You know how ASOUE has a sort of Victorian theme to it, well imagine if it was steampunk.
This is my ASOUE Steampunk AU.
Taking place in the Victorian Era (1837-1901), in the City which is filled to the brim with horse drawn carts and steam powered automobiles. Characters are slightly the same, except they dress in steampunk fashion and use advanced technology.
Violet Baudelaire - Is an aspiring female inventor (fitting for the time period)
Klaus Baudelaire - Avid bookworm and Violet's personal assistant
Sunny Baudelaire - Youngest of the three siblings with very sharp teeth
Count Olaf - A villainous vaudevillian actor and self proclaimed "Napoleon of Crime", all of his disguises have are Victorian based

counto, you have a great imagination. I suggest you focus on an idea and write a fanfic. Come on, can you think of the dialogues, the scenes and can you make a nice story out of it? Make a sketch not only of the characters, but also of the story ... What will happen at the beginning, in the middle and at the end? It doesn't have to be a big story, it can be something small to start. And you have to think about how the narrative is going to be. You don't necessarily have to follow the style of Lemony Snicket. You can tell the story however you want, even in third person. You seem to be someone who can imagine scenarios and appearances well, which is the exact opposite of Daniel Handler. So, invest in it. One suggestion is to start thinking about what kind of story it will be. Will it be a drama, will it be a comedy, will it be an adventure or will it be an investigation? Which of these styles do you like the most? Steam Punk is a cool idea, but you need to put that idea into a cool script. What will be the similarities and what will be the differences between your fanfic and the original story? It will be boring if the differences are only aesthetic. Which violet inventions can be put in the form of harnessing steam or another characteristic of steam punk? If I were to write something like that, it would pose a further problem than Olaf trying to steal his fortune and marry Violet. I like investigation, so I would put a killer chasing VFD members on both sides of the Schism. I would also enjoy Hector better, because I think he is the character that most fits the Steam Punk genre. Somehow, he would appear much earlier in the story. Another cool thing about Fanfics, is that you have total freedom. If you want to respect the original material a lot, you can tell a story that happens in another time with original characters. Even though they have the same name, after all this is a freedom that ASOUE gives us, since the names are repeated over the centuries, when you always honor dead friends.
