Dude was incapable of going a single book without mentioning sodomy, I doubt he's rolling in his grave over fandom's rather creative interpretation of Jack and Stephen always being in each other's pockets. The reason I don't personally ship them is because if they were doing it, I feel like POB would've taken inordinate delight in telling us, and would probably have concocted a rollicking great tale of how they were found with their pants down on a deserted island by a French privateer. (I do like the shippy fic. But my personal headcanon always gravitates back to Platonic Life Partners.)

Yes, I doubt a homophobe would write 20 books based on life on the high seas -full of British sailors- an exclusively male world which used to be a byword for homosexuality!

Again, cliches are cliches for a reason...

Having said that, I personally don't ship them, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the Aubrey/Maturin slash, mostly because from such a small fandom, the output is remarkably literate and funny.

PS: the official name of those books was the Aubrey/Maturin series, so really, it's not as if fans started seeing slash that did not exist at least in potential!

PPS: since the movie came out, I've noticed some refer to the fandom as the Master and Commander fandom, but really, it's always been the Aubrey/Maturin fandom, there's no real reason to call it by the title of one book when twenty (or 21) books were written, all of them focused on these two characters and their friendship.

One more thing!

Please do feel free to write this great rollicking tale of deserted islands, third party POV and pants at half mast: in spite of sharing your views on their friendship's platonic nature, I'd be down for that like nobody's business! :D
