There was this Star Wars book I used to read back in middle school. It was about you being a trooper, and you got to decide what you did - i.e. commander, demolitions, etc. There were multiple endings. That's all I really remember of it. If any of you know, please let me know.

When asked what I like to read, I usually answer: "Science Fiction and Fantasy". But recently I got the impression that (in English) the two genres, when they are mentioned together, are usually said with fantasy first: "Fantasy and Science Fiction". I became curious and searched for the two phra...

I was playing the new Marvel's Spider-Man game for PS4 and was looking at all his new suits and it came to mind, is it possible for Peter Parker to change the color of his webbing? For example, from white to red/black etc.

Read this a kid and not in English, so bear with my recollections and I very much hope someone should be able to identify the story and its author.

Years ago, I remember reading a short story (as I remember it) about a couple whose prized possession is semi-living crystal structure that is sensitive to their relationship; it grows and maintains its beauty as a reflection of how good their relationship is. Because they are so invested in thei...

About 3-6 years ago I read a short story (online, I think) formatted as a series of emails sent by a spambot that had become self aware and was trying to make contact but, due to its origins, was writing in such a spam-like style (references to viagra etc) that every attempt was filtered by email...

In the Fairy Godmother’s factory in Shrek 2, there are pictures of the Wicked Witch of the West of a beautiful woman and of her as a witch. Could the beautiful picture be of her as Miss Gulch, Dorothy’s witchy neighbour?

In Avengers: Infinity War movie, But, what if resources aren't an issue for a race? And, what if the biggest asset of a race is people? In worst case scenario, if a race has only two surviving member, one male and one female, the race would be as good as dead after Thanos' snap (considering, t...

I read this manga a long time ago, it's drawing style seemed to look like Vagabond. There was explicit mature content in that series but the story & drawing style was thrilling & interesting. The story was about a fearsome samurai who has blood, strength & intuition of animals (may be wolf). Th...

I believe it is a horror or a thriller perhaps. The movie is a bunch of entries from the crew. The story is that a ship with a crew on board flies into a black hole, something like point of no return or that. They go crazy and eat each other.

I often see that green is closely related to necromancy. Images with necromancers have a lot if green in them. Necromancer magic has mostly green color. Is green the color of necromancy? Green color prevails over other colors in works related to necromancy, right? Almost every 3rd image about n...

I ran into "The Enchanted" 1984 - confused by the plot as a "related question" and I find myself intrigued by a secondary mystery. User HTG (not around since some time last year) mentions in the comments that they "had the book". Never saw the movie, but I have the book somewhere in my baseme...

The lasgun is described as the main weapon of the imperial guard with the imperial guard codex mentioning that one of the main advantages to it is the ability to easily recharge ammo cartridges if a guardsman is cut off from supplies. Autoguns have identical weapon stats but seem to be the prefe...

There seems to be a fairly common worldbuilding method now of setting fantasy works in standalone universes, completely separate (at least explicitly) from our own world. E.g. Star Wars, or Sanderson's Cosmere, etc. I previously thought the first fantasy setting to do this was perhaps Middle-Ear...

During the Aes Sedai interrogation of Semirhage, they are chronically frustrated by Rand's prohibition against physical violence as a form of torture. Eventually: Spanking hardly counts as torture. The pain is negligible, and Cadsuane even acknowledges pain would have no effect on breaking Sem...

I've been looking for that story for several years now, but I cannot find it anywhere and no search on Google turned up anything helpful. What I remember: The story involved some sort of attempt to conquer or infiltrate Earth, The main protagonists were two children or teenager, I think they w...

In every Mortal Kombat game, the characters with ice moves are able to completely freeze their opponents in-air, keeping them from falling and crashing on the floor. How do they do this? What about their abilities allows them to defy gravity while they're in affect? I know I'm not the first per...

I’m looking to identify a novel I looked at around the years of 1995 to 1998. The book may have been written before that, but the mass-market paperback appeared to be brand new. I have the unconfirmable impression that the person I was seeing at the time had recently purchased it. The title was...

Quite a while ago (early 90s, I think) I read a short story about a future in which American electoral politics worked in a radically different way: In the future, "voting for President" is still called that, but it's not the familiar democratic process we know. Instead, you go in and take a te...

Not sure if this is an appropriate place to ask. Anyways, I am looking for this one fanfiction where Vegeta ends up being transported to an alternate universe and into the body of a neko slave girl who committed suicide. Then Vegeta ends up on the run from Goku who became the ruler of Freiza's ...
