Story Settings

    Think about your favorite book for a moment.
    Now think about it's setting, where and when the story takes place.

    Now think of that story and its characters taking place in a completely different setting--like a contemporary story/characters in a dystopia setting, or a dystopia story/characters in a normal, happy, Mayberry-like town without any disastrous qualities.
    It totally makes things different, right? Sometimes that can be a good thing. Mixing two different genres can sometimes make a story premise seem really interesting, but other times it makes the story just . . . weird . . . and not in a good way.

   That's why it's important to make sure the setting you choose for your story is the right one--and not only fitting, but well-written as well. A writer wants to make their story setting interesting, intriguing, and a fun place for the characters to do their thing. Not a boring, dull place that you don't care enough to visualize as you read.

    Fitting for the character and the setting, not like a cardboard cutout, and interesting. All good things one would want their setting to be.
