- 1999 October 2, Sally, “Re: looking for. . .”, in alt.tv.sentinel‎^[1] (Usenet):

- 2000 June 6, S. Mallet (AKA Marmoset), “Preferences in Sentinel Fanfic -- New Poll”, in alt.tv.sentinel‎^[2] (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).
