Summary:

After events recounted in “Shelter,” Kirk, Spock, and McCoy return to the Enterprise and try to maintain the poses of normal life.

As Leslie Fish explained, after Shelter was published, “There were also a lot of LOCs breathlessly asking: ‘What happened when they woke up?’ So of course I felt obliged to write the sequel. Note that, again, 90% of ‘Poses’ is about emotional jockeying about, and only the next-to-last scene gets down to anything like explicit sex. Even there, I concentrated on the feelings of the participants more than the action. In fact, one bit of advice I’d give to aspiring writers of any sort of erotica is: first plan the scene in complete detail—every touch and wheeze and thrust and gasp—and then don’t write it; instead, write what the actions make the participants think and feel.” (x)

Poses by Leslie Fish was a sequel to her earlier work Shelter and was originally published in the first issue of the Obsc'zines in March 1977.
