Steam . . . Puzzled . . . Punk

As an aspiring writer, one of the many must-dos of self-promotion is setting up an author profile.  Among other things, from a drop-down list, you select the genres you write.  Easy-peasy.  For moi, it’s mystery.  But what the <bleep> is this—steampunk?  Surely they jest.  Surely it’s a typo.

Surely . . . it exists.  Per Wikipedia, steampunk is “a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery”.  Who knew?  Apparently, not clueless l’il ol’ me.

First note to self: find time to seek out the world and all that transpires within.

Second note to self: read some <bleeping> steampunk!
