I can so identify with Luddites! As you might have noticed, my knowledge of 21st-century technology has proceeded on a desperately-need-to-know basis, so is fairly sketchy. I hope your Regency Luddites are shown as either short-sighted or far-sighted (environmentalists before their time) but not complete fools.
Unlike the little man dressing for a costume party in a cartoon that once ran in The New Yorker, you know how to buckle your swash.
Lesbian sword & sorcery in a desert city with personified death sounds tempting, though.
For years, I've been drawn to Hans Christian Anderson's Snow Queen as a personification of a northern climate, and esp. as a kind of seductive Domme version of death by freezing. For better or worse, climate change in central Canada seems to be deflating her power in my real life (prob. yours too).
Actually, She could show up in your medieval Russian story, possibly as a gentler threat to male lovers than the local landowner, the Tsar's court or the Church. :~(
IMO you have 2 choices: (1) force yourself to finish the piece that either has the soonest deadline or seems most likely to be accepted, or (2) pay attention to your dreams. The plot that is most on your mind will probably show up there, so you can work with your subconscious.
