Got page 10 of the re-release of ForgeFyre up on the forum:
@midgephoto I read and appreciated all three novels. But I think I enjoyed The Star Fraction the most. I'm really getting into near-future, mostly Earth-bound stories at present. You could even see that book as proto-solarpunk.

Macleod, Stross, and the late Banks sitting in the pub might have been a good table to overhear.

I like Macleod's Engines of Light Trilogy. A lot.
#solarpunk seems to be a long way behind #cyberpunk and #steampunk and perhaps other names would do as well. I suppose #Neuromancer was long enough ago that electricity just comes out of the wall.

There's a third #skypirate film in this proto- #steampunk trilogy called The Arial Anarchists, but it has been lost for around 100 years.
It's based on a book, though. The book is called Hartmann, the Anarchist; Or, The Doom of the Great City by E. Douglas Fawcett
That's on PG and Librevox. I haven't read it. I might not ever read it. Who knows?
But if you wanted to watch a 115 year old science fiction film about sky pirates... well, go watch The Pirates of 1920, it's a much better movie than The Airship Destroyer.
But if you wanted to watch a Second 115 year old film about #skypirates... Go watch The Aerial Submarine, it's a much better film than The Airship Destroyer.
But if you wanted to watch a THIRD 115 year old film about #airship pirates... well, The Airship Destroyer is now available.
Now I'm back from travels, starting updates on ForgeFyre again (a folklorey/clockpunk/gothic multimedia story I wrote two chapters of along with an an artist called Hannah Milburn some years ago - now reposting them on a forum so they're somewhere for someone to read).
Page 9 is now up, this one is mostly an audio update:

Seeing a lot of analysis about new legislation saying the US is trying to power 21st century industries with 19th century energy sources and... Nah. #Steampunk might be a bit hackneyed by now but it's not so gone that the theocracy can pull off leather top hats.
