hahahaha yes, you are correct! To clarify, when I was talking about lulzy Martian lolvictorians, that was a reference to Larklight which is also suitably ridiculous to satisfy my steampunk urges. I love that these books are LOLEDWARDIAN and not LOLVICTORIAN however! The Edwardian and prewar era is one that I often feel is sadly overlooked.
AND YES EXACTLY. Delight in the ridiculous is clearly how these books are meant to be enjoyed!
