Steampunk ATC Swap - International

Number of people in swap:9
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:June 30, 2008
Date items must be sent by:July 15, 2008
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

Steampunk! Gears, goggles, Victorian fashion and anachronistic technology! For this swap you'll send one steampunk-themed ATC to two partners.

If you don't know what steampunk is, think of books like H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine" or Jules Vernes' "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". Movies with a steampunk look or themes are "The Golden Compass" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen". Start by reading the Wikipedia definition, and check out the Datamancer's web page.

Swap guidelines:

1) Create and send one ATC with a steampunk theme to two people. Please post questions here if you don't understand what steampunk is. I'm guessing most people signing up will be familiar with the genre.

2)Participants should have a 4.7 or higher and zero no-sends. PM me if you have any questions. I reserve the right to ban people because I want this to be an amazing, fun swap with no flakers.

3) This swap is international. Please be aware that it may take two or three weeks to receive your swap.

This is the first swap I've hosted so let me know if I've left anything out.

A great steampunk novel is "The Difference Engine" by William Gibson And Bruce Sterling. A great web toon is "Girl Genius" by Phil Foglio.

Those are great sources for inspiration! Welcome everyone, keep those suggestions coming. Steampunk means different things to different people, which is one of the cool things about it. If there is enough interest maybe we can have a steampunk jewelry swap at some point.

There is a Steampunk Dandies Group on Swapbot, and we have a Functional Necklace swap on there currently. (Haha Current- like electricity...)...

Whoops! I missed the sign up date. To back up Brooke, if there's anyone in this swap that is not a member of the Steampunk Dandies Group, please come and join us, we'd love some more members.
