Oo, yes! I like both your angle and Scott’s as well. Not sure which I think is true, chicken or egg conundrum, indeed. Who has been around longer technically than steampunk overall, but steampunk has existed longer than New Who, even longer than the Eighth Doctor, who is certainly cited as being particularly Victorian. Since writing this series of posts back in October, I’ve read Tim Powers’ Anubis Gates, which is considered one of the seminal works of neo-Victorian SF/F, if not steampunk specifically, and it’s INCREDIBLY Whovian. I would definitely say its style is eerily similar to some Who novels I’ve read over the years, particularly Eighth and Tenth Doctor novels.

Hi, interesting angle – I just posted on a connected topic that being a set of spin-off Doctor Who universe stories called Jago & Litefoot. In my post http://redrocketrising.com/2013/04/steampunk-j-and-l/ I consider the question of steampunk influences.

Interestingly this prompted author Cavan Scott on his blog to post on this in some detail and make the point that maybe Doctor Who influences steampunk and not the other way round! His post is http://cavanscott.com/2013/04/is-doctor-who-steampunk/
