I'm going to try to remember to do one of these every Friday, since I like weekly things! I'm going to toss out a question which people may (or may not, if my questions suck ;) ) wish to discuss!

This week's question: What is "steampunk" to you?

(My answer in the comments when I get home from work.)

When I think of steampunk, I think of gadget-y Victorian stuff with lots of gears and random chains and dials. Some of it's shiny, but most of it is grungy and mismatched, because whatever the cool thing is, it was made of whatever scraps the inventor had around. Things like what Jules Verne wrote about....

The huge cyberman in this past year's Doctor Who Christmas special is probably my favorite bit of cyberpunk *ever.*
