sharpiefan: Napoleonic soldier with a cup of tea, text 'tea break, dammit' (Tea break)
[personal profile] sharpiefan posting in [community profile] despatches
Can you believe it? Issue 10 already! Again, this is a very short issue. Please keep the links, fics, pics, meta and general AoSy stuff coming in - if you don't provide, or link to, AoS content, there will be very little for Despatches to report on.

Fanfic:
Red Skies by [personal profile] barefoot_bard (PG-13) Some Marines from HMS Cornwall find themselves in a very unusual situation. (AoS/WWII crossover) OCs
Loyalty by [personal profile] barefoot_bard, PG-13. A chance meeting of two countrymen aboard a prison hulk. (RevWar) OCs

Of historical interest:
[personal profile] sharpiefan link to an article about Nelson's handwriting

Miscellany and meta:
[personal profile] sharpiefan is trying to find deck plans of a 74-gun ship-of-the-line
[personal profile] vanilla_elf reviews the second episode of Series Two of Garrow's Law

Communities and challenges:
[personal profile] vanilla_elf wants prompts for The Twelve Days of Yule fics, concentrating on POTC and Garrow's Law

Rec of the Week:
Once Burned by [personal profile] idler_1814 (PG) An attempt to use the events of HH2 to explain a transition between the HH2 version of Hornblower to a character more consistent with book canon. (Written before Mutiny and Retribution aired.)

Got a link for the next issue?
Please comment and let us know. And please tell your AoS friends about us. The more, the merrier, after all!

Note: For fic links, M&C = Master and Commander or Aubreyad, HH = Hornblower, POTC = Pirates of the Caribbean, S = Sharpe. Others will be added as required.
