While not strictly speaking a historical, this fic is a) a really good read and b) set in a specific place and time and the plot deals with a real-life historical incident, so this should appeal to those readers who like a good historical, which is one of the reasons I include it here. Enjoy!

Don’t say I won’t go to great lengths to find fic… Here, I reconstitute one of the Internet Adventures (an ongoing series of round robins from alt.drwho.creative) via Google groups.

Red October was the first historical IA and it hangs together pretty well for a multi-authored fic. (Not all of them do). This does mean it features the IA companions Wil, Jadi and Angela, but don’t let that put you off. They are explained here and they’re good fun.)
