If you like making fiction maps by hand (but not fantasy maps) - have a look at this great mapping project: Open Geo Fiction: http://www.opengeofiction.net

From the about page: "This world is set in modern times, so it doesn't have orcs or elves, but rather power plants, motorways and housing projects. But also picturesque old towns, beautiful national parks and lonely beaches. "

It's essentially a fictional OpenStreetMap, and actually uses all the same stack as OSM, with all the data as Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike

I was just randomly zooming in and found a city called Auflington (http://www.opengeofiction.net/node/19913404) --- that's a work of art!!

Update: And there are so many like that --- incredibly detailed, ordered and organic!

Wow! I was looking for exactly this a few weeks ago for a story I'm writing. Don't know how I never came across this. Thank you so much.
