I'd guess that the steampunk time travel submarine was really a sideways-in-time traveller.

2024-06-26 18:53:31 +0000 UTCI vibe with Liz on this stance more than I'm actually comfortable with. A couple of years ago, I read a romance novel with the name Adventures in Time, which had as the story hook regular time travel between the 18th century and 20th century, where the protagonists went forward in time (using their steampunk time machine, built into a steampunk submarine) to gather plant life that was all but extinct in the 18th century. Plus, there was fuckin'. But what really threw me out of the story was that in the 18th century, everyone with any money had flying beetle-like steampunk cars and there were steampunk automata in law enforcement, and it was really cool. In the 20th century ... Landrovers. Some time in the 2 century gap, all that amazing tech just vanished, and THE AUTHOR NEVER EXPLAINS WHY. It still bugs me today. Great story premise, medium good writing, cool steampunk descriptions, terrible plot consistency.

2024-06-23 14:57:43 +0000 UTCso...I see hard-science fan-fiction writing in Liz's future. "hard" is a double entendre here...
