| User: | gears_and_steam (1521460) Dreams of Gears and Steam
A steampunk community for sharing ideas, news, links and images |
|
| Theme: | Steampunk and steampunk-relevant art, news, and discussion. | |
| About: | "Dreams of Gears and Steam" is a community for exploring the steampunk and industrial fantasy genres. We are not limited to just industrial Victorian England-based inspirations. Other places and times are welcome as well, in addition to purely fictional industrial fantasy. Images of 17th-century Italian astrolabes, an article about gun manufacture in Meiji Japan, a review of a new book on Victorian fashion, your impressions of a steampunk RPG, a discussion of the airships in Final Fantasy--all are welcome. Even non-steampunk works that feature mechanical technology are fine ("Spirited Away's" bath system, for example). Trolls will be banned. Event promotion rules: You may post no more often than once a month. If there is a large accompanying image (more than 400 x 400 pixels), it must be lj-cut. If it is smaller, or if it is lengthy text, you can post without a cut tag the FIRST time you post it. After that, it must be behind a cut tag. We do welcome event posts, but they do not contribute much in terms of interest or discussion, and are usually geographically limited--hence the restrictions. Thanks. (Updated July 29, 2006) Image-posting rules: You may post one image of under 100 KB or 400 x 400 pixels without a cut-tag, but any more than that, or anything really large should be behind a cut-tag. Any nudity must also be behind an LJ-cut, with a description/warning. Be considerate! (Updated 21 April 2007) Article-posting rules: Providing a link to an article is fine, but a short description is even better. If you want to post the whole thing, put in a cut-tag after the first paragraph or two. Fiction-posting rules: Put in a cut-tag after the first paragraph or two. Also, it's advisable to make your post friends-only (i.e., comm. members only) to avoid copyright issues. Language rule: The language of this community is English. Posts in other languages are OK, but a summary in English is appreciated. Making a cut tag: Immediately before what you want to cut, type < LJ-CUT TEXT="Blah blah blah" > but remove the spaces after the < and before the > Immediately after what you want to cut, type < /LJ-CUT > but again, remove the spaces. Easy!
