Britain's Regency period (technically 1811-1820, but more broadly 1795-1837) is a popular setting for fanworks, both from fandoms set during the actual Regency era and Regency AUs in other fandoms. This page concentrates on canonical Regencies.
There are a number of fandoms set during the Regency era, such as the works of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, Temeraire and some Age of Sail fandoms. Fanworks for these fandoms often major in historical accuracy, with authors being proud of checking minute details of dress and culture.
Fanfiction Examples
- Regency Fuck by Jen -- original fiction in a Heyeresque world
- Relatives & Relativity by Yahtzee -- a crossover in which the canon Regency characters in their canon setting of Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility get a visit from Doctor Who
- Wages of Vice by jat sapphire -- Georgette Heyer Avon/Davenant slash novel
