Our latest challenge is to pick up a fandom, and while you can already find several fandoms via our fandom promo tag, more is good, yes?

So, here's an extra place to share some of the historical fandoms we love! Our definition is fairly wide and includes things that may contain supernatural elements, contemporary material that is now historical, RPF and fiction, and our cut-off date is fifty years ago (1970). Fandoms may be as obscure (or not) as you wish. (Please - no bashing of anyone or their fandoms in this post.)

Here's a template to use, with c+p text below in the box:

Fandom: The flight of the heron, by D.K. Broster.

Historical Period: 18th century.

Content Notes/Warnings: I can't think of anything, except for the kind of typical battle/wartime violence you might find in similar books. And some animal death.

What it is/what’s so great about it: The first in a series of three called "The Jacobite trilogy", this book is an adventure story set in 1745, in Scotland, during the Jacobite rebellion. Its two main characters are a Jacobite supporter and an officer in the English army. At first they seem like complete opposites, but as the story moves forward, they come to respect each other and become friends.

This is a book about honour, loyalty and sacrifice for a cause or a belief. But mostly, it's about fate and unexpected, life-changing friendship. Also, it's truly interesting from a historical point of view, and for anyone interested in nature and landscapes, as it includes beautiful, breathtaking descriptions of the Scottish Highlands.

Where to find it: Libraries, online shops, and at Faded Pages ebook archive (in the public domain, under Canadian copyright laws).

Yay! :D

Wahey, you posted it :D

I would like to second this recommendation very strongly, and only want to add that, more than honour, fate or anything else, this book is about absolute oodles of hurt/comfort.
