New: Genre Tropes

Ottens

I've added a new tag to organize what I call "genre tropes".

These are themes or ideas that regularly appear in steam- and dieselpunk fiction.

So far, I have:

- Nazis in Antarctica
- Nazis on the Moon
- Art Deco
- The Shadow of Nazi Aesthetics
- Nazi Supersoldiers
- Victorientalism
- African Adventures

A disproportionate amount of Nazi stuff... But then, this is dieselpunk.

I'm working on:

- Big trains in the snow
- War airships
- Strange aircraft of the Third Reich
- Lost civilizations

These are interesting and wonderful subjects. Thank you, sir! I love Art Deco!

Rather Jugendstil than Art Deco. As a symbol of the symbiosis of nature and technics.

Other tropes:
- certain historical persons that show up, Lovelace, Tesla and the likes.
- sex robots in feminism
- automatons (giant)
- cyborgs, or party cyborgs. People who are not entierly human
- Mars colony

Yaghish, per your recommendation, I've also started a very early draft called "Mysteries of Mars" and I'm working on a "Soviet Union in Space" story that will feature, among other things, the Soviet colonization of Mars.
