And I left it as a response to a post on LiveJournal...
But it does make an interesting question...what is your Steampunk? Are you a neo-Victorian, an Abney Park style Steampunk or something a little different from that? Here is what I left as a reply:
Alright, this is "MY" Steampunk world....I live in the year 2009... Place: Sydney, Australia.
Britannia still rules the waves.
Queen Victoria still reigns over the Empire. (Don't ask...it has something to do with a cup of tea and a Marconi set)
The use of steam power never ended. Why reinvent the wheel?
And my Elegant Steam has a lot of Punk in it.
It is where the past meets the future in the present.
And if anyone wants to tell me that I'm playing make believe wrong, well, I will be a lady and politely blow a raspberry at you and wander off.
And it is true...I live in the here and now. My Victorian England never ended.

ReplyDeletel think it is very important to be an individual and not to be a follower.
Well said Professor! Which is why I said that it was "MY" Steampunk world. There are some that love the idea of my world and there are others that think I'm certifiable for it. Do I care? NOPE! hehehehe
ReplyDeleteMaduncle agrees entirely and would welcome the opportunity to discuss all things including steampunk in person whilst I am in Sydney.
