TBH, although I am a big fan of the aesthetic, I haven't read much of the established literature myself, mostly on account of not having any time -_-
But really, some of the stuff in the ....crap I can't remember the name of the gameworld.... Beyond the Pale, to me, is fairly steampunk. It is steampunk + the undead, really. :)
So there, you've been writing it all along and you just never knew :V
Mostly anything that is sort of Victorian-ish + extra crazy technology (ray guns, mad scientists, air ships, etc) probably can qualify as Steampunk. It can stray in to other eras, as well. I am kind of fascinated by what I have heard dubbed 'sandalpunk' also, which is 'what if the Romans had developed steam technology?'
