1	The [[http://mythpunk.blogspot.com/ Mythpunk]] Fiction Blog is a blog containing, you guessed it, {{Mythpunk}} action-comedy stories combining alternate history and epics. Set in a world where historical figures regularly clash with dinosaurs, zombies, and alien gods with kung fu, the stories run off of RuleOfCool and sly historical and pop culture in-jokes.

4	!!Tropes Found in Mythpunk Include:
5
6	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Carefully danced around. While velociraptors appear, it's never mentioned whether they're realistically tiny, or the large-sized, Jurassic Park-style velociraptors. And beside that, they were created through MadScience.
7	%%* BadassBoast: Alexander Hamilton has one of these.
8	%%* BadassNormal: Pretty much every historical figure, ever.
