I'll put you down for the upcoming week. 
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

Hubay, Juan, LTU: You're on for next Monday. Juan, I'd go ahead and submit anyway--a new chapter might get more responses or spur people to look at the last one. Sometimes things are a little slow.
Manny: You don't necessarily have to respond to people's chapters right away, or respond to every chapter every week. Our guideline is at least one critique per every chapter you submit.

Juan: Just PM Chaos and I with your email address, and one of us will put you on the mailing list so that you can receive other people's submissions. Everything that you need to know about submitting your own work is on this thread.

Yes, Carriger's very light on the steampunk. I've only read the first, so maybe there's a bit more steampunk in the later books. Fun stuff, though.

A couple of steampunk stories have appeared at podcastle lately: Specifically, Daniel Abraham's "Balfour and Meriweather" and "To Follow The Waves" by Amal El-Mohtar. (Note that the latter feels a lot more like fantasy than steampunk to me, and it's also rated R for sexual content, though I didn't personally find it gratuitous or offensive.)
Boneshaker is probably a fairly good place to start. Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan seems to be held in fairly high regard, though I haven't read it myself.
I don't know steampunk all that well. If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

Crimson Wind by Diana Pharaoh Francis and Kissing the Wtitch and Other Tales by Emma Donoghue.
Also a bunch of things for various classes which are decidedly less interesting.
