The concept pleases me, but I will have to read it to give you any analysis of the quality, save that "__________ Romance" is often many steps down from the genre it is a deviation from.

I found the male character very unbelievable as far as a man goes, but the overall fascination with goggles was quite hilarious (I will not spoil it but it is quite a funny interaction between Captain Pye and Mr. Fletcher). As I have been told by my female counter part who is an authority of MacAlister she normally does not write from a male so this may explain the lack of believability.
Over all the genera was quite believable one of the engineers tells the male character about breaking up of quarks (a type of fusion) which is how they are able to fly their ships. Their weapons also work via this fusion.
I would recommend it, but I would skim the harlequin features MacAlister peppers though out the book.

Gentlemen, it has been suggested that I ask of the /s/ community what food they feel best reflects this epoch and general ethos.

The image I post is one of faggots - excuse the wordplay. It is a delicious English meal and one which I feel faithfully represents the thoughts and ideas behind this era - delicious, yet aesthetically pleasing.

What is that made of exactly? I'm in a Culinary Program, and this may be the beginnings of a paper.

>> No.589  

Preserved is Practical!

>> No.596  

I must say I think fish and chips would make a splendid meal. Not only is it nutritious and tasty, it could be very easily cooked in an airship galley (requires boiling lard or vegetable oils, which is extremely easy to do, the fish doesn't have to be fresh out of the sea, and the spuds can be lower grade or unusually shaped).

While it would not make the best food for a lone explorer, or a small team, as long as one or more chefs were available (i.e. on a larger airship) then this meal would be perfect.

>> No.597  

Nutritious?
Dude... It's all rank and fatty and totally, totally heart attack inducing.
But i guess it is really easy to make, and VERY no-frills, which i guess totally fits the steampunk thing.
So i find myself agreeing with you, sir.

>> No.607  

It would not be heart-attack inducing in the age of steam, where physical exertion would play a significant part of anybody's day.

The meal itself is not unduly fatty anyway - a decent faggot is predominantly protein, with fatty streaks adding to the flavour and texture.

I shall use this opportunity to make or procure one, and disassemble it with photographs in order to persuade you chaps that this is indeed a meal fit for the world of steam.

I shall not pretend that this is not an excuse to indulge in deliciousness.

You mean you're not taking a few live animals with you on your journey, for food, utility, and breeding for more food?

Not exactly.
On a cramped, highly maneuverable airship built for escaping people i've pissed off, i'm not sure i'll have the space. I've always just considered something small, I'll post my plans for the deck layout some time.
i'd even question my ability for cooking meals beyond putting a tin on a small stove.
I'd say that i think it's worrying that i've thought this much into it, but amone other /s/teampunks, i really don't think that this is that strange lol.

Perhaps on a large commercial airship, built for a member of the arisocracy or gentry the cultivation of livestick would be completely sensible, but for an adventuring rogue with limited funds, and ability for storage i think perhaps my arguments have been based on a smaller scale than others have.

I want to condivide with you this beautiful Italian song, for I think it incarnates the steampunk essence, namely steam and anarchy.

It is inspired by the Italian Anarchist Fireman Pietro Rigosi

La Locomotiva

Non so che viso avesse, neppure come si chiamava
con che voce parlasse, con quale voce poi cantava
quanti anni avesse visto allora, di che colore i suoi capelli
ma nella fantasia ho l'immagine sua,
gli eroi son tutti giovani e belli,
gli eroi son tutti giovani e belli,
gli eroi son tutti giovani e belli.

Conosco invece l'epoca dei fatti, qual'era il suo mestiere:
i primi anni del secolo, macchinista, ferroviere,
i tempi in cui si cominciava la guerra santa dei pezzenti
sembrava il treno anch'esso un mito di progresso,
lanciato sopra i continenti,

THE STEAM ENGINE

How was his face like, what was his name, still I don’t know,
His voice when speakin’, his voice when singin’, I don’t know
What was his age at that time, what was the colour of his hair
But his image can I figure in my mind,
All heroes are so young and handsome,
All heroes are so young and handsome,
All heroes are so young and handsome!

Yet I know when all this id did happen, what was his job,
The first year of this cent’ry, a steam engine driver,
The years when ‘twas beginnin’ the holy war of the poor,
The train too seem’d to be the image of progress
Speeding along the whole world,

Wow... I'm really impressed.
If i wasn't supposed to be writing a geological field report right now, i'd take a proper look, but from my quick glance, fantastic.
I'll take a proper look in a day or so, and post again :)

My initial reaction is certainly one of very pleasant surprise, I shall have to check on it properly tomorrow.

Also, Captain Octavius, are you in fact by any chance a masque for the mysterious and elusive Captain Chazwick of Rotterdam?
