Eastern Seaboard Cons in America
I'm posting this right now for the soul reason that I was looking at all the great conventions out there and the first thought that popped into my head is "Why the truck are all the great conventions on the West Coast!?!?" So to remedy this, my question is as follows: Does anyone have any idea if their are any swingin' cons on the East Coast that one could go to? Preferably something like steam punk cons, or even really good comic cons. The reason I'm asking this is no way on earth do I just…See More

Hello all, after being inspired by Zenn, I decided to post a forum topic here with a collection of all my airplanes that I have built and posted on the web, so I hope you enjoy them! First off, my very first plane, the Crimson Viper! This bird has long since been retired and gone to that hangar in the sky. Next up the Night Striker! This was my second attempt at a delta wing, but the…See More

Western Pennsylvania Diesels
I do not know if this is the right place for this, but lately I have become rather tired of talking about dieselpunk to my regular group of friends and being looked at as if I had three heads, if not also throwing a few extra limbs and possibly a singing monkey/squid combination into the mix! However, as a result I have actually started looking for people in my area who would be interested in starting to meet as a group, possibly in Pittsburgh or somewhere else, just for the sake of hanging…See More

The Saunders-Roe Princess Flying Boats
I was not aware if anyone had ever shared this video before, but I found it on YouTube while browsing for other flying boats. I thought I would share it here as it is a fascinating 1940's era plane, and one of the biggest flying boats ever built! Capable of speeds up to 500 miles per hour, and able to carry 200 troops over 3,000 miles, it was said that these three monstrous beauties would be able to deliver the same amount of troops in a year as nine of their counterparts! I hope you all enjoy…See More

Hello Jacob,
I am needing Beta readers for my novel to make extra sure it is ready for release. I would love to have your feedback if you are interested. While the book is not heavy with dieselpunk elements (I believe the next one will be more so), it is set in the era. I posted a bit more description here:
http://www.dieselpunks.org/forum/topics/need-beta-readers
It is and will be ebook only, so I understand that will be a limiting factor for some. No worries either way.
Thanks! I'm prepping to self-publish in ebook form this summer. Testing the waters with the whole new self-pub world to see if I can work it. I'm hoping that the tight, friendly nature of the dieselpunk community will work well with self-publishing. Although I am only guessing as to what percentage reads electronically.
I am always open for ideas, and advice.
I haven't dug around much in the storytellers group here yet, but thinks I should.
Are you working on anything at the moment?
