Pray tell what is the difference between Anachronism and Victorian Steampunk?
It's not so much a matter of "difference" as it is a matter of "hierarchy." Victorian Steampunk is more like a subcategory of Anachronism. Thus, Victorian Steampunk IS Anachronism, but Anachronism isn't always Victorian Steampunk.
Anachronism is actually a very, very general term for anything that is out of place in a timeline. Any work of fiction -- or possibly even a mistake in a non-fiction work -- could mention something anachronistically. For example, if a novel were set in the USA in 1882, and a character sees a Model-T Ford, that would be anachronism simply because the Model T wasn't introduced (in reality) until 1908.
In terms of the guild, though, Anachronism is "where" we are. And that's really up to the Captain's interpretations, there.
