New Sub-Sub-Genre
On Twitter, Tessa Dare enquired: What type of show would Torchwood Regency-style be called?
Referring to Georgette Heyer's Regency cant, I came up with: barquestepper.
Since barquestepper would be to Regency what steampunk is to Victorian, I decided to employ two similar terms from the cant and smush them together.
Thus, steam has the equivalent in stepper as in high stepper for a horse of excellent bloodlines. And punk finds it's companion in barque as in a person who wants to be outside the social norm.
So here you go, a new sub-sub-genre of romance novels: barquestepper.

You=awesome.
I must travel to my local bookseller and inquire into this new subgenre. :)

"Why, thank you," simpering.
Before you travel to your local bookseller, you'd have to request Tessa Dare to write the story. :)
