Wells and Jules Vernes. Goggles of some kind were needed to run those; modern steampunk chooses to make those of brass instead of leather. But submarines, huge walking robots, monocles (see League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) all fit in. I'm sure Pogo Sticks do too, and if no one has put them in yet, I'm sure someone will!<br />BTW after reading Matt Delman's blogs on worldbuilding in steampunk, and then these followup articles, I've decided to continue blogging on worldbuilding in steampunk on my own blog.Check it out if you are interested at<br />http://www.alisonmcmahan.com/blog/2010/jan/steampunk-world-buildingAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199518182509233009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-29657715765486071012010-01-23T12:15:09.911-06:002010-01-23T12:15:09.911-06:00Ah, Heather, that's where I went wrong then.

Incidentally, good to know the title because I'm working on a steampunk feature for <i>LoveLetter</i>, Germany's romance magazine and now I can include her title. <br /><br /><i>But why brass goggles?</i><br /><br />Because they're cool! I don't think it gets much deeper than that, lol!<br /><br />Steampunk romance is going to take over the world, baby!Heather Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00913459109753829391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-74649313628680819552010-01-22T16:17:54.592-06:002010-01-22T16:17:54.592-06:00"But we considered many titles before settlin..."But we considered many titles before settling on that one!"<br /><br />Man, did we ever!

She's know for writing high-action, fast-paced stories.
