Im seriously at a lost for plot xD
when you say victorian I think of those cheesy harlequin romance novels.
minus a bit of the fantasy element, i have one with a more realistic take
on a victorian paris beauty and the beast retelling.
as the era is a time of high society of dukes and earls and plenty of drama
dealing in the machination of scandals and love affairs and political take down
how about a story of a Duke who has fallen into ruins, a man with a epitaph of
the 'Beast of Paris' for his scarred face. Betrayed in the past, which lead to
his current ruin, he seeks revenge and our Beauty is a daughter of a minor
family who somehow or another gets pull into his affairs.
thats the non fantasy one. for something more fantasy ish.. Im still thinking -w-;
