]]> Comment on Introducing Clockpunk by Goatclock http://davinciautomata.wordpress.com/2007/03/03/introducing-clockpunk/#comment-1824 Goatclock Mon, 21 Apr 2008 21:22:08 +0000 http://davinciautomata.wordpress.com/2007/03/04/introducing-clockpunk/#comment-1824 I would feel silly calling my novel 'steampunk' as it has no steam powered devices in it at all. It does, however, feature clockwork automata and other spring-and-gear driven devices, so 'clockpunk' is what I call it. For all those hating on the sub-sub-subgenre thing going on here, pretty much ALL fiction can be classified as 'aternative history' or 'alternate earth' since, as fiction, none of it happened anyway. There's nothing wrong with a group of like-minded individuals getting together and separating themselves from the crowd to pursue different interests... that's how steampunk got started, after all.
