1999 July 2, Guide Posts, “Re: Guide Posts has Moved!”, in alt.tv.sentinel[1] (Usenet):
We've added a search engine that many of you bifictional folk will recognize from the Sentinel Adult Archive -- a search form that allows you to search all of Guide Posts for any author or story or category of story imaginable.
1999 October 2, Sally, “Re: looking for. . .”, in alt.tv.sentinel[2] (Usenet):
I don't know if Henry Wyckoff is bi-fictional, but the stories of his that I've read were gen.

This came from SENAD, and I thought it looked like a good idea.. I know I'm not the only member that's bifictional, so let's show our support to our favorite archivist! They work *hard* for us.
1999 December 13, ZAguilera, “Re: slash newsgroup?”, in alt.tv.sentinel[4] (Usenet):
Charge!! And what about poor confused bi-fictional me.
1999 December 14, Sabrah n'haRaven, “Re: FAQ, Charter, etc.”, in alt.tv.sentinel[5] (Usenet):
Yes, I believe (perhaps incorrectly) that most of the original actively-involved proponents were either slashers or bifictional, and the charter and FAQ explicitly allow for slash.
2000 March 24, Kathy P, “Re: Newbie”, in alt.tv.sentinel[6] (Usenet):
You should also try some Gen fic. I'm bi-fictional myself and there is some awesome Gen stuff out there.

And in my effort to be bifictional, what would Janeway wear? Paris? Chakotay? Helmboy help me out!!
2000 June 6, S. Mallet (AKA Marmoset), “Preferences in Sentinel Fanfic -- New Poll”, in alt.tv.sentinel[8] (Usenet):
Recently some Sentinel fans have been discussing the various types of fanfiction written in the fandom. Some were curious about the proportion of gen only, slash only, and bifictional readers.
2000 June 22, laura jacquez valentine, “Re: Slash versus non-slash”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated[9] (Usenet):
At any rate, the first Trekfic I posted was non-slash, and I'm pretty much rampantly bifictional in my reading, although I don't like most het (probably because I don't have good enough filters in place to eliminate the bad stuff).
2001 January 19, Optical Delusion, “Re: Slash Fic-er or GenFic-er”, in alt.tv.sentinel[10] (Usenet):
I *was* primarily a TS GenFic-er, but have recently (not even a month yet) become TS bi-fictional due to the slow output of TS gen stories (I am already MFU bi-fictional).
2001 January 21, Dianne, “Re: Slash Fic-er or GenFic-er”, in alt.tv.sentinel[11] (Usenet):
Bi-fictional here with a tendency towards X-Overs.
2001 January 20, Franzi, “Re: Slash Fic-er or GenFic-er”, in alt.tv.sentinel[12] (Usenet):
I'm bi-fictional. I used to be a Gen-Fic-er only, but then.. well... I've read nearly all Jim Owies that are Gen, so I needed to start with Slash :-) Any Recs?.
2001 January 28, Optical Delusion, “Re: Brackett”, in alt.tv.sentinel[13] (Usenet):
They're all gen (I haven't been bi-fictional long enough to list any slash ones).
2001 April 21, Mary Ellen Curtin, “Re: Rude Person, where art thou?”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated[14] (Usenet):
In other 'net-groups where most of the members seem to be slash-only, I call myself bifictional. Anyway you slice it, I'm queer.
2003 April 14, czb (Chris), “Re: Power balances, and coming out a slasher, etc. Was Re: S/U - link page”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated[15] (Usenet):
I tend to read for specific pairings that I like rather than for "het" or "slash" as genres (on one list I frequented, reading both was called being "bi-fictional").
