I grew up reading classic science fiction and fantasy cuz of my dad. He was a Sci-Fi/Fantasy kid growing up in the 60's with the Twilight Zone, Dungeons and Dragons, War of the Worlds radio broadcast, and Lord of the Rings, so I was raised in that kind of environment. :3
I think the actual genre "Steampunk" came on my radar in college though. I started making friends who were interested in Sci-Fi, Pulp, B-Movies, Victoriana, and DIY projects (among other things). XD
I came to love 19th century British art after taking art history classes on in college.
One of my friends showed me Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.
About half a year ago I read an article about Steampunk, and I thought to myself, "That's it! That is a word that can describe my interests." cool

I have always loved the style. It must have been an innate characteristic because I've always been fascinated by steampunk as far as I can remember. I believe I found out what it was actually called either through Gaia or my Lolita-craze and well, the rest is history.
I'm going slightly mad.

I didn't learn that what I liked had a name or that it was categorized until about a month ago when one of my friends said... "Uh dude... That's steampunk." I started liking it when I came across movies like Brazil, Metropolis, Wild Wild West, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and The City of Lost Children. As I started getting more into anime I found some others like: Steamboy, Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle, and Full Metal Alchemist. I love books by Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. It was kind of awesome when I got home after my friend said it was Steampunk and started doing some research on it. It was indeed something I liked and I was kind of glad he told me otherwise I would have never found communities such as these or any of the nifty how-to tutorials floating around the net.

Might I recommend a lesser know nanime called Steam Detectives

Steam powered robot action, car chases, and good old fashioned detective stories.

-♪ Surprisingly, it was my Mum who got me into it by showing me the Brass Goggles website a while back. ♪- -♪ Unfortunately I forgot about it. Then I started to crave it. xD ♪- -♪ Now I'm painting cigar boxes bronze, planning how to change a Canadian Airforce flight suit into a very zippered jacket, and trying to save for some brass goggles. ♪-

Well, I dunno, I've always felt a bit nostalgic for the moral values of the Victorian Era and I thought that their fashion sense was particularily interesting. I also had Rise of Legends for a long time, the Vinci was my favorite nation, then I saw this dude's sig, and I Wikied Steampunk and here I am!

Hello there, well what made me Steampunk. I think its that I have a
fascination in most passing fads you know, I mean i have been with
gaia for quite some time now. I always seem to become caught up in
whatever the underlaying cool thing is. When it was scene avatars I was
there when it was colour layering I was there. n.n So, there is a little snippet
into the workings of a young English lad Billy Purkiss.

Well, to be honest it was Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. That was the first time that I can recall seeing sky pirates and airships, and as I've always been fascinated by piracy, I was hooked. I started googling the like, and came across steampunk, and I haven't turned back since.

I'm just a slacker right now, Untill I'm living on my own, and have a steady income will I actually aim to steampunk.
But it would be it's unick style it has, where you must constructed your own style of steampunks, not just go to a fashion store. the more authentic the materials the better.

The desire and need to try and do something new and creative. To test my creativity and to have fun with my hands.
