Darn it Jim! Now I am going to have a world where the tech is entirely based on lemurs running through my head while I work… though with a few spinning cages to drive gears it might work!
The real question is what their iconic symbol would be.
Steampunk:Zeppelins::Lemurpunk:???
I have to admit I didn’t think about it quite that deeply. But I’ll have plenty of time to come up with the details while I’m waiting to hear back on my lemurpunk trilogy deal!

Sigh. Somebody remind me why I’m still writing?
And if Scalzi, Wheaton et al. can do Clash of the Geeks with a pegasus-unicorn-kitten cover, I see no reason why lemurpunk would fail…
Well get writing! There’s still time to get in on the cutting edge of the Lemur movement!

Pfft… whatever =P I would totally respond like panel 1. Except maybe adopt all the babies instead of actually giving birth to them all, cause, you know, ouch >_<

So true. So very true. Seriously though, what did you think of my lemurpunk idea? 🙂

Lemurpunk is the new zombies! I’m already drafting “Dracula: With Lemurs”
Actually, it’s surprising how many people are saying they want to read lemurpunk…

Don’t forget the movie idea I pitched as well: “When Sloths Attack”

Fail? People are more excited about lemurpunk than they’ve been about any of my *real* books! 😛

Zombie Sloths… That is so doable. They have so much in common! Write it!

This made me laugh, however….I am ashamed to say that I have never heard of you. Then again, I am still new to writing.
Jim C. Hines
January 26, 2011 @ 7:36 pm
Nothing to be ashamed of. There are far too many authors out there for anyone to keep track of. We’re like gremlins in a swimming pool 🙂

Ah, Jim. It’s funny ‘cuz it’s true.
Also, I want an ARC of the lemurpunk.

An ARC? Heck, I’ll send you an invite when I start putting the anthology together!

Darn it, I had a whole proposed book series on lemurpunk …
Everyone else kept laughing at me, but I frinked right along…

I think it’s part of a package deal, and comes with that New York penthouse apartment and the agent who rides around with you in the back of the limo.
