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.
INTERESTED IN RUNNING THE ARCHIVE? The archive has been around a long time and it's run on a very old version of autoarchive that requires manual maintenance. For various reasons (work, health, etc.) I've never had the time to upgrade it to a newer version or convert it one of the other archiving programs. If you're interested in running the archive, maintaining it as is or converting it, please contact me. I'm happy to continue hosting it for free (I own the server and host about 300 websites, mostly fannish) and pay for the domain name.
Maintaining it as is does require knowledge of ftp, text editing of a large flat (non-mysql) databases, html and css. Converting it to something else (efiction or whatever Archive of Our Own has created) requires more technical knowledge, some knowledge of php and mysql and a willingness to invest time, a lot of time.
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.
Keep up to date on the latest archive news and info at our 852 Prospect News Blog and 852 Prospect LJ webpages. For server problems, check the Vox Populli Server Status LJ (the webhost for this site) and for the Squidge mirror site, check the Squidge Server Status LJ which Walter keeps updated with the latest info on the server. If either archive site is down or otherwise unreachable, please check these webpages before contacting us.
Text too small? Too large? You can change it! Check out the Tips & Tricks page at the archive blog for more details on how to customize your view of the archive.
Popups: Please note that we do not have any popup ads or any type of advertising on this site. Since we're hosted for free at both Vox Populli and Squidge, we have no need to run advertising, so if you're seeing popups here, check the Virus Help page.
