TrunkPunk – Add clockworks and a touch of brass (or the ilk) to any unsold “trunk” story you might have. Send it off to the latest *punk revival anthology. Voila.

Climatepunk: after the charge from Kim Stanley Robinson that all future scenarios should include a nod to climate change, I think we’ll see a dramatic shift away from ANY other probably science fiction futures that don’t include a drastic change in climate, and that for the next ten years it will be called Climatepunk.

After ten years, though, this same period will be called HadNoClueWhatReallyWouldHappenpunk for our inability and wild speculation of what climate change would do or how much it would change society. The next ten years then would be called Hindsightpunk.

Climatepunk will also be the first bridge genre, since it will affect the Literary world as well. Which means all genres would merge at one moment in time until science fiction figured out how to switch tracks from thinking of the way we’ve been thinking–of an Earth pretty much as we liked it but advanced–to one that was radically, radically different. Then, science fiction will begin again, predicting from a new data set.

Aether indeed! http://mbranesf.blogspot.com/2009/10/aether-age-guidelines-posted.html

Actually our new project’s alternate history lends itself quite well to the steam and clock ethos.

No more punks! I’m tired of them. And now we’re just creating them out of the blue? It’s ridiculous. We’ve got cyberpunk and we’ve got steampunk. Let’s end it there.

how about Woodpunk: read all about the daring exploits of a master carpenter and his ragtag team of apprentices as they attempt to build the greatest armoire in all of Chiseltown, while beset of all sides by the evil FurnitureBots who seek to undermine their livelihood by streamlining production and reducing cost by using cheap MDF (Mind-Dimming Fiberboard) instead of the good living Oak of Virtue.

You all have made my holiday card list. Genius. You are geniuses.

Rachel–have you read Cat’s new collection?

Mark, I would love to see that book. Go, man! You have 25 days left!

Mark B. I think I love punkpunk.
