Awesome Steampunk Contest at ARe!

And yes... Im part of it (or rather, my naughty alter ego Dagmar is...)


Steam Society Contest!

Are you curious about Steampunk? Maybe you're already a diehard fan. The Steam Society, a super cool group housed right here at AReCafe.com, is hosting this fab contest.

Who said 13 is an unlucky number? Bah! Rubbish! This contest will have 13 lucky winners...

The Prizes

1. Steampunk hair comb and set of gear hair pins courtesy of Stella by Starlight! The watch gear hair comb is made with Italian lace and ribbon. The copper colored hair pins are made with pewter gears. All pieces are one of a kind, never to be reproduced. ($50.00)

2. A Hellion of the Skies by Dagmar Avery ($.99)

"Lady Sarah Worthington had been missing for over five years, all clues to her whereabouts completely unknown. Inquiries had been made, investigations had been carried out, but it seemed she’d vanished without a trace."

3. Evie's Gift by PJ Schnyder ($2.99)

"The sound of a siren cut across the cabin, making her jump and clap her hands over her ears. Other passengers did the same, some of the gentlemen falling into a crouch as the airship lurched."

4. Flavia's Flying Corset by Sahara Kelly ($3.50)

"Flavia Winters settled her skirts, adjusted her corset more comfortably and walked out of reality into a dream late one Thursday afternoon."

5. Miss Bramble and the Leviathan by Kristen Painter ($3.50)

"Pandora glanced around. Not another soul occupied the room with her. Recalling the schematics, she counted off passageways until she came to the fifth on the left-hand side."

6. Lady Doctor Wyre by Joley Sue Burkhart ($3.50)

"“I cannot marry you.” Charlotte Wilder struggled to take a deep breath through the heartache banding her chest, made even more difficult by her corset. A lady could have some luxuries even on a backwater colony planet. “I’m sorry, truly.”"

7. Infernal Devices by Abigail Barnett ($3.99)

"The scrap of paper that Miss Permilia Deering clutched in her black satin glove instructed her to cross the street, go to the door with the little brass plaque in the shape of two playing cards—aces, a heart and a spade—and to pull the bell and wait."

8. Like Clockwork by Bonnie Dee ($3.99)

"Late for her appointment with the Commission for Animatronic Affairs, Victoria desperately searched her overflowing desk for the files she'd intended to present today. How was it possible she'd mislaid them?"

9. Wild Cards and Iron Horses by Sheryl Nantus ($5.50)

"Jon stepped inside the building, his eyes slow to adjust to the different lighting of the workshop. The thick wooden door swung shut behind him with a resounding thud. His imagination brought up the image of a gladiator walking into the Roman arena about to meet his doom."

10. Unraveled Souls by Sandra Sookoo ($5.95)

"Blood everywhere. The abstract splatter from the violent spray dotted the rose-patterned paper of an unfamiliar drawing room, blending a macabre design with the sedate ordinary."

11. Steam Queen by Jack Hessey ($5.99)

"Erica took a quick step back as the blonde took a wild swipe at the tattered brown Stetson hat on her head and gave a small shake of her head."

12. Steam & Sorcery by Cindy Spencer Pape ($5.99)

""We live in an age where people can travel on ships that fly through the air." The sharp rap of an umbrella point on the wooden floor of the carriage punctuated the sentence."

13. Full Steam Ahead by Natalie Gray ($6.95)

"With the addition of the boarding party, the original combatants could make a hasty retreat, which they did. Laurel's knuckles throbbed from repeatedly hitting the guy's head. But damn. What a night."
