Ive heard members talk about some Streampunk novels/stories which tend to downplay the "Punk" I took this to heart and tried to find a way to keep the "punk" in 'steampunk". I thought Id give at…Continue

Xeno Gilder replied to Balogun Ojetade's discussion THE PSYCHOLOGY OF STEAMPUNK: Personality Types and Temperaments and Archetypes, oh my!

But, I certainly did not waste the last month studying and making notes every possible chance, compiling a large cache of notes just to pull some sort of prank,…"

Xeno Gilder replied to Balogun Ojetade's discussion THE PSYCHOLOGY OF STEAMPUNK: Personality Types and Temperaments and Archetypes, oh my!
"Actually its pretty easy to explain. I was on the Internet, saw the word Steampunk, clicked on the link, read up on it, I like to write stories, its an interesting genre, I would like to write something which uses it as an influence.
Is it reqiured…"
Xeno Gilder commented on dave bartram's blog post Steampunk isn't as different as you think it is.
"I hope I have a bit of an anvantage since Im completly new to the genre so Im not overly mezmerized by it, as Ive only read a few paragraphs of examples of what Steampunk 'should' be."
Xeno Gilder replied to Balogun Ojetade's discussion THE PSYCHOLOGY OF STEAMPUNK: Personality Types and Temperaments and Archetypes, oh my!

Keeping it Punk
Ive heard members talk about some Streampunk novels/stories which tend to downplay the "Punk" I took this to heart and tried to find a way to keep the "punk" in 'steampunk". I thought Id give at least one character a different way of talking, a few special words or expressions, as a way to maintain the punk element. Most of these are existing words/phrases. Some of the meanings have been changed, while others a combinations of several terms.Some are kinda silly, but I need it for what I have in…See More
