Help, I've been trying to identify this book for ages and Google is not helling. My memory is very hazy but I remember reading this story in the early 00s. From what I remember, it's about a man who travels to new city in a fictionalised country that seemed to resemble somewhere in the Middle Eas...

Originally, I was going to ask "How old is Cain Marco as the Juggernaut?" Then I got to thinking... technically speaking, Cain was always seen as Charles older half/step brother (depending on the version). However, Charles is routinely seen as more aged than Marco, who, without his helmet, is s...

I read a manga a while back about the MC being reincarnated into another world. He’s born into royalty, and is excited, but when they look at his level they’re in shock. His level looks super low (like level 1 or 2), but his level is actually so high that only the last number is shown (it’s a lev...

I have just finished reading China Miéville's Bas-Lag sequence of novels and am wondering if there are any short stories or interviews with the author where he states definitively what the history of Bas-Lag is? Is it for example an alternate earth? A a colony world after some catastrophic event?...

Just a food for thought, but what animals could be crossbred to create a Zouwu? Or what two animals does a Zouwu most represent?

As far as I can tell, Rowling had planned out A LOT of details for the main plot of all 7 Harry Potter books even before publishing the first. Such questions have been asked here before (such as this). But still, I can't help feeling that the plot of horcruxes weren't really thought about until ...

I've read this story something around 5 years ago, and it seemed to be pretty recent. The story was about a teenager who had the ability to get inside other people's body, to cure them. If I remember correctly, that ability was inherited from his father. When he is inside someone else's body, ...

Tell me why some Admirals of Starfleet have 5 stars on their collar and others with 3 on each side?

I wonder what species would come out if an elf (any kind) and a giant would have a child, and what that species would be called. Are there any fantasy stories where this has happened, and if so, which was the first?

I remember seeing this dramatic mini-series in the late '90s-'00s, but it may have been created in the '80s. I believe it was an adaptation from a book by a well-known author. The setting was in the US after some rapture-like event. I don't remember the cause, I just remember that there were a v...

So there was a book I read around the earlier 2000s, and from the writing I think it would have been published around the late 90s to early 00s. I think I read it from around 2006-2010? I remember quite a bit so i'm just going to infodump it here. The book is set in both Australia and England so ...

I'm looking for a short story about a giant bird that comes from another galaxy and all the scientists who talk to him commit suicide. I think it was written between the 60s and 70s.

Recently it was announced that question upvotes are now going to be worth +10 reputation rather than +5. When is this change going to have fully taken effect on this sub-site? Because I've seen loads of people say that they have recieved their additional rep, but I haven't changed yet, and I have...

In Star Trek canon at least 3 species have a humanoid appearance except for small differences: Barkonian, have a pattern on their forehead Bajoran, have horizontal creases across their noses Kaelon, have dark lines on the sides of their heads In canon, other than appearance do these races dif...

Probably everyone knows Umbrella Corp, Oscorp and Weyland-Yutani. All these corporations are driven either by a thirst for power, or by madness. But I wondered if there were fictitious organizations from books or films that committed even more heinous acts. Which of them is the most terrible a...

Inspired by Searching for video game like Xevious but with more interesting bosses, I'm resuming my search for a video game I played once or twice sometime around 1990, at an arcade in Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts. I made a strong effort to track down this game 10-15 years ago without success....

In the 1953 movie adaptation of H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, Martian manta-ray like war machines use two types of horrific weapons. The first one is a disintegration reddish Heat-Ray fired from a cobra head with a red pulsing eye mounted on a flexible turret. The second one called "skelet...

Simply put, who commanded the ships at the Battle of Geonosis? Is there a canon mention of Jedi leading the ships, or were there volunteers from member worlds?

I was reminded of this story by a question about "stolen time" that I found by accident on this community. Right now, I tried to find it again, but I failed. Anyway, my question is definitely not a duplicate, because in that case it was "stealing time" (by unit of hours), and in my case it is ab...
