This is a page I expect to see grow over time. For now, here are some sites to get us started. The Professionals The Circuit Archive - Pros' main slash archive. A wonderful site Jess puts her heart and soul into. The Hatstand - A terrific collection of information that includes transcripts, stories, a zine list, and so much more. Professionals Online Library - This hasn't been updated in awhile, but is still an excellent resource for those who find the CD archive a little daunting at first. Professionals Episode Guide - Dave's site is a treasure trove of information about the series, its stars, guest stars, locations and particular challenges. There is even someone contributing a slash perspective! Ali's Recs - I've got to give credit where credit is due. When I was first starting out in Pros, Ali's site was where I turned for ideas as to what to read, watch, investigate. She always had good suggestions. Madrigal's Recs - This is another excellent collection of recs. Madrigal includes stories not only from the online archives, but from the CD as well. She gives synopses and quotes and organizes everything in a very orderly fashion. The only downside is the list hasn't been updated in nearly three years. Starsky & Hutch The Starsky & Hutch Archive - For this newbie, one of the chief challenges of S&H is finding where everything is. Unlike Pros, which has most of its stories either at the Circuit Archive online or on the archive CD, fic seems to be more scattered in S&H. This, from what I can tell, is the primary archive. It has a nicely designed interface and is divided between slash and gen. I don't know how frequently it's updated, but I do know there's good stuff to be found. Me and Thee Archive - This is the archive for the Me and Thee list, which is an active group of friendly fannish femmes (try saying that ten times fast!) who never run out of things to talk about. You'll find both gen and slash here. There seems to be some overlap with other archives as well as some work exclusive to this site. Kassidy Rae's Fan Site - Sheesh. What is it about this fandom and beautifully designed sites? I'll cop to some serious design envy here. This is a terrific site filled with fic and vids and screengrabs and all kinds of other goodies created by Kassidy and other talented folk. This is Kassidy's gen site. Kassidy's Slash Site - Another absolutely gorgeous website. This time Kassidy is focused on the slash side of the fandom. As with her other site, there is some wonderful fic to be found here. Bay City Library - This gen archive has over 3,000 stories archived, as well as poems and artwork. Starsky & Hutch Compendium - Not only is Pepper Ckua a wonderful writer, but she has pulled together an invaluable resource. Ever wonder what nicknames the boys have for each other? How many times they've been injured and how? Want to know what's canon about their backgrounds and what was decided by fans? Pepper lays it all out for you. Everything you've ever wanted to know about S&H is right here. The Sentinel 652 Prospect - This is the Sentinel's main slash archive. It's a really well laid out site with fairly robust searching capabilities. Most of the fandom's better known writers will have their stuff stored here. The Cascade Library - This nicely designed site is the fandom's chief gen archive. The stories are linked in various ways: via Live Journal, to private sites and even other archives. Most of the stories will include a short synopsis. You'll even find vids and author interviews. Anna's Sentinel Recs - This site has not been updated in six years, but I still find it an invaluable resource. Anna is a writer in several fandoms including TS, and her work is superb. But she is also an excellent judge of fic, and not shy about sharing her expertise. Thank god! Her evaluation of the authors and stories featured on her page are spot-on and often funny as hell. I relied on her like a crutch when I first started reading TS, and still do. Me My Live Journal - Not that I think you'll need more of me after hanging out here for awhile. But if you're interested in knowing more about my fannish life, this is probably the best place to go.
