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.

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.

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.)
