@TheRobot @TheOrangutan @sigrist @StephenJennisonSmith @ThomasBerryman @dreamingthought @nikayaya @ashiqtnt @JoeTite @VioletDawn @AngusEcrivain Decopunk is a recent subset of the Steampunk genre, centered around the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne art styles, and based around the period between the 20s and 50s. In an interview at CoyoteCon, steampunk author Sara M. Harvey made the distinctions - "...shiner than DieselPunk, more like DecoPunk." and "DieselPunk is a gritty version of Steampunk set in the 1920s-1950s. The big war eras, specifically. DecoPunk is the sleek, shiny very Art Deco version; same time period, but everything is chrome!" DecoPunk is more of a brighter future, as if the depression and wars never happened. It's a bit pulp, like worlds of the early Superman, the Rocketeer, the Phantom, and the Flash. It's all hopes and dreams. The term was also independently proposed for the movie Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and the computer game Bioshock, though the latter is set in an alternate history 1960 placing it outside the usual time period associated with decopunk. |

Now there's an idea... have you all create a comic strip... lol but no... the Comic part refers to comedy :) |

@AngusEcrivain @AngusEcrivain - I figured. XD Part of me was half hoping i could just come up with some cheesy superhero premise and make it pass. I don't think I have it in me to do comedy this far into the contest. Guess I'll see if I even have to worry about it soon enough! |

Well to be fair a cheesy superhero premise might work... haha! But what's that... you're not flagging, are you? :P |

@AngusEcrivain uh... I was flagging somewhere around round 2 or 3. I'm too stubborn to quit though. I'll keep cheesy superheros and perhaps WASPs in mind should I make it though. I actually really wanted to do the DecoPunk round. It's the Comic part that i'm not sure of. |
