOT the central theme of the story."
The first issue also had a short statement by Ann Hupe called "K/S is B.S." which was derogatory and dismissive. See "K/S is B.S.".
The second and third issues included "The Wrath of Ricardo Montalban," a harsh and violent rebuke of the premise. 
In issue #4, the editorial had this statement:
