Thinking of making my already complete quasi-historical novel "Deco Punk" but I'm not really sure how to go about this. Also, not sure I'm in the right thread or place for this. Since I'm a fantasy writer and NOT a history major I've done about as much damage as I can do while researching the 30's. LOL
I have characters globe trotting (for various reasons) from New York to Europe in what I've decided is 1936. They end up in Paris and eventually Scotland with a side trip to Spain (which I found out was already being bombed at that point *sigh*). There was no Transatlantic flight, but I went ahead and popped them on planes anyways. (An airship would be great.) This would be SO MUCH easier if I could make this fantasy because this is a story that WILL NOT leave me alone.
What do I do? I don't want to make it another planet or to go full Steampunk or Diesel Punk. I haven't been able to really find any good resources besides small explanations of what Deco Punk is and I think I'm fairly close enough to make it work within the confines of my story.
Thought you knowledgeable folks might be able to help.
