Who would have thought new characters could be so enchanting? Here are some of my favourite stories about the freighter folk. Many of these authors have written more than one story about the freighties, so if you like what you read here, I recommend perusing their fic lists and the community
feelinfreightie for more tales about Daniel, Miles, Charlotte, Frank and the rest of the crew from the Kahana.
