Dunno if this is allowed... (obligatory post removal if in violation of the rules disclaimer goes here)
Steampunk! Airships! Top Hats! Petticoats! Mad Scientists!
Cyberpunk! Computers! Hackers! Keyboards!
Basically, out of lack of any decent imageboards (or even image archives) for the first two categories, I've endeavoured to create a little corner of the web to harbor such interests. Steamchan is that little corner, (shameless pimping nonwithstanding).
Also comes with a Wank board for the mousies to take refuge in for the times that they get too naughty, and mouse access to f_w, etc, is cut off.
1:22PM - New Anne of Green Gables book stirs debate
To mark the centennial of Lucy Maud Montgomery's 1908 original novel, Penguin books commissioned Canadian author Budge Wilson of Nova Scotia - the province close to Prince Edward Island where Green Gables was situated - to write the new book, titled "Before Green Gables".
Montgomery's heirs authorized Penguin to produce the prequel, which is based on information about Anne from the 1908 novel.
Wilson, when first approached by Penguin, did not want to write the book. But after re-reading the Anne series she said she became totally bewitched by her character, much more so than she had been as a child.
"I am still vaguely troubled by the idea that L.M. Montgomery would perhaps not want this done," she said in an interview.
...Wilson, who has written 32 books, said she realized that when she embarked on the project "there would be a good chance I would be torn apart by the critics and the Anne lovers."
"A lot of people have told me they've done a lot of crying and I am delighted," Wilson said.
