I want to write a shitty steampunk-fantasy series inspired by Lord of the Rings, like that's never been done before. Difference is it's less goggles and gears and more based on traditional victorian values and race and class based conflict. It's mostly culture that's advanced, not technology, but it's still a high fantasy world, where the elements of it are uncomfortably trying to conform to this new modern era. I mostly draw inspiration from Arcanum and Discworld while giving it an expansive history and pantheon akin to LOTR.

I'm only doing it for my own pleasure really, and to entertain my younger cousin. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel or anything. Hopefully it goes somewhere. Likely not.

It's also a mix of every fantasy element I've come up with since I was young, involving forests full of little people made of pinecones and pinestraw.
