Welcome! to 852 Prospect: The Sentinel Adult Fiction Archive. This site contains fan-written fiction set around the TV show The Sentinel. If you are under 18, or don't particularly want to read about the relationships of m/m, f/f or adult m/f couples, please consider visiting the Cascade Library, the general fanfiction archive for The Sentinel.
THE ARCHIVE IS MOVING TO ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN The 852 archive has been around a long time and it's run on a very old version of autoarchive that requires manual maintenance and it's been difficult to keep it up in recent years. Now it will have a permanent home at AO3 and will be well taken care of by dedicated TS fans. It'll be a collection within AO3 and will retain its identity as 852 Prospect, The Sentinel Adult Fiction Archive and you'll be able to search it as well as the wider AO3 archive.
The best part is that authors will gain full control of their stories, they'll be able to claim them, edit them, add new stories, unpublish or delete if they want to, change their email, their pseudonym as they like. There's more details at the link above and there will be a couple public chats to answer questions.
AO3 is run by the Organization for Transformative Works, a true fan-run non-profit - including some of the people instrumental in starting 852 and the archiving software that made it possible.
Please spread this information as far as possible, wherever it's welcome (spam=bad), I'd like to reach as many 852 authors as possible. Please direct people to the AO3 page: http://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/215 so that they can get all the information about the move.
Finding Stories: Quick Search - Pre-defined indexes are updated daily, providing a simple and convenient way to browse the archive. Advanced Search - For those who want to perform more specific searches, the search engine provides a wide range of search options.
