Gaslamp Writer’s Ring

[Pat Hauldren]

Would you explain “gaslamp” for us? I think I know what you mean, just double checking.

Thanks
Pat

I didn’t watch the video, but I really meant gaslamp stories. Here’s what Wikipedia says.

“<b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Gaslamp fantasy (also known as <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>gaslight fantasy or <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>gaslight romance) is a subgenre of both fantasy and historical fiction. Generally speaking, this particular realm of fantasy employs either a Victorian or Edwardian setting.”

Time frame isn’t quite so important as is the attitude and manipulation.

Larian, I just joined Apex a few minutes ago. I’m writing the second book in a steampunk/time travel YA series–similar enough to be a cousin of Gaslamp. My series is set in 1890, Los Angeles, and although, not as Sherlock Holmesian as the Mina Holmes and Evaline Stoker series, similar. Have you started a group or found other interested writers?
