They have many level of fandom.Despite one can think, just '' i love steampunk'' don't say much on a person personality. What your level of fandom ?
My answer: My main passion are actually sci-fi and history. Loving steampunk is the logical result of this.

I can honestly say that it is one of my main passions since I do find ways to incorporate the steampunk aesthetic into my other passions. It has also been leading subject of the fiction books I have been reading.

I voted for the last option  Steampunk is one of my main passions. I have others, some of which get influenced by steampunk, some of which don't. |

Ummm....it's not my main thing, but I have many passions. My main passion is probably mathematics (sorry). It's in my top ten tho, does that count?

I have been a goth in every respect for over 2 decades and steampunk is just a twist on that for me personally with more of an excuse to build interesting things so it's hard to gauge it alone, as it's own 'thing'.

One of my main passions, my others being architecture, history, astronomy. I find that they all tend to cross-pollinate or blur together at the edges anyway.

I have many interests, but steam and Victoriana has always been a component...my various endeavours seem to blend at the edges. Aviation, Martial Arts, Music, Traditional Art, Old Cars, Firearms, and Steampunk kind of "colours" everything else....

I only discovered it recently, but find I like the aesthetic very much. It, to a degree, fits into a lot of what I like with waistcoats, pocket watches, hats etc. All of which I already wear in everyday use, much to the bemusement of my colleagues! I haven't deliberately gone down to route of finding "steampunk" stuff yet, but probably will to a small degree, ( if my better half allows it  ). Very nearly bought my first set of goggles last week, just don't know where / when I'd wear them  |

I love Steampunk as I find it often crosses over into my other interests and is not exclusive to or of those other interests. Variety is the spice as they say.

"One of main passions" for me, too. Frustratingly enough, I find myself cycling around through liking various things on a scale of weeks or months. So, for a couple months, I'll be totally into one thing, then that will yield first place to something else for a few weeks, and so on. I find I always come back to steampunk, LEGO, science fiction, model railroads, D&D, wargaming, and video games, though. So if you made a role-playing steampunk/sci-fi video game with tactical elements, trains, and other cool things to make LEGO models of, then you'd have me hooked for quite a while. Well, as long as it was a good game.

They don't make nice message boards for other Victorian inspired retro-modernists. I'm in this category more by association than anything else, though steampunk is at least an interesting diversion.

Hahaha, yeah, I used to hang around the friendlier gothic lolita boards and groups an awful lot, because they were "sort of near enough" to my interests. |

It's one of my main passions. My family comes first, of course. But along with steampunk I have others passions, such as economic democracy advocacy.

Its hard for me to really think of steampunk itself as something I'm into per say, more steampunk is the only single bucket into which all the things I'm into all fit.

I chose the last answer because it amused me, and while I would say I'm probably a little bit more neo-victorian than steampunk, I do quite love steampunk. I go through phases with things, and so I sometimes drift away from steampunk, but I always, always return to it. That says something, certainly.
