Remington Steele - Fanlore

Show Synopsis

cover of the zine, Works of Steele

A female private detective, Laura Holt, has trouble getting people to take her seriously as a private investigator because of her gender, so she invents a boss, Remington Steele, and renames her agency to Remington Steele Investigations. Through a case, she meets a male thief who is trying to steal the very items she's supposed to protect; he decides not to steal said items and assumes the identity of Remington Steele. This makes Laura happy, as this means clients can now meet Remington. The relationship turns personal, but is fraught with tension since Remington won't tell her his real name or anything about himself.

Remington Steele Fandom

Originally zine-based and predominantly het, although there is a small subset of Steele/Murphy Michaels slash about. A Yahoo!Groups list, RSFic, is still active and promoting fanfic, as is a LiveJournal community, steelewriting.
