When I was doing the research for the Alice Liddell segments of the comic, the books I read were more on the biography side, including "The Mystery of Lewis Carroll" by Jenny Woolf. I did read a historic fiction on Alice Liddell's life, "Alice I Have Been." The Alice books I haven't shied away on as much as I did some of the Oz pastiches, such as "Wicked." Part of me still remembers what happened to Helen Keller in the 1890s, but also fandom can be vicious if they feel you've sat down and copied someone else. Yes, that's ironic considering the literary subgenre that's pretty much being built from "Twilight" fanfic now thanks to "50 Shades of Grey."

Have you read Jeff Noon's work. specifically "Automated Alice?" Don't be afraid to explore other authors that work in your subject. Just realize we are all art fish in the same creativity pond, there are only so many ideas, and we're all post modern. So do what you love, and make it yours by the telling. Which it appears you are well on your way too accomplishing. I think it’s brave to choose a well-covered subject matter to base your story on.

Well though I don't see him cleaning his workplace, the more moving parts are still there. Just HAD to check in the prologue again.
