Oh boy, I need book recommendations!
My daughter, 14 years old this summer, loves her some steampunk.
We are always looking for recommended reads.
Qualifiers: Like I said, she's just about 14. Not keen on romance/sex, can tolerate some violence. Pretty high level reader, can read adult books easily so long as content isn't offensive to her.

Happy to hear recommended readings!

Hi there easygoingfemme,

Check out kc dyer: http://www.kcdyer.com

I am not sure if it's the exact right age group but I do believe her books are marketed toward 8-14 year olds.

Although I do not think they have a specific Steampunk theme, they do deal with time travel.

I met kc at a writer's convention in Surrey, BC. Lovely human being.
I have not read her books, but cheek them out. They might fit the bill.

Thank you for the recommendations!
She's had that steampunk bible out of the library about a hundred times. Think it will be one she needs to own.

I find that not only the clothing, artistic styles, old innovated with the new, antiques mixed with modern, all of these beautiful crafted and witty minds and manners are combined to create a fascinating culture.
Steampunk has always been first and foremost a literary genre, or least a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy that includes social or technological aspects of the 19th century (the steam) usually with some deconstruction of, reimagining of, or rebellion against parts of it (the punk). Unfortunately, it is a poorly defined subgenre, with plenty of disagreement about what is and is not included.
It has also been explained as this: What is Steampunk by the way?

Well, if you are not familiar with the term, it refers to a genre of fiction where steam power, spring gadgets and modern marvels of the 20th century are thrown back to Victorian aesthetics. Technology in a Neo-Victorian setting. The term has spread on to include not just books, but any real mashing up of technology with more classical style, where Verne-esque and Wellsian science is a reality. Some post-apocalyptic elements rise up on occation, depending on the portrayal.

The definitions across the internet vary quite a bit, but that is the general gist of it. Regardless of what your definition of steampunk, welcome to Steampunk Lab, home of all manner of inventions of a curious sort.
No matter how it is explained, everyone has an opinion on it, and most will argue that theirs is more of the truer statement. I tend to think that all views are exceptional and fascinating... Anyone have an interest? Or photo's to share?

Been actively doing and being a steampunk for several years now. I frequent a local to me convention geared specifically for (haha, look at me with the puns) steampunk called Steamcon (will be happening this year on October 25th-27th in Bellevue, WA).

I recommend that if you are able, you should look into going....it is a blast.

I like Victorian and gothic styles and Steampunk seems related to that. Some of it is really cool.

Default My card, Mesdames et Messieurs

Good afternoon, gentlefolk. I am a Professional* Navigatrix and Amateur Retrophrenologist. I once brought the sailing ship "The Wanton Strumpet" safely into dock at Ulan Bator in thick fog - I was only let go because Captain Ceri had actually wanted to dock at Shanghai, but she did say I made a good job of the docking though. I was then in the employ of the Blue Star airship line, mostly on the run from New Victoria to Chalons in the Belgian Coprates on Mars, but also took part in the Syrtis Minor expedition, as I hold a Lieutenancy in HM Naval Reserve.

Currently resting between jobs. Please send offers of employment to:

Ms Esme nha Maire, c/o Mrs Throckmortons' Guest House, 47 Albert Boulevard, New Victoria, Western British Territory, Mars.

Yours sincerly, etc.

---------------

*(in my mind, though I do actually know some basics of aerial naviagtion)
