Cinfhen @CBee Gaslamp fantasy (also known as gaslight fantasy or gaslight romance) is a subgenre of both fantasy and historical fiction. Generally speaking, this particular realm of fantasy employs either a Victorian or Edwardian setting (i.e. a between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries). According to fantasy fans as a whole, the subgenre consists, namely, of contemporary or modern fantasy pieces set in the Victorian "gaslamp" era. Amazon has a list!! 2y

Cinfhen Yay @Bookzombie sorry no trolls but we have monsters 😜😘 2y

BarbaraBB So happy with this although quite a bit of the prompts seems hard! But I can‘t wait to start planning! And so glad that there is a list on Storygraph already!! (edited) 2y

Bklover Having trouble signing up. Says I need access?? Anyway I did terrible this year. So maybe I‘ll do better 2021? (I can‘t do worse!) 4y

Cinfhen Hmmmm, the link seemed to work for me @Bklover Let‘s ask our tech experts... any suggestions @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft ??!?! 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bklover So happy you‘re giving it a go again this year! Do you mean the little bubble that says “request edit access.” You can just ignore that and as you scroll it goes away. 4y

Bklover I figured it out. I didn‘t realize you had to enter your email address twice. I should be entered now. 😁😘 (edited) 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bklover Awesome! I will double check and let you know if I don‘t see it. 😎 4y
