Hi @lennstar, happy to help. Technically Steampunk is not a genre as it has no unique story beats, unlike say a love story or a revenge story. Steampunk is a setting, look, feel, and attitude, very much like the wild west. A story of any other genre can be given a steampunk setting. So choose your normal genre and give it a steampunk makeover. I tend to think the main attribute of any Steampunk story is the attitude of the main characters, if you can given them that angry 'I'm against the system' feel you are half way there.
