Crappy Holidays from Cobra Starship


Episode 2 from Season 2 is now up over at http://cobracam.tv

Title: Chasing Starlight
Pairing(s): Bob/Mikey, various background pairings
Word Count: ~32,600
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Space opera AU! Bob is a cargo pilot on a secret mission. Mikey is an escaped prisoner with no memory of who he is or where he came from. Together, they travel the galaxy in search of Mikey's identity ... but perhaps identity is less what you remember and more what you do when your back's against the wall.
Notes: Written for teaforbryony in the drawn_to exchange.

An AU in the Sixteen Candles 'verse, but a little less Dracula, a little more ET.

Greetings. Longtime costumer, first-time steampunk explorer, etc. etc.

In a search to understand just what makes steampunk costumes steampunk -- outside of actual pieces of faux technology, e.g. brass ray guns -- I've seen certain symbols: cogs, gears, watch faces, watch fiddly bits, keys, locks. To a lesser extent I have seen compass roses, compass faces, clock hands. It's also usual in jewelry in decoration to see coiled wire, with the occasional ship's wheel and (for some reason) the octopus. (All hail the octopus.)

There is another class of symbols that don't seem to be drawn upon for steampunk identifiers: the square and compass, the sun, the moon, scales, or the phoenix -- which are all masonic symbols. Freemasonry was a prestige club in Victorian England (or so I understand) and it seems like these "symbols of devising" would fit in with steampunk. But so far I have not seen any. Has anybody run across any of them in their steampunk wanderings?

(Also... has anybody seen Illuminati symbols worked in to steampunk costumes, like the eye in the pyramid?)

Thanks.

Greetings my fellow steampunks,

I pray that this missive finds you all in the rudest of health and the highest of spirits despite the seasonal chill that blights this land. And possibly the Americas too, I am uncertain. I had high hopes that this new technology would find a way to end the cold winters of my youth, but regrettably they continue unabated. Global warming my left foot.

But it is not environmental policy I wish to discuss with you all today. It is the orient. I believe at some point in the not too distant past, our very own J.D. Falksen wrote a series of articles relating to steampunk across a variety of cultures, one of these I believe was Japan and China. Sadly I am unable to locate a copy of this essay, despite my best efforts. I do wonder if one of my fellows would be able to send me one of those hyper-links to this work? I would also be very interested in hearing the thoughts of others on this matter, whether they be in essay format or less formal manner.

Seasons greetings from England,
Professor Zarkov

Want a little more "steam" in your coffee? Introducing the Royal Vacuum Coffeemaker.

But more than a vacuum...what really sucks is that they're out of stock until Summer of 2010.

I hope this is alright to post here. I'm sure there used to be a steampunk place to buy and sell, so please feel free to remove if i've done the wrong thing

i'm posting this here because I have made a gorgeous dress that i'd like to sell, and it looks like it would fit it nicely in the steamy world.

Hi there all!

Just wanted to put an ad out for both shops I'm currently running. My Etsy shop is for more genuine Steampunk Goodness, and let me be clear, I do not use any plastic items or gears. I prefer to use as much in old/vintage parts as I can, and everything is hand made or hand modified! My wife also does some knitting from Victorian patterns and other creations!

I also operate a little zazzle shop for more everyday stuff. T-shirts and such with a steampunk flair. Take a look at both!

NEW MOUSTACHETTE TRAILER!!
Tobin Nageotte // December 22, 2009

A few months back, our dear friend, Apple Will, went down with a particularly nasty case of the Will Flu (the “Wu”) and referenced his 103º fever for ideas on how to improve the world and/or humanity. Five intense hours later - 1 in Final cut, 4 chatting to a cute Cuban/Asian girl (a “Cusian”) on Bebo - he delivered his masterpiece…a Moustachette/Brokeback Mountain trailer mash-up dripping with innuendo and tension of the S-kind. Wipe a tear from the eye, be still our beating hearts.



We cheered, shouting: “Post that genius to the interwebs!!” and triumphantly carried Apple Will on our shoulders to the nearest corporate koi pond. There, Producer Paul delivered a sentimental eulogy best summarized with: “Apple Will, you are like these fish - beautiful, strong, orange and white.” We all clapped.

This tea party inspired skirt is perfect for well, tea parties or taking your doll along to go see the new Alice in Wonderland movie in the new year.
Or if you want something sweet but not pastel coloured for your doll :)

It should fit Blythe and Pullip dolls too although I imagine the lenght will be different on them.

2 in stock! They are all for direct sale, so if you want one, make sure to snatch one up whilst stock lasts. The fabric is sold out so if they're gone, they're gone!
