coraaI love steampunk, but, contrary to a lot of common steampunk tropes, I'm a lot more fond of Edwardian and Roaring Twenties steampunk than Victorian steampunk. Well, and I think that medieval/renaissance clockpunk is pretty awesome, too.
It may just be that I look better in those clothes -- walking dresses, flapper attire, and cotehardies all suit me better than most Victorian fashion.
This may also play into my fondness for Fullmetal Alchemist.
(I also like anachrotech that isn't completely focused on America and Europe. I remember a fantastic Heian steampunk outfit. And wouldn't that be a great manga -- kids in clockwork giant robots?)
(This is on my mind because I'm attending "Steampunk University" this weekend. Geek geek geek.)
