Update: #SteampunkChat has new hosts for the Fall/Winter session, with either myself (@artificer13) or @Jenny_Schwartz + guest at the helm.
artificer13 That about wraps it up, thanks, all, for making this such an inspiring #steampunkchat -10:14 PM Nov 9th, 2012

Jenny_Schwartz @thegeo LOL yeah. MUCH less brown 
#steampunkchat -9:56 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @thegeo I’d like to see more functional things. Pretty is nice, but… #steampunkchat -9:56 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 RT @FaublesFables: Topic: Steampunk tech? What are the ‘limits’, inspirations…? #steampunkchat -9:56 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @FaublesFables I like that! #steampunkchat -9:56 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @TCSteampunk Hey! Welcome back. #steampunkchat -9:56 PM Nov 9th, 2012
thegeo @Jenny_Schwartz Less brown, less gears, more original stuff. #steampunkchat -9:56 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @JackBateswrites They do have wings sometimes, don’t they? #steampunkchat -9:56 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 I think both of those are excellent topics. #steampunkchat -9:56 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @artificer13 I’m thinking next week’s #steampunkchat Steampunk Dreams. What would you like to see in Steampunk? -9:55 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FaublesFables Topic: Steampunk tech? What are the ‘limits’, inspirations…? #steampunkchat -9:55 PM Nov 9th, 2012
TCSteampunk Sorry I couldn’t keep up tonight… @JackBateswrites yes, another fast hour indeed! #steampunkchat -9:55 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites For you crime writers out there, I also tweet under @MickeyDonuts #steampunkchat -9:55 PM Nov 9th, 2012

JackBateswrites Man, another fast hour #steampunkchat -9:54 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 We’re already down to the last few minutes. Any final thoughts, shameless self-promo, or chat topic ideas? #steampunkchat -9:54 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz Hope so RT @artificer13 I don’t think so, I think it’s “re-personalization” of tech. A rebirth of the age of the craftsman. #steampunkchat -9:54 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @VonMalcolm I don’t think so, I think it’s the “re-personalization” of tech. A rebirth of the age of the craftsman. #steampunkchat -9:53 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 RT @VonMalcolm: Are Steampunkers the Luddites of Today? Artistry over Technology? #SteampunkChat -9:53 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @VonMalcolm I see characters embracing the tech of stmpnk #steampunkchat -9:53 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @VonMalcolm Personally, I think steampunk is about asking “Why should we have to choose between Artistry and Tech?” #steampunkchat -9:52 PM Nov 9th, 2012
VonMalcolm Are Steampunkers the Luddites of Today? Artistry over Technology? #SteampunkChat -9:51 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @steamboat28 It’s got legs in the YA market. #steampunkchat -9:49 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @artificer13 In an effectively ‘open-source’ world, technology is much harder to use as a tool of oppression & ignorance. #steampunkchat -9:49 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @artificer13 In my mind, steampunk isn’t a fad, but a movement to restore our mastery over technology. #steampunkchat -9:47 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Fancier2 RT @Jenny_Schwartz: I’m wondering if our steampunk chara’s embody the tensions of their society? #steampunkchat -9:47 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @steamboat28 LOL! I’m actively pursuing OLDER tech in my R/L work, so I’m really swimming against the tide. #steampunkchat -9:46 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites When I write stmpnk horror, there’s always an element of Lovecraft in the back of my head #steampunkchat -9:46 PM Nov 9th, 2012
MichelV69 RT @Jenny_Schwartz Or ours. Like sci-fi, steampunk is best when it lets us talk about the things we cant speak of. #steampunkchat -9:46 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @JackBateswrites Benjamin “Q”, Steampunk Inventor to the Queen’s Secret Service. #steampunkchat -9:45 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @steamboat28 Oh yeah! totally agree with that #steampunkchat -9:45 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @Jenny_Schwartz Or ours. Like sci-fi, steampunk is best when it lets us talk about the things we can’t speak of. #steampunkchat -9:44 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @artificer13 Like how #Q keeps getting younger in the #Bond films #steampunkchat -9:44 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @JackBateswrites To me, Steampunk is about you controlling tech, not the other way around. #steampunkchat -9:44 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz I’m wondering if our steampunk chara’s embody the tensions of their society? #steampunkchat -9:44 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @artificer13 This hits very close to home. :’( #steampunkchat -9:43 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @Jenny_Schwartz HA! #steampunkchat -9:43 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @steamboat28 I don’t think we can get away from mod tech. Look at us right now. #steampunkchat -9:42 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 Another dynamic I’d love to see is the maker/tinkerer/artificer who technology is passing by. #Obsolete #steampunkchat -9:42 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @thegeo I have some of that going on, too. I’m a mixed bag. #steampunkchat -9:42 PM Nov 9th, 2012
thegeo @steamboat28 Oddly enough the good Captain Theo *cough* only uses black-powder weaponry and blunt/sharp objects, no tech #steampunkchat -9:42 PM Nov 9th, 2012
thegeo @steamboat28 I like steampunk because I *love* tech. #steampunkchat -9:42 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @JackBateswrites Can’t tell you #steampunkchat #ludditehere! -9:42 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @JackBateswrites In fact, most of my love of steampunk comes from my displeasure with modern tech. #steampunkchat -9:42 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites Are there any secret Luddite societies now? #steampunkchat -9:41 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @JackBateswrites Who doesn’t? They’re so cute in their cocoon of comfort. #Luddites #steampunkchat -9:41 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @JackBateswrites @artificer13 I’d be one if I weren’t so fond of tinkering. #steampunkchat -9:40 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @JackBateswrites Or possibly Steampunk meets “The Thing” but still cool. #steampunkchat -9:40 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @artificer13 Awesome idea. I <3 Luddites #steampunkchat -9:39 PM Nov 9th, 2012
VonMalcolm I think I have a Frankenstein Complex when it comes to Steampunk Characters. #SteampunkChat #ElectricityNotWithstanding #GothicScience -9:39 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @artificer13 …oooooooooh. yesplz? #steampunkchat -9:39 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites Or is that too much like Abe Lincoln Vampire Slayer? #steampunkchat -9:39 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Scottmoonwriter RT @DelilahSDawson: OH HAI, @VonMalcolm and #steampunkchat! I spent the evening with @cmpriest and am now swooning on couches. Very steampunk. -9:38 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 One trait I’d like to see is a Luddite reaction to “new-fangled” Aether-tech, but forced to use it by circumstances. #steampunkchat -9:38 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites If you think about Amundsen and his race to the south pole with Robert Falcon Scott in 1911, throw in shape shifting alien–? #steampunkchat -9:38 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FebruaryGrace @steamboat28 Thank you! This is a fascinating topic! #steampunkchat -9:37 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @FebruaryGrace We’re just glad you’re here! #steampunkchat -9:36 PM Nov 9th, 2012
thegeo @artificer13 Bit late due to sorting pokemon cards.. #steampunkchat -9:36 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FebruaryGrace OMgoodness I can’t keep up with #steampunkchat tonight moving so fast! #sorryguysI‘mtrying! -9:36 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FaublesFables after all, a sci-fi character is setting oriented: they’re regular people in interesting circumstances. #steampunkchat -9:35 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @MichelV69 I think that’s a consistent theme across the *punk genres that makes them interesting. #steampunkchat -9:35 PM Nov 9th, 2012
DelilahSDawson OH HAI, @VonMalcolm and #steampunkchat! I spent the evening with @cmpriest and am now swooning on couches. Very steampunk. -9:35 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @thegeo Hey, you made it! Welcome aboard. #steampunkchat -9:34 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @artificer13 @JackBateswrites Except Campion Bond, of course. #steampunkchat -9:34 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FaublesFables What makes a character specifically #steampunk for me – mostly setting for me, I’ll admit, after some thought. #steampunkchat -9:34 PM Nov 9th, 2012
MichelV69 For my novels, is has more to do with a willingness to “live outside the walls” of society, vs the technology they do it with #steampunkchat -9:34 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites Characters: What about John Carpenter’s The Thing (Kurt Russell version)? FLip the time period to the Vic era? Work? #steampunkchat -9:34 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @JackBateswrites Or anti-heros. Protagonists, at the very least #MrHyde #steampunkchat #steampunkchat -9:34 PM Nov 9th, 2012
VonMalcolm #SteampunkChat RT @DelilahSDawson This room makes me swoon. For realz. http://t.co/SGuFfUwh -9:33 PM Nov 9th, 2012
MichelV69 I agree that what makes a character Steampunk has a lot to do with how you define Steampunk #steampunkchat -9:32 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites Weren’t they all ‘heroes’ from the Vic era? #steampunkchat -9:32 PM Nov 9th, 2012
thegeo I’M NOT QUITE DEAD YET #steampunkchat -9:31 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @VonMalcolm Like The League of Extraordinary Gntlmn? (Graphic novel over movie) #steampunkchat -9:31 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @VonMalcolm Your definition of steampunk. Mine is authority issues + willingness to tinker with their reality. #steampunkchat -9:30 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @FaublesFables No character exists in a vaccuum. it’s easy to forget that. #steampunkchat -9:29 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 One of my favorite plot devices is figuring out what lines my characters will not cross, and forcing them over them. #steampunkchat -9:29 PM Nov 9th, 2012
VonMalcolm MT @artificer13 Is there anything in particular that makes a character specifically #Steampunk (other than the setting)? #steampunkchat -9:29 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FaublesFables Another thing, I always, always make sure that my characters play well together (or are designed not to…) #steampunkchat -9:28 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @FaublesFables Inspiration from life, a tried and true way to go! @JackBateswrites #steampunkchat -9:28 PM Nov 9th, 2012

steamboat28 @Jenny_Schwartz @MichelV69 I’m more interested in characters’ weaknesses than their strengths; no room for heroism otherwise #steampunkchat -9:26 PM Nov 9th, 2012
MichelV69 @Jenny_Schwartz spreadsheets are your friend #steampunkchat -9:26 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites D&D characters I’ve resurrected: Tenpin, Hammerknock, Belloq the Wizard #steampunkchat -9:25 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @MichelV69 Coffee is, of course, vital! #steampunkchat -9:25 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FaublesFables @JackBateswrites That or men I have secretly crushed on…. #steampunkchat -9:25 PM Nov 9th, 2012
MichelV69 @Jenny_Schwartz …And usually how the like thier coffee … And then I worry about naming them #steampunkchat -9:25 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz LOL RT @FaublesFables: I will admit, I have taken character names from such places as the sides of semi trucks. #steampunkchat -9:25 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @MichelV69 *takes notes* I like that fatal flaw bit #steampunkchat -9:24 PM Nov 9th, 2012
VonMalcolm @Jenny_Schwartz The Steampunk Name Generator: http://t.co/FtuqcRCs #SteampunkChat -9:24 PM Nov 9th, 2012
MichelV69 @Jenny_Schwartz I define the role, belief, strength and fatal flaw of every character I introduce … #steampunkchat -9:24 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @FaublesFables Nice! #steampunkchat -9:24 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @JackBateswrites changing the setting makes such a difference. Luv that we may get her g-granddaughter #steampunkchat -9:24 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites RT @steamboat28: Years of D&D helped me a lot when it came to quickly pounding out initial character concepts (Awesome!) #steampunkchat -9:23 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 I’m interested in personae–are they built the same way as literary characters? #steampunkchat -9:23 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @Jenny_Schwartz Honestly? I started playing for the sole purpose of bein able to churn out characters quickly. lol #steampunkchat -9:23 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FaublesFables I will admit, I have taken character names from such places as the sides of semi trucks. #steampunkchat -9:23 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @Jenny_Schwartz Lily originally started as an ex special ops turned body guard- I hated what I was writing so I shifted her #steampunkchat -9:23 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @steamboat28 @MichelV69 LOL clearly I had a misspent youth – no D&D #steampunkchat #authorfail -9:22 PM Nov 9th, 2012

Jenny_Schwartz @MichelV69 Y’all sound far more org’d about character dev’t then me *sigh* #steampunkchat -9:21 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FaublesFables @Jenny_Schwartz I should say… sometimes the name informs me about the character… a.k.a. Oh, this guy’ll be a baddy… #steampunkchat -9:21 PM Nov 9th, 2012
MichelV69 @Jenny_Schwartz I try to make the name match the character’s purpose #steampunkchat -9:20 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @Jenny_Schwartz Often. My protagonist started from a name that forged his personality in my mind just by saying it aloud. #steampunkchat -9:20 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @FaublesFables I haven’t, so I was curious. Was fleshing out the character difficult/easy? #steampunkchat -9:20 PM Nov 9th, 2012
FaublesFables @Jenny_Schwartz I have done that, yes. #steampunkchat -9:19 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz Does a character ever start from a cool name? #steampunkchat -9:19 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @artificer13 My rule is I never name a character I don’t intend to fully flesh out, at least in my mind. #steampunkchat -9:17 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @Jenny_Schwartz Thank you! And thanks for the review! #steampunkchat -9:17 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites I guess sometimes I feel like I’m just writing historical fic and then think, ‘stmpnk now would be cool.’ #steampunkchat -9:17 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @JackBateswrites I think Lily’s great. I enjoyed reading her “birth” story #steampunkchat -9:16 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @artificer13 With #lilydair I started with the central character and worked stmpnk elements into it #steampunkchat -9:16 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @JackBateswrites The setting seed allows me to explore a truly multicultural setting through a goggle-lens, if you will. #steampunkchat -9:16 PM Nov 9th, 2012
TCSteampunk @MichelV69 Welcome! #steampunkchat -9:15 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @MichelV69 Welcome aboard! #Steampunkchat -9:14 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @JackBateswrites My current setting is actually a post-apoc rebuild of society by those with the skills to do so. #steampunkchat -9:14 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @steamboat28 That was what I was looking for #steampunkchat -9:14 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 Does anyone build a true storyline for personas, or a persona they might have developed in their fiction? Write themselves? #Steampunkchat -9:14 PM Nov 9th, 2012
MichelV69 Good evening all … Apologies for being late! #steampunkchat -9:14 PM Nov 9th, 2012
TCSteampunk Some of my characters have been based off real personalities I’ve come across in life #steampunkchat -9:14 PM Nov 9th, 2012
VonMalcolm Steampunk can have Flesh Out Characters? … So long if one Iron’s Out the Kinks I suppose. #SteampunkChat #ImBeingBad -9:14 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @steamboat28 Could you give an example of setting? #steampunkchat -9:14 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @steamboat28 Works for me! I’m huge on setting. It’s like a major character in my stories #steampunkchat -9:13 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @JackBateswrites I’m exploring territorialism and avarice through the eyes of an airship captain, so anything goes. #steampunkchat -9:13 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @JackBateswrites Ah, gotcha. Yeah, for me, historical/social setting #steampunkchat -9:13 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @Jenny_Schwartz Characters came from the setting, plot came from the characters being themselves. #steampunkchat -9:12 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites I guess I’m asking what context of issues. Historical? Character based? Technology based? #steampunkchat -9:12 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @steamboat28 So characters emerged from the plot? #steampunkchat -9:11 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @JackBateswrites steampunk gives space to explore issues in less threatening way, so starting with issues works for me #steampunkchat -9:11 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @Jenny_Schwartz In my current work, I started with a set of nested conflicts, each causing another, &my chars wrote the rest #steampunkchat -9:10 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @Jenny_Schwartz Because of the historical background? #steampunkchat -9:10 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @steamboat28 LOL, By “well-rounded” I thought you meant “Balanced” instead of “Fleshed-out”. #Doh! #Steampunkchat -9:08 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @TCSteampunk @steamboat28 The moral conflicts are fascinating. #steampunkchat -9:08 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @steamboat28 So what do you usu start with? #steampunkchat -9:08 PM Nov 9th, 2012
TCSteampunk @steamboat28 @Jenny_Schwartz I would agree. It doesn’t always have to be a literal fight… sometimes it’s moral #steampunkchat -9:08 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @Jenny_Schwartz Conflict is often the second step in character creation for me. Sometimes, the first. #steampunkchat -9:08 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites I think- like scifi- stmpnk opens the door for some really awesome villains #steampunkchat -9:07 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @steamboat28 So starting them in conflict seems an interesting place, lots of stories… #steampunkchat -9:07 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @artificer13 Even madmen have origins. It’s learning what makes them mad that makes them such gripping characters. #steampunkchat -9:07 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz @steamboat28 I’ve been thinking about it, cos it’s hard to work out where to start a character #steampunkchat -9:07 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @VonMalcolm LOL! Perhaps they could fill his head with a Babbage Engine instead of whatever is in there now. #Steampunkchat -9:06 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 @Jenny_Schwartz I think everyone is, in some sense. Almost everyone has a struggle to make their own path. #steampunkchat -9:06 PM Nov 9th, 2012

VonMalcolm @artificer13 Oh God, ‘The Situation’ Steampunked… #Sorry #SteampunkChat -9:05 PM Nov 9th, 2012
artificer13 @steamboat28 What about characters that are extreme/fixated (or possibly mad)? #Steampunkchat -9:05 PM Nov 9th, 2012
JackBateswrites @TCSteampunk I’m actually thinking of getting a vendor’s table to hawk my books #steampunkchat -9:05 PM Nov 9th, 2012
Jenny_Schwartz Does a strong steampunk character have to be fighting something in their society? #steampunkchat -9:05 PM Nov 9th, 2012
steamboat28 I think it’s mostly a matter of a well-rounded personality; the rest will follow. #steampunkchat -9:03 PM Nov 9th, 2012
