What is Steampunk?

Clickable Link

CherylLaVon: Here is a description from my previous steampunk swap that I hope will be helpful to you.

Have you heard of steampunk? It's a fairly new genre of fiction, but in recent decades has also become almost a way of life for some people. Part Victorian, part punk, part DIY, the steampunk wave is spreading and growing. Want some more info, maybe a few examples? Visit the following:

Steampunk is gears, cogs, and skeleton keys. It's bustle skirts and top hats, pinstripes and corsets. It's greasy zepplin mechanics and mad scientists or alchemists. It's clockwork robots, airship pirates, telegrams, spats, suspenders, compasses and, of course, goggles.

Take a look at the websites above and get inspired. You can also image search on Google, or visit etsy.com for more ideas. If you'd like, I can send you a list of what steampunk means to me, along with inspiring movies and books.

Thanks for the clickable link, too, my Swap-Bot-fu isn't that good yet. Do you do (less-than sign)a href etc. etc. or something different?

to get a clickable link you do the same as you do for pictures ! [ ] ( ) of course with the spaces gone and the name of the picture and url for the picture WITHOUT the ! and you put whatever you want the clickable link to say in between the [ and ] So for your other links...
