It feels weird having to ask this because it feels like it should be quite obvious, and I've written 4 books without having to stop and think about setting. It all just came naturally as soon as I thought of the story.
But I just got an idea for my latest book and I realized the concept will work in pretty much any world. Contemporary, futuristic scifi, fantasy with magic and sorcery, or even contemporary with superheroes. Each setting comes with its own set of pros and cons and I am excited about all of them. I've made a list of possibilities that come with each setting and I'm still no closer to making a decision. So how do you decide which setting works best for your story or should I just flip a coin or..?
