An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Since I’ve never seen them mentioned on my dashboard, it’s a pleasure to recommend Sarah Caudwell’s four detective novels. Their narrator, Hilary Tamar, is an Oxford law professor who pays frequent visits to a group of former pupils, all now barristers in London. Corpses have a way of turning up among these young lawyers, and Prof. Tamar is inevitably drawn into the investigation. (Attention is also paid to the, um, personal lives of the young people.)
If I tell you any more than that, I’ll give away far too much.
Caudwell wrote The Sibyl in Her Grave during her final illness, and it isn’t quite up to the standard of the others. But they’re all good, and they’ve been an influence on my own writing!
Separate Boxes, chapter 8, now up!

I wrote this chapter in mid-August, during a week when there was a project going on of re-watching episodes to see how well or badly they passed the Bechdel Test. I though it might be interesting to try to turn this on its head. While I hope that the resulting conversation will make readers smile, I recognize that some may find it unrealistic.
Sam/Andrew shippers are coming out of the woodwork! This is so exciting!
Not only that, but they’re asking for help from the fandom. Here are excerpts from two of the reviews I have received so far for Separate Boxes:
Also, if anyone out there has a comprehensive list of FW fanfics or fanfic pages and can publish it somewhere, I and my fanfic friends would be extremely appreciative.
And:
If there are other places that carry FW fanfics, I would love it if someone could provide a list and links.
Alas, we have no way of contacting these people directly because they reviewed as guests - without leaving a user name. Tumblrfolk, you can sign a review on FFN without being signed in to the server. Thank you to @bloghey131313 for doing just that!
Meanwhile, what can we do for these enquirers? In addition to the FFN list, there’s AO3, and I’ve been given to understand that there are some stories tucked away here - but that you have to be registered on the site to see them. Anyone know of other places?
