I’m happy to announce that the Vagrants website now has some actual stuff on it!

We have added some information on members of our collective and friends to our Links page, have told you a little bit About ourselves and given you all a little bit of information as far as Submissions go.

Most excitingly of all, we have added a page called ‘Upcoming‘ where you can take a sneak peek at some of the things that we have in the pipeline, find out when they’re likely to be released, and whether they’re currently accepting submissions or not.

We hope that you’re as exited about this as we are.

Good news!

We have just taken delivery of a brand new shipment of SteamPunk Magazine, and now have copies of issues #1 through #6 back in stock.

Also, keep an eye out for issue #7, which you can expect to see hit the shelves at the end of March.

The good news is that Vagrants is now really starting to do brilliantly! The bad news is that for now, this means that we have sold out of absolutely every single copy of SteamPunk Magazine that we have. Honestly, we don’t even have any left on our own shelves any more.

But fear not! In around a month’s time we will be getting a huge shipment of reprints along with copies of the brand new issue #7.

Until then, you shall just have to content yourselves with downloading the magazines for free. Alternatively, most of them are still available from our sister-operation in the US, Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness.

We have currently sold out of copies of Issue #1 of Steampunk Magazine.

We expect to be getting more copies printed at around the end of March, but until that time you can still purchase the issue through the mail order page at Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness, or download it for free through the Steampunk Magazine website.

We’ve been having a few teething problems with our online store which have resulted in a number of people being overcharged for postage.

Rest assured that we’re pretty sure that this matter has been resolved, and we have refunded the excess postage to everyone who purchased copies of Steampunk Magazine before we were able to fix the problem.

Many thanks to you all for the wonderful support you have already shown us since we started taking orders from the UK!

Hello and welcome at long, long last to Vagrants Among Ruins.

Vagrants is a steampunk publishing collective that includes writers, artists, editors, makers and all other sorts of creative folk. The collective sprung from (and centres around) the publication of Steampunk Magazine, which we release jointly with our sister organisation, Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness. Many of the magazine’s contributors, contraptors and helpers have been working together for many years to make SPM as good as it can possibly be, and recently that melting-pot of ideas has began to come up with plans for projects beyond the constraints of the magazine itself.

Currently, members of the Vagrants collective are working on a rough guide to Steampunk in the United Kingdom, and also a collection of short stories by a number of different authors set in a steampunked post-apocalyptic ice age.

In time, we will also be releasing books (both fiction and non-fiction), articles, zines and maybe even music – so be sure to stay tuned for future releases, as well as for guidelines on how to submit your work to us for publication.

Vagrants is organised out of the United Kingdom, but includes members from all over the world. Through the Vagrants website, you can now order copies of Steampunk Magazine from the UK through the Vagrant’s Bazaar where, in time, you will also be able to pick yourself up copies of the other wonderful delights that we bring out. Those of you in the Americas will also be able to order zines, books and the like, from the United Kingdom, as well as still being able to purchase Steampunk Magazine domestically from our good friends over at Strangers.

Just as with Steampunk Magazine, all Vagrants Among Ruins releases will be Creative Commons licensed, and will be made available for free download via our website. The Vagrants collective hopes to continue putting the punk back into steampunk for quite some time to come!
