So t's kind of a subculture I didn't even know existed until o-say, a few days ago...
how crazy is that?
I say subculture because they even have their own wiki page (click wiki for wikipedia's steampunk page). It's all so fascinating and new...Something I can really explore and find connections to in mainstream, well everything (I was going to say film but then I realized I've seen steampunk ideas/references/connections in all sorts of mainstream stuff).
There is such an optimism that seams to go along with it, and a curiousity, not to mention some pretty plush looking modds.
so I wanted to post somewhere that I think the book Snowhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif
has interesting steampunk connections, set mostly in London there is a mixing of magic and invention, science and folklore. Victorian era London full of misfits (furry pick-pockets, mysterious maidens, sewer dwelling scientists etc. etc...wow maybe I need to cut back on the coffee.
Go to Brass Goggles ...it's such a cute lil steampunkie blog...I'm sure the owner of said blog would say it's not cute but this is my blog so it doesn't really matter...
cheers

I don't mind Brass Goggles being called 'cute' at all and thanks for pointing out Snow - I'll have to keep an eye out for it. (You make it sound very interesting indeed.)
Thankyou.
You're very welcome!
Me too, meeeee too! I JUST discovered the genre, I've been "it" for practically all my life but - like yourself - never had a name for it.
Dude, rock on! This is so cool.
