What [types of] story setting [do you prefer]?
I like ideas, so I like it when the setting of a story is rich with ideas in itself. I loved China Miéville's Perdido Street Station for that, and Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice series.
I also like a cosy setting in the past, so I'm quite fond of Jane Austen, HG Wells, Agatha Christie.
When I'm writing, setting comes from the idea, but I like a setting with a particular feel that brings out a voice I want to write in.
