    • 1999 October 2, Sally, “Re: looking for. . .”, in alt.tv.sentinel[1] (Usenet):
      I don't know if Henry Wyckoff is bi-fictional, but the stories of his that I've read were gen.
    • 2000 June 6, S. Mallet (AKA Marmoset), “Preferences in Sentinel Fanfic -- New Poll”, in alt.tv.sentinel[2] (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[3] (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).
