Oh the pain of chiselling out the next story...

[idiosyncreant]

I am in a crisis.

So I'm concocting this Secret Society of Glamorous Librarians thing, right?
Well.
Today my mom asked me if it was going to be "a steampunk".


...aaaaaaaaaah.
It may just be.


But--but--but I had a collage picked out already!




The thing is...steampunk doesn't necessarily have to feature heavily in smokestacks and leather.
In fact, in this case, the characters wouldn't be close to that sort of thing, anyway.

The collage may be worth it for pure artistic reasons.

But I am having a crisis while my mind decides how to process this line of inspiration, and where to go.



Note: I would not be angsting this way if I had instantly known it was wrong--which I usually do. So I'm not being swayed by someone else's opinion, so much as conflicted about my own two ideas.

What exactly was the question?

There are bits there you can keep if you go steampunk; the lanterns and the window especially.

Smokestacks no.

Leather yes.
