They communicate with the martians by drawing pictures. At first it seems to be going well. The human draws a right angled triangle labelled two sides III and IIII. The martian labelled the hypotenuse IIIII. Then the human draws the sun and planets. Tries to communicate that they are from the 3rd...

From what I can remember the theme is adult-ish and nsfw. But not necessarily an h-manga (for some reason). I believe I read it 5-7 years ago. It was still ongoing by then. So the plot revolves around this guy (MC) who is living with his aunt. Well, this "aunt" is studying a historical guy from a...

The small boy is born with the ability to teleport to other realities. His parents have been killed in a war. In another reality there is an elderly female bison like animal also telepathic. Her telepathy has always helped her care for her calves. This year she is elderly, she has not mated and w...

I think this is a movie around 2005-2010. I can only remember few scenes from the movie and I'm not even sure if they are in the same movie. From what I recall, the protagonist is 30 year old+ man who have a camera. I'm not sure how to classify it but the camera is like the same one that's used t...

In The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, Season 1, Episode 5, "Become", Rick and Michonne come across a sign at Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, that reads, "Protect the park from the people, the people from the park, and the people from the people." The idea of protecting people from other pe...

I don't know I read it but have been looking for it for months. I think the prologue or 1st chapter was where the princess beheaded her tyrant brother, the king, while he sat on the throne. She kicked him off it and sat herself down. She waits as the family blessing kills her off and she listens ...

Back in high school, around 1990, we read half of a short story where, to end a war, an alien and human have to battle it out. They are in an area that is separated by an invisible division, so they can see each other, and there is a tree on each side. I got to where the human was sitting under t...

At the beginning of the story, the man has no memory. Step by step he starts to recollect some details. He travels into a world and discovers that he created it. There is an antagonist, who tried to kill him and whipped his memory in the process, hence the memory loss. I would be happy if anyone ...

The 'purses' the accused man makes are large sealable tents for safely spending the night in. The pursemakers wonders how many of the people who do not speak a word in his defence had spent the night safely due to his skilfully made purses. Some people escape along a cliff. Humans from the stars ...

I remember watching a cartoon on VHS pre-2006 where some military-looking protagonists are stopping trying to stop a train from crashing into something (a port? some other facility?). They end up stopping the train by one of them shooting a rapidly-solidifying white substance at the some of the t...

Another question reminded me of this short story, which I read in an anthology before 2000. A time machine has been constructed. It takes up a lot of space, possibly the entire ground floor of a building, and uses a lot of power to project a small payload back in time. One man had gone back, and...

I'm trying to identify a short story involving replicators / fabbers / 3d printers. The devices use a carbon fiber that can be recycled, and that fact is important. I remember the use of the Harold McMillan quote: "Tradition doesn't mean that the living are dead, but that the dead are living". I ...
