Mark F replied to Captain Jack Havock's discussion Steampunk Nutcracker ideas!"Sounds really cool.
I'm afraid I don't have too much in the way of ideas. The general aesthetic for the Nutcracker is usually about right for Steampunk. Set design will be important, perhaps some machinery, boilers etc? You could make a…"

Mark F replied to Aloysius Fox's discussion New Citizens of the Empire"I'm not exactly new here, but I've never introduced myself properly.
I'm an author with one Steampunk novel and one fantasy novel completed. The Steampunk one came this close (holds thumb and forefinger apart) to getting published by…"

At the same time as I write this series I am also working on a variety of novels for publication, mostly in the Steampunk genre.If you like what you see here I’d love it if you could show your appreciation by helping me spread the word.

Mark F replied to Daedra Evans's discussion Open call for Literature and Art Submissions"The main page is annoying to view (on Firefox 15 Mac). Every time the slideshow changes vertical size, everything below is either pushed down, or pulled up. Makes it very difficult to read anything when that happens every few seconds."
James Murray replied to Mark F's discussion Orphans of the Celestial Sea"I fully understand the time issue, it does take a bit.
Never did actual roleplaying, but the role play here is how I get to live my steampunk, being in an area there are no others around."
Mark F replied to Mark F's discussion Orphans of the Celestial Sea"Thanks, it's great to hear I have your attention. As you point out, feedback on most creative endeavors is hard to come by.
I'll have a look at the roleplays, but I'm not sure if I have enough time to participate. Takes me back to…"
James Murray replied to Mark F's discussion Orphans of the Celestial Sea"Actually, after sitting down and reading it a bit later, i am hooked. Too much violence in the first chapter would have turned me off, but you kept it real, which can sometimes be tricky in a Fiction book :)
I want to know what happens next,…"
Mark F replied to Mark F's discussion Orphans of the Celestial Sea"Thanks James, I'm really excited about it, but I want to get another few posts up before I start to really promote it. I know it's hard to really get into a story after just a few pages.
The first episode plays out in four installments, so…"
James Murray replied to Mark F's discussion Orphans of the Celestial Sea"Looks good so far. Just perused it briefly cos I am off to bed. Always love something new to read, and my library sorely lacks steamy novels."

Steampunked Bathrooms
Posted on October 7, 2011 at 3:08pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
I thought I'd take a bit of a different angle on fashion today and look at some interior design. The bathroom is not exactly the first place people would think of when they consider Steampunk-ifying their lives, but there are some very cool ideas out there.
Toilets are of course, essential, and…
Why Steampunk?
Posted on October 6, 2011 at 10:45am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I first learned about Steampunk many years ago, when issue #4 of Girl Genius had just hit the stands. My brother is an avid comic collector and he encouraged me to read them. I found them really cool, but at the time I was busy with many other things, and the whole idea of Steampunk got put on a back-burner in my mind.
A little over a year ago, I… Continue
Why aren't there more good steampunk movies out there?
Posted on September 29, 2011 at 1:23pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I've been wondering this for a while. Is it because the few Steampunkish films released have done really poorly, like the Wild Wild West, and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, or because Hollywood just hasn't caught on to how cool a well articulated Steampunk film could be?
Bloodrunsclear created this fake Weird West movie trailer by chopping up other films.…
