Also: 1 vote for medium to high fantasy in any of the published settings. 1 vote for the Bas-Lag setting of China Mieville and/or a little surreal, a little weird, things are generally a little magical but the variations are myriad and a new style of magic or a new use could appear around any corner.
The votes are split between those that voted before the setting was chosen and those that voted after, so some results are less relevant than others.
