Do you have anything for gaslamp fantasy? (:

Gaslamp fantasy, steampunk’s magical cousin! (As I understand it,) gaslamp fantasy is an intersection of historical fiction and fantasy, which means a lot of your research and worldbuilding will come with a few filters, including but not limited to:

What’s your time period?

What are your fantasy/science rules and intersections?

How does the fantasy factor into the world?

Gaslamp fantasy is heavier on fantasy than on history, which leaves you largely free to develop at will. That said, let’s look at the above.

What’s your time period? Do some research solely on the basis of history to get a feel for the time period—figure out the dress code, social norms, how far medicine has advanced, what they do for fun, how relationships begin and end, etc.

What are your fantasy/science rules and intersections? This is where we get into the fantasy side of it. As with any historical/real world blending with fantasy, you need to figure out how magic and science play together—if they play at all. What are some failings/shortcomings of science that fantasy can fill? Are there places magic cannot get to or things magic is unable to deal with that science can and will? Do they ever overlap to create a blended magic/science technological element?

How does the fantasy factor into the world? Science aside, now. Fantasy is probably going to be the bigger “half” of your story influences, so consider how the fantastic elements affect the world. Where does magic come from? What is it? Who learns and uses it? Are there magical/supernatural creatures in the world?

Nygmobblepot Week: AU - 1920′s Prohibition

Oswald Cobblepot - The King of Gotham

Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a the Penguin is Gotham’s most notorious racketeer. When prohibition hit Gotham Oswald wasted no time in gaining control of the city’s illegal liquor trade, using his popular nightspot ‘The Iceberg Lounge’ as a front to hide his illegal activities behind. He remained untouchable to his rivals and the GCPD, securing his position as King of Gotham. Throughout all of his success the young gangster still lacked one thing, someone to share his success with. He did not anticipate the chance meeting with Edward Nygma, an unassuming young lecturer from Gotham University, to be the event that would change everything.

Nygmobblepot Week: AU - 1920′s Prohibition

Edward Nygma - Lecturer in Physics and Chemistry at Gotham University

Edward Nygma excelled in his education, showing signs of genius level intellect from an early age. Apart from his knack for science and math, Edward excelled at all kinds of puzzles and riddles. He found himself accelerated through his education, eventually becoming Gotham University’s youngest ever lecturer in the Science department. Intrigued by Gotham’s notorious gangs and their elaborate operations to avoid prohibition, Edward longed for some excitement that his current life was lacking. Always busy with his education and work, he had never made time for a relationship, until his run in with the King of Gotham, Oswald Cobblepot.
