 | Steampunk AdventuresFrom Wikipedia: Steampunk is a genre which originated during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction. It involves a setting where steam power is widely used—whether in an alternate history such as Victorian era Britain or "Wild West"-era United States, or in a post-apocalyptic time —that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. This technology includes such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or the contemporary authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeld and George Mann. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As both a writer and fan of Steampunk, this site is devoted to Steampunk works both of my own making and those I find which I consider the best examples. These will be stories of great adventures in the traditional genres of Fantasy and Science Fiction. The infiltrators of other genres will be steadfastly ignored here, passing mention of an airship or mechanoid does not make for good Steampunk. Who am I? Jaq D Hawkins links
