So this is a wild veering-off from the first AU prompt, but I hope you like. No Esca yet in this sample :P ( ... )

Oh, I love when steampunk has a healthy dose of "punk" in it: grime, soot, social inequalities, industrial revolution in working :D
It's an impressive word you're constructing here, can we have more?

It wouldnt be intresting without it :)

IDK if you mean more samples or more in the long run? I've only written up to marcus arriving at his uncles house and his leg acting up, and some raandom snippets from later on in the narrative as they came to me, but its shaping up to be LOOOONG. too bad I missed the big bang sign ups XD

Well, sometimes you've got only gentlemen adventurers and whitewashed version of history - I like yours better :D
I'd like to see what happens next, maybe then we'll convince you to continue ;D

What do you mean "missed"? They're open till September 15th!

well, I wanted to make it futuristic rather than historic. Not that I have anything against historic stuff (obviously) but it fits the prompt better and gives me more freedom to play around with world building :)

oh. OH. ....I read that as August 15. *headdesk*

The're often futuristic too - just not progressive :D

That was the opening date - go and sign up!

Well, I can offer my support, ask around if I'm worth trusting :)

ahahahah you are not in fact worth trusting. I would trust you with a used tissue.

just kidding :P :P

you're very trustworthy.

and I'm here too! To help, encourage, molest. Though even less trustworthy.

You should have said "yes, she's an expert in the field and and awesome wall to bounce ideas off" :P

my bad. i fail at the rhetorics of the matter.

a wall? one cannot want to make out with a wall!!!

but yes! she is she is the expert in the field and a total pimp.

Better now :] Especially the pimp thing, I take my duties very seriously :P

And not everyone is obliged to want to make out with me :D

Thank you both! If anyones intrested I will probably need a beta? I've never used one before o_0 though given the number of silly mistakes and run on sentences in my writing, i probably could use a helping hand XD

I'm good with narrative analysis and stuff, but I'm shit with language (not a native speaker), but I have someone who can be convinced to take care of this part :P

mercury_alice August 29 2011, 23:27:52 UTC
sounds good :)
(I cant beleive you're not a native speaker, your language is flawless. When I think of my own skills with foreign languages... ;_;)

Great ;) Let us know how and when we can help then ;)

(Thanks ;) But I've been learning it for some 2/3rds of my life, so it's not such a big deal, I suppose ;P)
