The Year of the Villain.

[winneganfake]

Ladies, gentlemen, zombies, airship pirates, and suchlike beings...

We are not amused. For years now, steampunk has been ridden with your ilk- the would be heroes, noble pirates, plucky engineers, golden-hearted pros-

You get the idea. This situation has become downright intolerable- there's now so many of you lot, that any would-be problem has now been swamped by hordes of overeager heroes. It's time for a change. While I certainly cannot speak for any part of the community, much less steampunkery at large, I hereby declare 2010 to be the Year of The Villain. It's time for us to don our black coats and hats, wax our mustaches, prime the dynamite, and throw the switches. It's time to remind the heroes just why they needed to exist in the first place.

How do you take over the world? I’ve tried everything. Doomsday devices of every kind, nuclear, thermonuclear, nanotechnological, gadgets that fit in a shoe box and that were visible from space. I’ve tried mass mind control; I’ve stolen the gold reserves in Fort Knox, only to lose them again. I’ve traveled backward in time to change history, forward in time to escape it; I’ve stopped time altogether to live in a world of statues. I’ve commanded robot armies, insect armies, and dinosaur armies. Fungus army. Army of fish. Of rodents. Alien invasion. Interdimensional alien invasion. Alien god invasion. Even a corporate takeover, Impossible Industries, LLC. Each time, it ended the same way. I’ve been to jail twelve times.

I'm prepared for your year of extraordinary bastardry!

Or I will be as soon as I get some moustache wax!

Are you going to post about this over on Brass Goggles or Steampunk Empire?
