I have done it!

I have finally found a term I can use to describe that thing the kids these days dig with top hats and goggles and gears. "Vernian Fantasia" was a little clunky and awkward. You know what isn't?

SteamPulp. It describes the fantastic nature of the inventions and the larger than life adventures, it encompasses the heroic and dashing deeds of its heroes. SteamPulp. It's awesome.

I don't know if you've heard me bitch about 'the corruption of the genre', but even though I've stopped badmouthing modern 'steampunk', I can't bring myself to use the term. So this was a very pleasant breakthrough for me.
