Horatio Hornblower fandom intro

Filed Under Horatio Hornblower |
I’m a newbie in this fandom and I’m currently researching its geography so I thought I’d make a basic navigational chart for myself and other guys.
One thing that is really bad for you when you come late to a fandom that has long passed its peak of activity is that more that half the links to the exciting stuff you find are dead.
Many thanks to all you guys who brought links!
crack_van Hornblower overview and memories. Many dead links but you can use them to get an idea of who’s who in this fandom, what pairings, clichés, and plots are most popular, etc.
Archie Kennedy Idol Reflection; Horatio Hornblower/Archie Kennedy (Hornblower) ship manifesto.
fairestcat’s Hornblower recs for all occasions and other Hornblower recs, mostly Horatio/Archie.
A Newbie’s Guide by nolivingman.
HMS Sailslash The archive for the sailslash list (a mailing list for the slash fiction in various Age of Sail fandoms).
Interface is very confusing for a newbie.
Yuletide search by fandom results for Hornblower (or just pick Horatio Hornblower in the list of fandoms).
About a dozen fics; authors I know from other fandoms.
HornblowerFic.com (slash)
Convenient e-fic-based structure.
HornblowerFrolix Fiction Page
Fics sorted by pairing, so that’s a ‘yay!’ from me.
Though This Be Madness (Horatio Hornblower/Archie Kennedy place)
And more links in their link section.
The Horatio Hornblower fanfiction archive (het and gen) (This is an archive of stories and poems submitted to the Horatio Hornblower fan fiction mailing list)
Undead Kennedy list by Versaphile
Short list.
New stuff is linked in despatches, the Age of Sail fandom newsletter. They are all-inclusive, being a newsletter, and there are no summaries, but pairings and ratings are noted.
article_xxix (a multi-fandom community originally based around a common interest in Age-of-Sail slash) Hornblower memories (recs and fics, quite a bit of it good).
hornblower_fic, hh_slash, hh_remix, crumpeteers (Archie Kennedy fan comm), pellegrinations (Sir Edward Pellew fan comm),
There are more places to go of course but quite a few of them are linked from the places named above.
I still would appreciate your recs of your most favourite Hornblower fics! So please share!

Hello,
this is pj's fannish place made with the goal to be a sort of public library of (or a gateway to) fanfiction. I read mostly slash, I love sex and various kinks, so if you are underage and somehow wormed your way here past net nannies and warnings, please surf responsibly and go somewhere else when you are asked to!
