I do tend to stay away from things (ie events, etc) that might bog down a timeline too much or just create an alternate one just for fun. As for the steampunk way of the things, I'm more a fan of the post apocalyptic re-emergence of the Victorian riddled with a dash of this tech and that. So you don't get the history so much, but more of the nuances of an era instead. : )
Yeah, I gotcha. Sometimes you just want the atmosphere and the different rules. Sometimes I just want to be a dashing rake in a Jane Austen romance where you don't do anything except hang around an English county, and to heck with the wars engulfing the world.
