Patrick O'Brian's naval stories, set during the Napoleonic Wars, are referred to outside of slash and media fandom as the "Aubrey/Maturin" novels, to some fannish amusement. (See virgule) Within media fandom, they are inside the umbrella fandom of Age Of Sail. The fictional output within the fandom tends to be mainly slash, pairing the main characters Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin. There is also a smaller amount of gen and femslash.
As with many Age of Sail fandoms, crossovers occur quite frequently. Crossovers with Hornblower, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Georgette Heyer exist.
The film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, released in 2003, is an adaptation of the 10th novel, but it also uses scenes from other novels. This film release caused a surge of popularity in the fandom, and the creation of many online fan communities.
