Welcome to Gears & Glory, the first Asylum for Steampunk enthusiasts and addicts. Anything and everything about Steampunk is allowed in here. We love a good bit of victorian history or even a piece of fiction. Links to fun tidbits and toys are well recieved and greedily gobbled up, so please do. And if you happen to cosplay Steampunk, again, yes please. Pictures are pretty and make everyones day.

Not to start all of you off with some fun links from your Asylum Warden, here are some awesome Steampunk websites to browse.

Brass Goggles A wonderful UK web blog with a cacophony of Steampunk goodies.

Aether Emporium Another wonderful Steampunk website and directory of Steampunk concerned websites.

Fanplusfriend A Gothic Lolita online clothing store that carries Victorian Era inspired pieces, even some Steampunk pretty pieces. All the pieces are hand made upon order too which adds to the giddy goodness of it.

Abney Park An honest to gods Steampunk band. Check out their kick ass site, it's very fun.

Have fun, join up and help spread the delightful genre.

Your Mod,
Penelope Stanhope

The redoubtable Miss Stanhope has asked me to contribute a post or two to this august enclave, and I feel it fitting to be contrary, and start with something (or, rather, someone) only incidentally steampunk.

Behold, the wonder and the glory that is the effervescent Lord Whimsy! Here is a man we can admire, despite the lack of steam-powered geegaws.

Originally reported news on Brass Goggles , A Gentlemen's Duel is a 8 minute, animated Steampunk romp. Now I have seen this short film, when Brass Goggles was hosting it, but unfortunately it was pulled from youtube by the animation studio.

But we can still hope to see it soon when it comes out on dvd and covet the beautiful trailer.

A Gentlemen's Duel, by Blur. Enjoy!
