This is a good list of things to remember for a fantasy story. It also makes me wonder how it'd work with a reversal of the usual story idea of people from modern (or near-modern, like say, WW2) earth ending up in a fantasy land. What if a person from the fantastic realm ends up in modern days instead? What if Mister Tumnus or Trumpkin the dwarf had found their way to WW2 England? It'd be interesting to see how such a person would react to a society that didn't have to deal with all the problems you listed above.
