How is the setting of your story similar to your
everyday world? How is it different, Nano Writer?

Well, considering I'm writing fanfiction and the world I'm working in is the Pokemon (game) world, it's quite different to the everyday world. Using a pre-existng world means I have a lot of details already in place, but I'm working towards a more 'realistic' pokemon world, with longer travel between cities as well as more details about pokemon logistics and how they might function if they were part of the current world.

I'm in the middle of planning out the world and its logistics (and this year I remembered in time and so can afford a week of plotting and planning), and so far it's coming together nicely -- 4 1/2 pages of background notes and counting.

Thanks :) I'm heading back to the RBY years (Gen 1 and in Kanto) but with information from all the generations all the way up to gen 5 (BW/BW2). The only bit I'm having trouble with at the moment is adapting natures in to the story -- natures raise one stat and lower another (e.g. a pokemon with the bold nature has its defense raised 10% but attack lowered 10%) which is all well and good in the games, but a bit more tricky to put in to the story.

It's fine :) I think for now I'm just going to avoid describing it in much detail and just have a "some pokemon are faster/have higher defense/have higher attack than others". I've got everything else worked out (HP is health, PP is the energy it takes to attack [high PP = lots of energy = fewer chances to use that attack], the type of attacks) so it's not urgent, just a little annoying.

My setting is the everyday world.
The parts where the dreams come in though, that's the Old Japan. With a little touch of fantasy. Perhaps. Still trying to work that bit out.

I haven't exactly put a time on it yet... Have to do quite a bit of research first... But... Samurai Old Japan. Perhaps the beginning of the Edo period. But I'm not sure yet... It might just as easily be the Meiji period or something even earlier than Edo... *sweatdrop* Still trying to work and figure it all out... ^^
I'm rather curious about your story. ^^

Well, the only major difference (at least at this point) is that telepathy exists. (That, and, because I think it'd be hilarious, the James Randi Foundation is the organization in charge of certifying telepaths.)
