Q: Book about fantasy world with mage colleges that battle with Armies

ChrisLooking for a book or perhaps series. I am thinking pre 2005 as I only have vague memories of reading it in my teenage years. Of what I can remember these are the main points.

Q: What was the Emperor's 'official' reason for removing the Harkonnens?

Nu'DaqWhen Emperor Shaddam ordered the Harkonnens leave Arrakis and the Atredies(spelling?) to replace them, did he give an 'official' reason for doing so (by official I mean a reason that would satisfy people so they would not suspect it's a setup to rid him of a potential political rival)? I seem to ...

Q: Book called “The Inheritors” from 70s or 80s

AmandaI’m convinced I read a book called “the inheritors” about two kids living in a post apocalyptic society. I don’t know the author and all searches on this title find other books that aren’t it… It’s actually very similar to “This time of Darkness” by Suzanne Martel, but after reading that I’m sure...

Q: Series of children's or YA books about magical dust

They featured magic users who I believe were hidden in normal modern society and used magical dust which they carried with them in pouches to power their sp...

Q: Help with identifying a story with wooden sailing ships in space and with FTL(?)

SkyeWhile similar questions have been asked before none of them seem to be the series I am looking for, so I'll try to explain the little I remember of it. It is possible that I misremember some things and that everything I recount here isn't accurate but this is what I remember: It was a story aimed...

Q: Manga about main character whose last name means 'salamander'

Xehanort 36I remember a story plot from this manga. The main character goes to elf country to help them with a fire monster problem that's been under the elder tree, and there's a new side character that hates humans because of their short life span.

How can I get a better answer to this? scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/263488/…
 
@Geneviève not sure
what about the current one do you not like?
@DavidW even if it is, it's not necessarily ontopic right?

I wrote in my bounty request what could be better

The current answer makes a claim that her accent is a Chicago accent but two comments elsewhere in the post disagree

And I sort of wanted that disagreement resolved

I've decided to write my own answer that echos what the first answer says, but avoids asserting that sit is a Chicago accent

So maybe the votes will end up telling me which view is correct

@Geneviève I'll wait and see

Votes should find the right answer :)

@AncientSwordRage True, especially since the question isn't about anything plot-related.

Q: Story where everyone uses AR goggles to obscure their miserable world

RyanI'm trying to locate a short story I read (or dreamt?) a few years ago. I remember the protagonist living in a future where everyone wears AR goggles / implants to overlay a filter on the world and make it nicer or more interesting. e.g. transform the world into a fantasy environment, make your p...

Q: Tracking down a scifi book where planet wakes up and defends itself

Fredrik HolmbergA strong memory is that it features a planet (forest on planet?) that has ancient defenses which, at some point, are revived to defend the planet against a hostile force. It has humans and aliens in it. I believe it's part of a trilogy. Aliens and humans are on one side of conflict against bad hu...

Q: Looking for children’s illustrated book about a boy, injured goose, and letting goose return to flock

Jutta SeelerThe Wild Goose Flies is in my memory as the title but that doesn’t bring up anything relevant when I search. The book was published in the 1960’s. The boy made a pen for the goose and nursed it back to health. He noticed her missing the other geese when they flew over, so he realized he couldn’t ...

Q: In Primer (2004) what do they mean by time moving "parabolically" inside the box?

Sam KennedyDuring the scene where the mechanics of the box are explained, Abe mentions that whatever is in the box moves parabolically between 'time A' and 'time B'. What does he mean by this? I've been assuming that time moves linearly between the two time points, so if the time was plotted on a graph it w...

Earth is attacked by an alien force who consider humanity an easy target. They are right and we soon find our technology no match for theirs. We aren't yet ready to defend our...
