What I understand is that once a trend is noticed, it's probably already peaked, which is in line with what Angelina has noted.<br /><br />One genre that's new to me is fantastika. A publisher has asked me to review a book in that genre, and I'm not sure what to expect. I guess I'll see how it goes.Scooter Carlylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193754150220063430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-7243217248672709322011-11-01T13:17:42.023-04:002011-11-01T13:17:42.023-04:00Based on what I see at SF conventions, steampunk h...Based on what I see at SF conventions, steampunk has peaked. People are starting to roll their eyes at the mention of it. But nothing new has come up to take its place. The trend has a couple more years in it, then it will go to perennial status, like Trek and Firefly.<br /><br />Me, I love steampunk and have been writing it since 2006. It's great fun on many levels. And I enjoy dressing Old West Steampunk.<br /><br />There are lots of ways to write it, some very detailed, some entirely alternate history. My "Cherry Tart" in the Cavemen anthology is closer to the latter. It's hardly steampunk, since there is very little punk (save for a passing mention of prisoners condemned to the energy mines). I consider it gaslight romance. If it was a movie, it'd be a big splashy 1940s technicolor affair with Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHavilland.Angelia Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195112449945205248noreply@blogger.com
