J.R. replied to Kimberly Smith's discussion Steampunk Has to Try Harder"I think there's room to revel in the romantic beauty of time past via the Victorian era, but also room to get down and dirty and examine some of the "scary realism" within the steampunk genre that focuses or finds its base in the same…"
J.R. commented on Odd Ballington's event Showdown at Unobtainium 1012: Tesla vs. Edison"In the spirit of the Showdown and Tesla vs. Edison I saw this today and thought I'd share. While not necessarily steampunk, it's pretty cool and I think Tesla would be impressed.

J.R. replied to J.R.'s discussion Writing About Aether in the group The Aether Guild of Writers"I totally agree Jim. My main concern was committing some steampunk taboo that I was unaware of. So far, I feel pretty solid about the story and am just about to finish cleaning up chapter 1, and then onto writing chapter 2 and so forth."
"Any steampunk book should be written for the story and not the steampunk. That's what makes a good steampunk book"
J.R. left a comment for Eliza Dane"Hope your writing is still going well and hope my notes way back when weren't too overwhelming. Just started work on my first steampunk story and thought I'd say "hi"."

Writing About Aether
About to start my first steampunk story and I wanted to get everyone's thoughts, views, and experiences (whether from your own writing or things you've read) regarding aether.I've done some research on it and have read about the history, science and theories of aether, but want to know more in regards to steampunk fiction. I know in the end I have creative freedom and I already have some solid ideas of how aether will work and what it will be like in my story, but I just wanted to get community…See More
J.R. replied to Jim Screwloose's discussion Figment? in the group The Aether Guild of Writers"Hey Jim,
Heard of it a while back from a fellow empire member who posted her story on there, but have forgotten about the site since then. While I don't have any steampunk stories as of yet, I will need to check it out again when I do. Overall,…"
J.R. replied to Calista Taylor's discussion What are you writing? in the group The Aether Guild of Writers"Working on a fun little SP adventure series. Sort of in the spirit of Indiana Jones or The Mummy. Nothing terribly serious, in-depth or game-changing in the world of steampunk, but fun. This sounds bad, but I kind of think of this as my "lamb…"
J.R. replied to Eliza Dane's discussion Steampunk Story...Anyone care to read?"Eliza,
Will do. I'm planning on going to Clockwork Con here in Austin this weekend, so I probably won't have time then, but I will try to give it a look see today and work on it some after the weekend. Definitely keep it up though. I…"
Profile Information
- Introduction
- Still relatively new to the whole steampunk culture, but extremely fascinated by it. I'm a writer and enjoy the creative nature of steampunk and how it also pays tribute to time and culture past while blending it with something new. Hoping to meet others and learn more.
Currently working on my first steampunk novel and hoping for it to be part one of a four book YA series.
You can learn more about me and read some of my writing on my website: http://jrwoods.snappages.com
