I wanted to get some perspectives from other writers here before I write an anthology of stories set in the same setting. In trying to decide which story would be the best to introduce the setting with, I started thinking a lot about what it's important for a first introduction to a setting to accomplish, and that made me want to ask around.
What are your priorities when establishing a setting? What do you most want the reader to know about, or experience in your world by the time they've finished the first thing you post in it?
