Hey everyone,It's been a long time since I was around. Been distracted, been busy, and sadly despite my deadline getting near to publish my novel, I've only restarted work in earnest recently (I'm 24K words in, but the story is far from over), I might not be finished by the mid-May deadline, but I'll do my best.In any case, I found something on youtube that I thought you guys might be interested in.…See More

http://www.cracked.com/blog/15-old-photographs-that-prove-world-used-to-be-insane/Specifically I'm referring to number 2. Those were from the 1920's, and I'm not gonna lie, We need to bring those old mugshot styles back... or make them illegal since they look so badass they'll probably cause a soar in crime just so people can get photographed like that!But seriously, I really…See More

This left me with the problem of still not finding any complete movie serials, until now. I decided to share these discoveries with you guys here.…See More

Hi all.A while ago I made a thread about Dieselpunk novels and to plug my own novel that I'm writing (which I would be writing more of if I hadn't been contracted to write a how-to book), and when thinking over the setting I've created. Just for a ref, I'll link my other discussion.http://www.dieselpunks.org/forum/topics/dieselpunk-novels-my-projectThat being said, the timeline of the war I've…See More

Hello fellow dieselheads,Though I've always had ideas and a love for things that we would call dieselpunk, I didn't realize there was an entire community devoted to it, and when I learned about it a few years ago, I was instantly sucked into it.I love the whole idea, the concepts, the clothing, the machinery, the adventurous themes and whatnot. And while I've seen a lot of dieselpunk art (and yet not enough), I haven't really heard or seen much dieselpunk novels out there. Does anyone have any…See More
