Asa Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The name says it all: If you could live within any fantasy world, which one would you pick, and why? Also, what would you do in that world? I'd go with Wheel of Time's world, a little before Eye of the World begins. I'd then assassinate Nynaeve and Egwene to prevent insanity later on. For good measure I'd go kill Faile and Elayne too.

niamh Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Why, I'd live in Valinor, and I'd stop Morgoth from stealing the Silmarils and having the Two Trees poisoned. All in a day's work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yana Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'd choose Middle Earth. I'd love to live among the elves or dwarves. And I wouldn't do anything to change it....maybe I'd be the one taking care of trees in Lothlorien... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stego Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The Shire. Its an Epicurean utopia. You get to eat and drink and smoke as much as you wish, and you live 120 years anyway. There's no disease, and you're protected by them wierd Bagginses. There's even cute little buxom barmaids to service you. Paradise is not lost, Mr. Milton, it's West of Bree.

Werthead Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The Shire would be fun to live in, but only until an embittered ex-wizard with a bad smoking habit turns up... One of Peter F. Hamilton's worlds (presumably one that doesn't get nuked, incinerated in a solar flare or engulfed by a nova) would be cool to live on: good standard of living, interesting philosophical discussions in the midst of genocidal crises and an implasuibly large number of attractive women who like blokes for their personalities first and foremost. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwyn Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Well it depends what I get to be. Personnally I think I would try to pick somewhere where I don't run the daily risk of getting killed by invaders or monsters or barabarians if I'm just some randomn peasant. This of course makes my choices very limited since most fantasy novels revolve around some form of epic war or other. Okay, I'll be weird and say the Arabian nights. Yes, I'd want to leave in the world full of genies and sorcerers and princes as described in the Arabian nights. There is less female opression in the Arabian Nights than in the modern middle east so I figure I'd be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelo Rebelo Firqoralas Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Omelas always struck me as the place to be. Urth is also cool, but that one's more for sightseeing than for living in. And if we include science fiction, then I'd buy a condo in the nearest Culture GSV right this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alytha Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'd like to live on Hyperion, post "Rise of Endymion". Or on the Discworld, especially Ankh-Morpork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanteGabriel Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'd go for Pratchett's Discworld and see if I couldn't find that island of Amazon women that Rincewind was on at the beginning of Interesting Times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
