This was the week we asked ourselves, “What’s missing? What would we like to see in Steampunk?” The conversation ranged widely. Zombies were questioned, but yowies proved popular. Lots of wistful sighs…”Where are the steampunk movies?”
Enjoy the chat, and apologies … at the very beginning I forgot to open the chatroom window, so grabbed the conversation off Twitter. That explains the weird formatting.
