While I am trying...

...to come up with ways to bash up a Photoshop library website that looks like it's customized for a specific person, I'm poking at the steampunk generator. It *still* produces more stories I want to read than any other generator I've done.

The text starts as a caring mentor encounters da Vinci-inspired technology while in the Congo. The overall narrative is a comedy of errors.

This narrative contains liege/lord dynamics. It starts in a museum with an androgynous boy. The antagonist is a Briton and the plot involves elements like the line of a man's jaw and a fountain in a deserted plaza.

This story begins as it ends, with a kick-ass woman. In a factory for producing automata, a cold and deadly courtesan and an androgynous boy struggle against the odds and encounter pistons, references to the Classics, and a coward who finds courage who has black leather gloves. The text features navy/pirate conflicts.

It begins with a carny in the dark. This person meets a gentlewoman scholar and together they encounter a duel of wits and swords and obedience. The story winds up in a post office and features tobacco. The overall narrative is about what happens after the revolution.


And one especially for [livejournal.com profile] yhlee:

A team of explorers consisting of a curate, a crazy tinker, an Australian, a resourceful sidekick, and a rebel discover an artifact from a brothel. Complications ensue involving rescuing someone from a cruel family, isolation, and a siege engine.

Everything is better with seige engines and automata factories!

That reminds me! Inuit snow goggles (http://www.civilization.ca/cmc/exhibitions/aborig/iqqaipaa/cultur-e.shtml) on this page, linked via Racialicious. Are they steampunky or what?
