I think, for those who have the headcanon of him being from Zephron, the assumption is that he is on Earth for some reason - presumably people can move within the Federation, maybe he and his woman are there as tourists? But none of this is in canon. It's most likely that he is from Earth. That makes the most sense, after all! Yet the Zephron thing is so embedded now, it's probably where I'd be more comfortable if writing fic myself - though reading fic where he's from Earth is great! I am not at all opposed to that idea! :D

I've read so much fic recently, I can't remember, though the name watervole sounds familiar, so yes, it could have been me! I have an account there now, so any future kudos won't be left as a guest (unless I forget to sign in)!

I remember your actual name from when I read fanzines, I think. Or somewhere, anyway, from when I was an uber fan - before my looong break from this fandom. Possibly filk songs, I remember having at least one tape of them! Ah, memory! It's not always the best, I'm afraid!
