There's a fic where Harry runs away or gets left outside after finding a book in a library on magic and believing he is an elf.
He grows up learning "wish for a trade" or magic for a trade bartering and such, meeting odd people along the way, multiheaded snakes, I think Mr. Lovegood, child Malfo...
This was a science fiction novel, written in English, which I read in hardcover. I checked it out from a public library around the late 1980s. I don't know how old this book was at the time, but it sure didn't have a "Golden Age" feel to it. I only remember one portion of the plot development. I'...
I read this approx 5 years ago but I couldn't say if it was newly published back then, it was a hardback from a UK library.
I can't recall too much of the story, the only thing that sticks in my mind is this scene(s)...

As anyone who's watched the Raimi 2002 Spider-Man trilogy may remember, Peter wakes up the morning after the spider bite with a ripped body, standing in stark contrast with the scrawny body we'd seen he had earlier.
Now that just begs the question - is that the case too for mainstream Marvel con...
So I read quite a bit of Science Fiction. I started with Phillip K Dick, but have now read a myriad of writers and am truly in love with it.
What I am looking for is more abstract stories? I often go into book shops and spool through, pull out a novel that I think sounds good or has a really ent...

When I was a kid, I remember reading a science fiction novel in which the main character loses an arm at some point, and has a run in with a homicidal squirrel. Does anyone know what this was?
For what it's worth, I remember it was one of four novels published in a single volume collection, one...
Does anyone know the backstory of the display armor in the background in the yacht scene that looks very much like Jango Fett's helmet and possibly Armor as well?
So there was this one anime/cartoon when i was a kid that i watched but i cant remember its name.
But i remember that there were a boy,girl and a guy robot if you could say. The mission was to drive around with the tank and collect some kind of gems/diamonds (they are all different colour) and ...
One of the stories I am sure was called The Road and another was about a mysterious alien that a young girl named Ineed and her mother kept correcting it to Enid. I read it in the 70's or early 80's and really wish to rediscover these stories.

I would like to identify animated movie from my childhood.
Not sure about language, animation style could be anime or similar.
Watched it on VHS in early 90's so it could be from 90's or 80's.

I remember reading a harry potter fanfic series somewhere in 2010-2012(roughly) that narrates through the movies, and basically makes fun of it. It was posted on fanfiction.net though I'm not able to find it on searching for it there recently.
There were multiple fics done, each based on a movi...
From 17-Oct-2018 NASA ICE tweet:
I'm curious of the actual dimensions, and if possible a complete photo. And curious in a scifi sort of way if they have a ratio of 1:4:9

According to some Namesake comic fans, the following conversation between between Emma Sr. and One suggests that he had been involved with Daniel Crewe at some point:
On the other hand, One found and raised Daniel:
It would be little weird if he'd been romantically involved with him, given ...
When voting to close a question there are five options you can choose from:
The ones that interest me here are the third and fifth choices. While I don't think this is a pervasive issue, I have seen it enough that I think it warrants a discussion. It seems to me that specifically these two clo...
In Star Trek VI, we have this odd (but amusing) quote
There's an old Vulcan proverb: Only Nixon could go to China
Why did the Vulcans have this proverb?
