Steampunk - Source Material

[ghost-angel]

Alright... I managed to get near a project, and since it involves a convention that means I may get sucked into said project.

I need any and all source material you consider "Steampunk"

-Books
-Comics
-Movies (including Anime)
-Music (no, really, whatever you listen to to get 'into the Steampunk mood')
-RPGs
-Television
-Video Games
-Any other medium I forgot

I have a really long list already (actually, I have a really long literary list since that's usually my main focus and a moderate Other Media list), and I have a slightly narrowed definition of what I consider Steampunk and the purpose here is to get the whole range on the topic (as some will shuffle Steampunk all the way up to HP Lovercraft), go through it, and start identifying sub-genre, tropes, aspects, and etcetera, blah, et al., so on, such and such.

Dystopian, Utopian, and in between. I need everything you would dump into the Steampunk Bucket. I don't need what you consider Steampunk - I need what Source Material you consider Steampunk

No actual steam engines etc, but: City of Ember (movie about a year ago).

Space 1889 rulebooks, source books, adventures

[Spence]

Anime that fall into my definition of Steampunk.

Steamboy (movie)
Last Exile
Sakura Wars (OAV)
Sakura Wars (TV)
Sakura Wars 2 (OAV)
Sakura Wars: The Movie
Geo-Armor: Kishin Corps

I will try to find book title lists that apply when I get home.

It may help us narrow what we send you if we had a better idea of what you consider to be steampunk.... Never mind that last, it helps to read the entire question

Actually - the exercise at the moment is to avoid completely what *I* think of as Steampunk. I need what *you* think of as Steampunk.

This is for a Discussion Panel at a convention.

I have those. I'm more hoping to get your guys Actual Opinions on what YOU consider Steampunk.

I have lists coming out of my ears from various sources. But lists are impersonal and sometimes miss stuff.

[Spence]

I don't need what you consider Steampunk - I need what Source Material you consider Steampunk

Emphasis mine....

You said you didn't want our opinion just material we considered SP. Hence the lists.....

I have those. I'm more hoping to get your guys Actual Opinions on what YOU consider Steampunk.

To say why I think the material is SP, is to say what I consider to be SP?

[ghost-angel]

What I meant was - give me shows, movies, etc... that you would consider to be Steampunk.

But not to give me a list of tropes (like steam mecha, babbage machines, victorian clothing).

I truncated the second post a bit, guess I thought I was being clear and I wasn't.

Anyways - yes, I have those lists. They are incredibly useful. But I'm looking to see what other people personally consider to be Steampunk Movies, Books, Shows, Comics, Etc just in case those lists miss something, and because I'm curious to see how far the genre spreads in peoples eyes.

This is less an exercise in just compiled a list of Media to invest my time in (which is part of it, don't get me wrong) and more an exercise in seeing how far people stretch the boundaries.

If you get my meaning.

So pardon my not being precisely specific in every single post.
