May the magic be with us all!
FYI: I'll put up the daily posts between 6 and 8pm, CET, each day. The exact posting time might vary due to RL issues. My apologies.

Pross BB explodes in October — it's an annual event (as you'd probably supposed). The 'half way' point is 1st July when you have to submit a draft of what you have so far — the MODs like to see evidence of progress! — and an idea of where your story is going. You then get matched with an artist, and after that you work together to bring the whole thing home by 23rd September when you are given your October posting date.
There's two really good places to hang out for The Professionals (apart from my journal!), but seriously — the Lj community
As well as the usual suspects the CI5 Circuit Archive (https://www.thecircuitarchive.com/), a creaky but belovèd site, is full of stories — and the
It's a late seventies/early eighties show — loads of eps on YouTube (https://www.google.com/search?biw=1536&bih=722&tbm=vid&ei=KPM9YPi9EJKV1fAPlte2gAU&q=the+professionals+episodes&oq=the+professionals+epsi&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0i13k1l10.22018.23416.0.25921.5.5.0.0.0.0.142.487.3j2.5.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.5.484...0j0i67k1j0i13i30k1j0i8i13i30k1.0.fcy_JevXG7o) — it ran to 57 all told — it's often cited as an unintentional time capsule as it caught the UK just on the cusp of major changes. Clearly it's a show dear to my heart, but if you like sash, it's also famous for some of the best slash stories in fandom. Those of us who write Gen (as well as slash or exclusively) are ploughing a lonelier furrow, but we do exist!
'Hunter Hunted' is often cited as one of the best intro eps — 'The Gun' is not its finest hour. Although I have written in defence of it!
'Move story' is from my first comment this Pico (see prev post) — I have been trying for ages to move an eleven chapter story from FF.net (for which it is too explicit) to AO3.
MFU WIP — good question! I hadn't counted, so now I have — it's around 9.5k at the moment, and it's nearly finished, so I expect it will come in at 10 to 12k.
I have a number of other MFU WIP in the offing (I do a 'Kapusta' post to my journal periodically saying where I'm at with things — 'Mr Kapusta' is an Lj character — one of my end of year Lj 'round up' messages featured a quote from Mr Kapusta). So next Pico, I may be writing about one of them!

Yep,
