(Photo from here with more exquisite steampunk girls!)

I think I've already made up my mind what anthology I want to write a story for this month. I saw it on Tania Walsh's site and I couldn't resist it based on the title alone. "Real Girls Don't Rust." Isn't that an awesome title?! I don't have a story idea yet, but I'm playing around with a few ideas in my head.
