Flintpunk: Spread the Meme

[pfarley]

Now that Steampunk is passe, I'm looking to get the jump on the next retro-slipstream novelty: FLINTPUNK. But before I develop any new creative properties, it's only right to look back and give a shout-out to those early pioneers:

I think that the flintpunkiest is Tahra in the poster for the movie "Teenage Cavegirl".

But I tend to look outside of movies so the overall flintpunk winner for me is Dawn in the series "Dawn of Time".

Saw "Quest for Fire" as a kid... No, really... Guess my parents were taking me to a movie without the occult, slashers or naked chicks... Hehehe

what are we then, Peak Oil Punk ?

I was trying to figure out what period steampunk actually covers. I guess it's just retro-futuristic neo-Victorianism, so that would be about 1830-1900. I'm not sure "dieselpunk" is really a legitimate concept, I mean trains and ships are diesel-powered TODAY. I was also trying to think of what would come just BEFORE steampunk. There were no trains before steam, but before steamships there were ...

"Sailpunk"?

Well, we all know the other word for "sailpunks," of course.

Are there sci-fi pirate stories?

Who is more Flintpunk

AYLA!

There was just something about that novel that made me get into it, even before Darryl Hannah made the film. When the film came out liked it also. Don't care about the "Unrealistic" liked it anyway.

Loved all of those novels in that series; knew they were all "Not realistic" to the actual time period, but hey it's called "fiction" and why complain about reality if the novel is dragging you into the characters and making them seem real.
