A Mr Magpie informs me that a new printed magazine is hoping to do a little rebelling and emerge on to the Steampunk world – the aptly named, Steampunk Magazine, is currently seeking submissions of things of a Steampunk nature for its first and subsequent issues. Their plan is to put the punk back into Steampunk, and release a status quo upsetting Creative Commons liscenced printed magazine for free, or as close as they can manage (with a downloadable version available too). A noble endeavour, I must say!

With tentatively themed issues on “Putting the Punk back into SteamPunk”, “Journal of Misapplied Technology” and “Steamypunk”, I don’t imagine that every part of every issue will be quite my cup of tea – but I’m sure there will be some good things and great things there too. I wish them the very best of luck, and hope that they are successful – the more Steampunk (of any flavour or emphasis) the better!
