The Steampunk Boiler Room

I've been remiss,
Since releasing the Boiler Rooms Newsletter last year, I always intended to post the comments I received. Well, here I am in an organisational mood.

They'll be in no particular order, just as I find them in my inbox.

Submissions are open for the Clockwork Crier #2. In particular, articles on writing steam punk, as alluded to in this first comment, would be gratefully received. Perhaps on tone?

"I really enjoyed The Clockwork Crier - many thanks! I'll definitely be joining the Steampunk group.

My main suggestion, given that this is a newsletter on the writing.com website, is that the feature article in each issue should be clearly related back to the issue of writing steampunk stories. The feature article in this issue is about a steampunk tabletop gaming system. It is clear to me that playing such a game can be helpful to generating ideas for steampunk stories, but the article itself does not make this link, other than alluding briefly to it in the first couple of paragraphs. I think it would have really increased the relevance of the article if it had ended with a final paragraph that discussed how playing this game can be a creative aid to steampunk writers in helping them to come up with character and plot ideas for future stories.

Otherwise, thanks for a really interesting newsletter. I look forward to seeing more of them!

Cheers,
Patrick.
