The Library of Science Fiction & Fantasy Press presents Clockwork Chaos: A Steampunk Anthology edited by Neal Levin Seeking original steampunk stories. While the steampunk genre has taken on all variety of different connotations we are looking for stories set in the victorian era. This means that you should think League of Extraordinary Gentleman or The Wild, Wild West and not the possible steampunk elements in the TV show Firefly. Stories can be from a global scale to a small localized event. A Vernian tale of exploration is highly welcomed. A touch of historical knowledge and technological wonderment will do you good. Gadgets and a new alternative history version will win out over an overthought victorian romance. With these examples in mind, give us your best and most unique stories within this genre. Please do not make references to or use characters from other known literary sources unless you are using alternative history references to real life people. MANUSCRIPT FORMAT Standard manuscript format (http://www.shunn.net/format/story.html) paying particular attention to these changes/points: Rich Text Format only Courier font - size 12 Indent paragraphs with one press of the Tab button Double space the entire manuscript Use italics - do not underline Place your contact information on the first page, in the upper left corner - name, address, phone number, and email In the upper right corner please put the approx word count Please include your name, address, phone, number and email on the title page with the word count.
