So I think I mentioned this briefly, but my basic approach to NaNo is essentially going to be using a whole heap of characters I have sitting in my head that don't get out much

Question: Would a world where magic exists have such thing as SF/Fantasy novels (although I'd call it Speculative Fiction) and associated clubs? I'm leaning towards 'yes', mostly because of the state of historical fiction in our own world, the fact that magic hasn't always existed in Merged World, and failing that they still haven't explored space or anything so there's the perfect opening for Star Trek.I'd say yes, also because of the historical thing. Plus, if you look at some romance novels and wuxia novels, many of them actually follow basic historical lines. I know many of Jing Yong's works (like Return of the Condor Heroes) follows general Chinese history, with all the wartimes, and attacks on this city and that city and the whole this army/country going to war against that one etc etc

Plus, are their electricity and magical systems completely separate?

Well, they don't have electricity. Only magic. Rather than being powered by burning fossil fuels, it's powered by some sort of magic (it's is a force generated by life, so most places have the kind of raw energy to be able to pull this off except, like, deserts and so on).

The moon thing isn't going to be significant in any way, it's just a good thing to know beforehand.

All of this is going to be pretty transparent to the reader, of course. I won't go into it in any depth, the story will be mostly character driven.

Mmm, character driven. *hearts*
