Hi everyone.
I've just posted my "Octoship" picture on the "Steampunk Tendencies" group on Facebook. A very imaginative fellow called Scott posted a lovely reply.
I Googled it, thinking it was a quote from a book/film/game. Turns out, he made it up on the spot. After asking if he wrote, this idea came out:
"Steampunk Stories? Collect the best illustrations such as yours, then allow short stories (5 pages) to be submitted for each. It could work."
Anyone any thoughts on this? This is a text based sub-forum, but there's nothing to say there can't be a text/graphic union thread?
This thread could be a place to post both pictures and text to be matched together maybe?
Scott says he's joining here, and should be along directly
As an example, here's my picture and Scott's prose:
It was in the time before rainbows. My Grandpa used to tell me stories how men lived in mud and the clouds.
He said that when the Whale Wars broke out, mankind was forced to live in the thin air above it all. Crops where neglected and the people grew fewer every year until Solariumrefraction was discovered in the stratosphere.
It was the discovery of solar and then steam energy save the human race.
