Would Naomi Novik's Temeraire series be included in your newsletter?

[sharpiefan]

Yes. The Reader follows three Temeraire communities: temeraire, temeraireficfest and temerairekinkmeme. I can't tell from your request if you are aware of these comms, or you're not and you're looking for stuff, or if you're asking because you post Temeraire stuff yourself. If you post Temeraire fic and want it to be included here but you don't post in a comm, let me know and I'll subscribe to you with the Reader (you don't need to allow it access or subscribe back; it's simply a way to see things for inclusion).

[lessonsinescapology]

I was wondering since Temeraire is an AU history series so I wanted to know if it was included in the newsletter.

Thank you for replying!

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell fic also gets included - they both have an Age of Sail setting despite the fantasy elements!

You're welcome; it never hurts to ask!
