Women's Murder Club is an American mystery and legal drama based on the books series by James Patterson. It is an SGA 6 Degrees fandom because the actor Joe Flanigan, who plays John Sheppard on Stargate Atlantis, was a guest star. Angie Harmon, who plays Jane Rizzoli in Rizzoli & Isles, played Inspector Lindsay Boxer in WMC, a character with many similarities to Rizzoli.
Canon
The book series and the TV series revolve around a group of women either working in or adjacent to the criminal justice system who come together to use their combined expertise to solve crimes.
The TV series has murder-of-the-week episodic style, as is common with police procedurals, but with an over-arching antagonist in the Kiss-Me-Not-Killer throughout the season. The show only ran for one season.

Fanon
Despite the single series run of 13 episodes, a dedicated but small fandom formed around Women's Murder Club. The fandom in many places — such as Livejournal, Fanfiction.net, and AO3 — was very sapphic-focused and much of the fanworks created were either Gen fics or F/F pairing fics. After the show's cancellation, a group of fans collaborated to create additional, text-based, virtual seasons which they released on a schedule and included Women's Murder Club themed "adverts" between chapters. As with the fandom overall, these virtual seasons focused on sapphic interpretations of the characters. They can still be read through the Wayback Machine (linked in Example Fanworks).
