rolanniReminder to the folks who don't have LJ accounts: I love your comments, but do remember to sign your posts! It unsettles me to not know who I'm talking to. Thanks!
Still soliciting suggestions for good, new SF over here, and being amused by the interesting ideas about What Is Science Fiction and What Is Fantasy.
Not that we're helping any, I know. Writers like to mashup genres.
We do have a question down in that thread that I'm throwing open to the Group Mind, since I have embarrassingly not read either Escapement,The Difference Engine or enough Steampunk literature to have formed an opinion. The question from Lauretta at Constellation Books:
Watching this thread and thinking about this, I must ask - What do you consider steampunk? Fantasy or Science Fiction?
PS Steampunk as defined as The Difference Engine, Larklight (YA - very good), most of Jay Lake's work, etc.
Progress on Mouse and Dragon

Date: 2009-05-04 08:24 pm (UTC)The whole reason I asked the question in the first place was I wanted to recommend SF and had second thoughts after mentioning Escapement. (Hi Jay! Great stuff!) I *do* recommend steam punk as a whole, and the books/stories mentioned here get a thumbs up from me. Now that I know y'all don't think of it as Fantasy, my 2nd thoughts have been beaten back.
Thank you, Rolanni - enjoying the blog as always
