SteamPink: Welcome

SteamPink week
June 4-12, 2010
a virtual event
SteamPink (my definition) = female heroine stories with romance, adventure or mystery in a steampunk world

But what is steampunk?

cogs, corsets, goggles, gadgets, gizmos, steam powered weaponry, rebels, villains, heroes, and more

as you join in this week's events you will see the many faces of a steampunk world

~*~
Welcome!
The day has finally arrived and the Devonian Express has pulled into the train station ready to take passengers on a journey from the Highlands of Scotland to London.

Final destination for Society members with tickets - the World's Fair!

Pass your luggage to the closest porter and hop on the train.

Have your tickets at the ready. If you don't have a ticket, hop on anyway. All are welcome.
