I'm trying to find a story that I read around 1970 in Read magazine, which was a little magazine that we used to get in junior high school. The details are hazy at this late date, but it was something about a guy who awakens one night to find that his body is being "eaten" in some way, starting ...

There was a book that had a story about, I think, a child's adventure. The book interested me because it was rather gimmicky -- there were colorful illustrations and pages with "windows" cut into them, things like that. The thing I remember best was a part where the child is going into town on a...

Most Sci-Fi shows treat video chat entirely wrong to make the show better for the audience. The characters are obviously watching the screen, but always seem to be staring directly into the camera. (and like this question discusses, they often show 3d perspective as though someone could look arou...

In Firefly episodes 2 (The Train Job) and 10 (War Stories), we see the villian Adelai Niska in his space station (which multiple characters call a "skyplex"). It looks like it rotates around a central column, where some kind of industrial operation is happening. What does this operation in the ...

If you have already watched the finale of Star vs the Forces of Evil, I get that there was a portal which resulted in the cleavage of Earth and Mewni, but what caused that portal to open?

In Star vs the Forces of Evil, especially in seasons three and four, a lot of attention is given to Meteora, Queen Eclipsa's daughter. Yet, she plays a minor role during the final episodes. The same is with Toffee, the bad guy at the end of season three. It is heavily implied he would make an ap...

When I think of weapons made of ice, I usually think of Stahlrim weapons from Skyrim, do the ice weapons from the show have a name? What about the books?

Imagine an alternate version of The Return of the King, in which Gandalf travels to Tom Bombadil's house after the Battle of Helm's Deep/Hornburg in order to give the Palantir to Tom for safekeeping. If Tom was to agree to this and then decides to hold the Palantir in his hands, after Sauron app...

There is a comics named JLA/Avengers in which the two superhero teams clashed with each other. These teams belonged to two different Earths, what was the number stated on the Earths and what does it signify?

Madam Hooch role is described as Hogwarts' flying instructor. Even though she does teach magic, she is not addressed as a professor. I would imagine that, just like in the real world, to be called professor you would have to study yourself and have a degree, however, when Hagrid became the 'Care ...

This is a short story that I read in one of those many magazines that I was reading in the mid-to-late 1980s. It was most likely published between 1960 and 1985, but I'm not 100% certain. One scene of the story (I think near the beginning) features a man (the main character?) eating a meal serve...

At least 15 years ago, I have read a comic book about a hero from our world being summoned to a magical realm (it might have been a different planet). The magical realm is divided by colors: red, blue, green and yellow. The humans have those skin colors as well, except there are humans with no co...

During the battle between Renji Abarai and Byakuya Kuchki which takes place soon after Renji learned Bankai, Byakuya indicates that being able to release ones Shikai without using the release command indicates that a Shinigami has learned Bankai. As shortcuts go, this seems like a useful one (e...

I'm looking for a book I read in the early 1990s that is probably a bit older than that. I picked it up in paperback off a used-book rack in bad condition, and it had one of those extra-generic 1980s painted covers, so might have been a decade older. For some reason, when it came back to my mind,...
