Hm, I haven't read any steampunk-ish short stories, but if you want time travel and fun steampunk elements The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers is a great novel. And if you need any SAJV eps, I can supply those, but the quality varies on those (oh, how I covet DVDs of that show). Another great series for turn-of-the-century setting with time travel elements would be The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
For Futurama, I'd go with Jurassic Bark and the one where everyone travels back in time and Fry becomes his own grandfather. Farscape is a tough choice; I suppose it depends on what element of the show you want to focus on?
I haven't read any of Jenkins' new books, but Textual Poachers, although a great book for the history of fandom, vidding, and slash fic, is rather dated now. It doesn't really deal with online fandom at all.
