Steampunk Romance
|
It’s where romance meets technology. The reason I have a cell phone that does everything in my purse but a quaint, turn-of-the-century style phone in the writing room. Mundania Press is looking for steampunk stories this submission period. Project Runway even has a contestant designing with a decidedly steampunk vibe. But I find those of my generation seldom know what it is. My sister doesn’t know what it is, so I’m having to education my niece on counter-culture movements. (They live in Wyoming right now. Apparently steampunk hasn’t made it to Wyoming.) But people hear the “punk” in steampunk and think 1980s style punk and miss the new vibe. Today’s steampunk is about giving technology that same elegance that the Victorian’s did. Writers of Romance should check out Ciar Cullen’s new Steampunk Romance Society. Because it’s time to learn to write a little steampunk. |
 A little old fashioned elegance. I want one for the garden. |
