ci5hqHey, all! How are you?
I am new to the list and just having a chance to look around. I come to Pros by way of The Circuit Archive, and I think I discovered the archive one day, a few years ago, while looking for new and interesting slash to read. *fans self* Found it in a big way! I spent *days* there. My involvement, so far, in The Professionals fandom has been soley through reading Pros slash at The Circuit Archive. (I've only seen a couple of actual episodes of The Professionals.)
So, I am very interested in what everyone is reading, as well as what you would recommend. And, overall, how did you find yourselves here and interested in The Professionals?
What do members consider Pros staples and must reads? What are your Pros experiences?
Oh! And, this one. Do you find a difference in writing styles due to different eras of writing in the fandom? (I'm not certain I know how to elaborate on that idea.) The Professionals is a fandom with some history, and I'm interested. I'm *really* interested in how your participation in this fandom has changed or developed over the years. :-D

When one in the 2000's tries to write as if they were in the 70's, can they make it work? Everything about that piece would have to be researched. The sentence structure, grammar, construction, not to mention society as it was then, words that were in vogue, attitudes that were in vogue, in that particular era *and* area.
Thank-you for all the lovely author recs, and links. I can see that I am going to be living Pros for 'at least' a couple of months.
I, seriously, had I known of fandom, would have been involved in Starsky & Hutch slash from the get go. Not to mention Kirk/Spock. I just had no names for what I was feeling/wanting. I feel a bit cheated that I missed out on Pros when it was new. I'll make up for it. :-P
