Exactly. And I happen to like both. Other people only like one or the other. There are all different degrees of homosexuality, bisexuality and heterosexuality. We have no way of knowing absolutely the private lives of every crew member on the Liberator (or in the Federation), so it's all speculation. One speculation has no more or less validity than the other. And, in the case of fan fiction, it quite often doesn't matter. Once you set out to write a fan fiction story *of any kind* you are deviating from canon. You are entering an alternate universe of your own making.
