    Interested in the two predominant genres of fan fiction within a specific fandom (generally genfic and slashfic, or hetfic and slashfic).

    • I don't know if Henry Wyckoff is bi-fictional, but the stories of his that I've read were gen.
    • 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.
    • 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).
