It's one of the things that draws me to that series.<br /><br />Welcome to ADR3NALIN3, Maureen! Nice to have you aboard. :)<br />Anita Grace Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797870961916148616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817438941023006688.post-82999555579856991352012-09-05T11:47:41.832-05:002012-09-05T11:47:41.832-05:00Yes, Jordan.

We also discussed what Steampunk might look like in other cultures. Indian SP?

I never would have thought that perhaps FIREFLY would be consider a Sci-Fi version of Steampunk? What do you think? They're tempermental spacecraft could be construed as a "gear," although not with steam. <br /><br />I think of Steampunk, I think Jules Vern, man vs machine kind of thing with a historical component, but there are so many variations of this subgenre as an alternate telling of history that it's truly amazing.<br /><br />So Beth--why not take a Regency or French Revolution spin with a version of this?<br /><br />Nice post, Maureen!Jordan Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350761658156085280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817438941023006688.post-40424892946389162752012-09-05T10:30:18.471-05:002012-09-05T10:30:18.471-05:00That's a question that bothers me, as steam po...That's a question that bothers me, as steam power was a used and viable power in the Victorian age. Most Steampunk stuff I've seen is "Victorian + Gears - Fashion and Gender Restrictions". I think it's also more of a pulp than a punk, and more Victoriana than anything else (I rarely see Steampunk inspired in any other era, though I long for some Regency Steampunk, or French Revolution Steampunk)Beth Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898921671895123053noreply@blogger.com
