I have been pondering something like this myself, to get slightly off-topic: aquiring Lindens while remaining in a Steampunk environment.
I have considered story telling, writing for publications, but are there any other ways to make Lindens in and…

- What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
- I love Steampunk, and historical re-enactments, especially the Victorian/Early-Industrial era. I am passionate about museums, the arts/cultural events, anthropology/history, Ancient Egypt, gravestone preservation, mythology and folklore, occult and paranormal subjects, Cthulhu Mythos, forensic anthropology, archaeological mysteries, Asia, etc. I would be glad to offer help to any related cause/project (museums, arts, etc). Please ask, if I can, I will.
- Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
- In SL I'm an explorer, and inventor. In RL I'm a grad student in Museum Studies (virtual/digital cultural heritage and related policy) and I'm on the Board of Directors at a Museum. I also design and create jewelry, much of which is Steampunk-inspired! I do a lot of charity work, also. I have a fair amount of experience roleplaying, but have not had much opportunity here in SL yet.
Steampunk vs Cyberpunk
If you take the anti-authoritarian/anti-establishment attitude of ‘punk’ and combine it with either futurism or Neo-Victorianism, I believe that’s where you can start defining these two genres. Both evolve out of the mechanistic oppression of their times, and reflect the zeitgeists of the eras, yet both are also relevant to our dystopian, Machiavellian current times, and express the subconscious anxiety of man’s changing relationship with machines. The result is synthetic nostalgia for a past that never was and the future that probably never will be.
Unfortunately both have suffered the same fate as many other genres once popular culture gets a hold of them: commercialism - the commodification of everything.
