Are we sure he's not an immortal...?

Sharpe's Sword (transcript here) is yet another interesting addition to the Sharpe series. The South Essex, the unit the Riflemen are attached to, seems to have a competent colonel for once and an achievable goal instead of another suicide mission. Of course, it all goes blooey because this is a Sharpe story.

Why isn't there more fic for this fandom? ( You'd think anything that includes in its canon a wet and naked Sean Bean character would have oodles of fanfic... )
