Hello! And good day to you. You have arrived at the current home for all things Steampunk. I am your host Beck the Boilerlady, Beck Firing back up!  Prepare your goggles, walking stick swords, hats, and coats. Ladies, get your parasol ready and your corset snugged down. Here you will find zeppelins, trains, clockwork, and gears, and other bits and pieces that make up the workings of Steampunk fiction. Whether your interest lays in science fiction, fantasy, secret societies, hidden agendas, war, alternate history, mystery, or even a little bit of romance all of these blend well with Steampunk. If you have a moment you may wish to view an introduction to all things Steampunk. EvilEgg  has created wonderful guide: "SteamPunk: A List of Themes"  [E]. Also, Capt. J B Dryden III, RAI  has created a list (ever expanding) of works in the genre: "List of Steampunk Literature" . You may wish to further peruse, Alexa Black 's work "~Airship~ ((pt.1))" [18+]. If you are a fan of Jules Verne or H. G. Wells, you are a fan of steampunk, as they are not only considered pioneers of science fiction in general, but their style is the pattern Steampunk follows: Victorian era science fiction. More accurately, it most often propels the audience into an adventure in an alternate history/alternate universe where steam power is the norm rather than internal combustion.
