Well I do believe that Austin and I are the only members who visit this obscure backwater of the forum at the moment.

However, I am currently chortling with satisfaction having written a 10,000 word steampunk in the past week or so, whilst attempting to write 3,500 words for Penumbra's 'Gaslight' edition. The thing is, I have zero experience of writing steampunk, so whilst I may think it's the best thing since sliced bread, it is quite possible that a reader might think it toast.

Anyone in the mood to spread marmalade in return for my usual microscopically myopic evaluation of one of yours by return, please PM me.

If you don't mind exchanging a 3,300 word gaslight fantasy for your 10,000 page steampunk I will go for it.

I have read various steampunk books and written a couple of stories--maybe four as of today.

And if I could have a week to two weeks to crit it.

Thanks Louis, but this one's already gone out, and I try not to think about those again until I get a response. I'll happily take a look at your gaslight fantasy though.

Okey Dokey.

I still need to revise the gaslight story so it may not be ready for look over until toward next weekend. If that is okay, I always need someone to check over my stories.
