A Tale of Cornish Ghosts
May 16, 2005
Miscellaneous/Original Fiction // NC-17
Ghosts and gay romance in Victorian Cornwall.
According to the Forbidden Fruit Magazine site, there will be no more intalments in this series, so read at your own risk.
Update: This story has been removed at the request of the author. As far as I know it is no longer available online.
03 Jan 07: This story (as a Professionals fanfic rather than original fiction) is available at The Circuit Archive, as AA Birdwatcher’s Guide to Cornish Ghosts. I have no idea how these two versions came to exist, but thanks to Lynda once again for pointing this out to me.

The Cornish Ghosts stories can be found at the “The Circuit Archive”, The Professionals slash fiction site,and the story is pretty much finished I think.

At first I wondered if your comment might not be a prank (because why would an original slash story be available at a Professionals fanfic archive?), but when I did a search at the Circuit Archive, lo and behold, there is a Professionals story called A Birdwatcher’s Guide to Cornish Ghosts by someone named Lizzie. A strange coincidence, I assumed.
Only, after comparing the beginning of the Professionals fanfic to a copy of A Tale of Cornish Ghosts that I have saved on my hard drive, it seems that you’re absolutely right—they are the same story. When or why a Professionals story was published in an original fiction zine (with the names of the main characters changed,) I don’t know. But my apologies for suspecting your motives—and thank you for pointing out this story to me!
