> Isn't quality of the writing more important than staying "true" to the stereotyped view of a setting?
you want to write a steampunk novel, and -punk subgenre means your setting is the character, it was something that you cant separate from the story, it wasthe basic rule of the game, that's why -punk subgenre is -punk in the first place, because the setting itself is 'alive' and it affects both the main character and narrative in many ways, this is also the reason why every -punk subgenre (as cheap as some people perceive it) have their own philosophy and background of it. some might see them as limitation, some other might see this as a creative freedom or something where they can put some allusion to, it depends on their perspective and approach towards the genre right after they craft their own story.
this is also why I said in here >>23412474 that you need to do some extra research about steampunk inside out, because you tried to write a story based on a setting instead of a premise or outline like in a traditional writing method.
also treasure planet is an adaptation, naturally it would be incomparable to your writing project where you want to build the story entirely from the ground, and as much as I remember, the steampunk-futuristic setting in treasure planet is indeed have the relevancy to the story with the flying ship and the planet they go to, the steampunk in there is not only work aesthetically but also being part of the story itself, other animation example is arcane (self explanatory name), implementation of both arcanepunk and steampunk in the story that is not only exist on aesthetic level but relevant to the story and character in there, you might want to study from there.
