Had half an idea while sitting on the steampunk panel at Arisia. 

I also commented -- we were talking about the Edisonade and how steampunk brought that back.  I commented that there were other Victorian genres that weren't coming into use in steampunk.  Like the Ruritanian romance.  (Well, maybe you could argue that Girl Genius has a touch of the Ruritanian romance about it -- but only a touch.)

Am now outlining a steampunk Ruritanian romance.  At least it's a Ruritanian romance now.  Who knows what will happen by the time I get to the end?

A steampunk Ruritanian romance should have a swordfight on a Zeppelin.

No such plans at the moment. Then I'm still outlining it -- but at the moment, it looks like interesting things with trains are more likely.

I adore the idea of steampunk Ruritanian romance.

I hope the story will live up to your wildest dreams. . . .

When can I buy it!?!

Once I've outlined, written, put through the writers' group, revised, and above all else SOLD it.

In other words, if you hold your breath waiting, you will turn a very pretty shade of blue.

Patience is the name of the writing game.
