Welcome to The Hatstand!
If you're wondering about
our name, it
dates to the early days of the fandom when a wise someone observed,
"Bodie and Doyle are as bent as Cowley's hatstand." Thus was born the
affectionate term "hatstand" for a Pros slash story. It originally
referred mostly to sexy PWPs, but we're using it here for any and all
Professionals slash stories. The Hatstand archives all slash stories
that focus on the characters of Bodie, Doyle, Cowley, et al. Please
check out our offerings via the links to Authors and Titles below!
NOTE: As of Aug 2008, this archive is closed to new submissions of
stories, but we remain open to posting new nonfiction resources.
