Holiday cards

changelingSo, I managed to completely miss December holiday cards this year, due to not really being online much and general vagueness. So I decided (since I love sending and receiving them so much) to send out January cards. While perusing the intarnets for a suitable holiday to celebrate, I checked out Wikipedia's "holiday" entry. And I found the very thing.
Right at the bottom of the page, it claimed that January 7 is Steampunk Day. Now, as I cannot find any other reference to this in the vast wading pool we call "cyberspace", I think this is what is technically known as a "lie". Still, like all good traditions, no-one said that it had to be based on fact.
So. In order to celebrate Steampunk Day on January 7, I shall be sending out Steampunk Cards to all who want them. If you want to participate, feel free to leave your details below (I'm the only one who can view the poll); or, if you prefer, to email them to my LJ username at gmail.com. If you'd like to host a Steampunk exchange yourself, by all means feel free; if you could link back to this post that'd be spiffing. If you want to send me a card, either leave a note in the poll, or send me an email to my LJ username. For those who've sent me cards before, I've moved, and am no longer living with my folks.
This is my plan for the cards: each one sent out will have an illustration, or a flash fiction, or both, somehow related to steampunk. The sender can send the same item to every person, if they will, or they can send out individual somethings, so each person has a different story or picture. I think I'm going to write a piece of flash fiction, which I am planning on posting in my LJ on January 7 (or as near as I get on the computer). If others do the same, it'd be awesome if they linked me to it.
I may have left the first line of a new story I'm working on in the poll. Guess which it is.
