Steampunk?

[meganbmoore]

 Watching Last Exile made me realize that, though I dislike most mecha, I like most steampunk that I've encountered(I think Steamboy is the only exception, off the top of my head...there are likely others if I think about it, though...I just try not to dwell on things I don't care for) but don't seem to run across it a lot, even though I know there's a lot out there..

Anyone want to rec me steampunk or gaslight romances, be they anime, manga or books?  (And tell me if it's available in the US)

The only Torchwood I've seen is a handful of downloaded episodes... it's never been shown here (I'm of the firm belief that the TV station that bought it, only bought it so that Prime (which shows Doctor Who) couldn't get it).

I must be woefully behind; I didn't even know Ianto was over his HUGE SPOILER.

Is that a Tom Lehrer quote in your icon? Because if it isn't, it's something he should have been the one to think up...

Who needs a hobby like tennis or philately? I've got a hobby, rereading Lady Chatterly...

They started dropping Jack/Ianto hints in S1, several episodes after the HUGE SPOILER if you're thinking of the one I'm thinking of (early in the first season, another blatant Who crossover?); but the really blatant stuff, the on-screen snogs and verbal admissions, are all S2.

And yes, that's classic Lehrer, well-spotted!

Lehrer fans - they're everywhere! I think smilla and I first bonded over that icon - Lehrer and Gojyo make a great combo.
