If you were going to be trapped on some made up fantasy world which would it be?

Well, Star Trek is pretty luxurious.  Still, I think Known Space is more adventurous.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

The Culture... on a contract for Special Circumstances or what the hell, why not exist as a Mind.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

You probably won't get to fuck Jessica, though, so you might want to reconsider.

I bet it would be horrifying to try to fuck something that's two-dimensional.

Let's ask Lettow.  I'm sure he's tried.
Aren't they three dimensional in Toon Town though?

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'll go for Westeros.
I'll be a homeless dude in flea bottom.
I'll probably get killed by the Hound while trying to get my hands on Sansa.
Or maybe I'll join the Gold Coats, and die in the battle of Blackwater, killed by some lordling that have been playing with swords since the day he was born, while I never got any real training until I joined the city guard, and by then it was too little too late.

I guess I'll take The Culture, since the chances of me drawing low value cards is lower in a high tech civilization.

Damn.  I'm really indecisive.  Some of the other mentions in this thread after mine seem pretty cool, too.  Is it too late for me to add Anne McAffrey's "Talents" universe (Pegasus-era, not Rowan-era)?

I'm not an expert on the physics of a place seen for ten minutes in some movie.

Even so, all the Scott McCloudian recognition stuff we do with abstracted images of faces, that we can find Charlie Brown to be an acceptable rendition of a human and Triplicate Girl to be hot?  That function doesn't work nearly as well for genitals.  At least, not on the occasional animated clip that I've looked at for science when on Youporn or xHamster for other reasons.  Conclusion: cartoon porn = awful.

Extrapolating, I'd suspect actual cartoon trying to fuck you = piss-yourself terrifying.

I'd love to live in the world Ronald Reagan thought he lived in.  :wub:

If you move to hollywood you can be a homelss duude stalking Miley Cyrus and get beat up by her security only to die in the VA hospital afterwards.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I prefer something a little less sterile. More organic. Star Trek has a Stepford Wives aspect to it I don't like so much. DS9 less so---which is why it's the best ST.

Waaah! I want to be the little hobbit! :3


Halflings have always, always, always been my favourite fantasy race. For a favourite sci-fi setting to live in, i'd go with Neo-Venezia. For fantasy, the shire is very hard to beat.

That series criminally underrepresented the inevitable flourishing of mormons in that scenario, based entirely on author appeal. He didn't really want to have to write a world that didn't have pagan lesbians in it.

Stirling: more or less of a hack than Turtledove? Is copy-pasting history into different places or times better or worse than manchild pandering?

I'm going to have to grudgingly favour Stirling if only because he isn't furthering a dangerous international conspiracy.

Damn, I've read at least 3 of the books that turned out to be part of the cultures series and I don't recall hardly anything about them.    :blush:

I do recall consider philbus and use of weapons were good reads, but clearly I need to reacquaint myself with them.
