Just sticking gears all over something doesn’t make it steampunk. And many steampunk stories are more punk than steam–too many technical issues swept under the gear-covered rug.

The other issue is zombies. Zombies can’t exist, but it seems like the memes are heavily intertwined. No zombies need apply.

Kept nodding my head vehemently. Interested to hear your thoughts about Steampunk and Alternative Histories too! Looking forward to your class! Thanks Cait/Alt-Kristen! 😉

Nothing drives me potty faster than people doing ludicrously a-historical things, because they’re actually 21st century people in disguise. Unless they’re actually 21st century time-travellers in disguise. Then it’s a recipe for major culture-clash, and I love it! (Story idea: person whose only knowledge of the Victorian era comes from badly researched steampunk novels gets transported back in time…)
My own personal theory is that steampunk has been around since 600ishBC and the Book of Ezekiel: wheels crosswise within wheels, lightning crackling between them, and “the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.” But maybe that’s just me. Lacks steam, I guess.
