Steampunk started as a genre of science fiction that takes place in the 1800's but where steam-powered machines take on the life of futuristic technologies.  Inspired by the images evoked by such writers as K.W. Jeter, Keith Laumer, and James Blaylock, Steampunks have now brought the pages to life through artwork, fashion, architecture, carpentry, jewelry....

MUSTS: Victorian era or Wild West inspired fashion; steam powered machines (sometimes from fictional ideas)
