I read this in a science fiction anthology which I checked out from a public library in Indiana sometime in the early 1980s. I'm thinking no later than 1985. I don't know how old the book was when I saw it, nor when the story in question was first published. I may have run across a copy again in ...

What travels on this road? Shuttle craft with wheels?

How do the Q fit in on the temporal plane? The Q are an all powerful race, they can shapeshift and create life almost instantly but, whenever the timeline is altered what happens to the Q? In Shockwave ENT the timeline is altered in 2152 but the Q in the 31st what happened to 900 years of Q actio...

If you wedged a lightsaber between other sabers or into a material that a saber can't cut well, could you safely dangle off the handle without breaking it, like some sort of climbing spike? Canon preferred, but Legends acceptable (since I don't recall anyone trying this in the movies).

Is it possible for two benders to have a child who could wield both abilities of its parents?

In the beginning of Dune, Paul is basically almost killed if he fails the test of the Gom Jabbar. Jessica knew about it, but did Leto? If so, why did he allow it?

one of the great things about Dune is the way it works well as a standalone story with a satisfactory ending that, while leaving room open for more, gives a sense of completion to the story. When he wrote it did Frank Herbert plan for Dune to be a standalone story, or was it always meant to be p...

I used to read a lot of sci-fi stories when I was younger and I'm trying to track them down. Here is the plot line I remember of one. They are more based on the visual imagery I had when reading rather than the text so possibly there are some embellishments. It will be in a collection and cou...

I distinctly remember as a kid in probably the mid-90s watching a series of one-off sci fi shorts. Quite dark / hard sci fi. I remember one in particular about someone (maybe an assassin?) who had to keep shooting a crane so it wouldn't dock with her escape pod while she was trying got finish som...

Im looking for the title/author of this short story which appeared in an anthology. I think it was aimed at children - I read in the 80s in the UK. The plot line has a boy living in the South of England. In this future, everyone's short term memory is wiped each night - I believe as a way of kee...

Lakan Industries' holographic dejarik is known as a challenging board game that combines skills and strategy like our traditional game of chess. But in Rogue One we can see in Jedha, at Saw Gerrera's Hideout, some of his Partisans gambling with a dejarik -in a hand-carved physical version- where ...

I’m looking for a Harry FanFic which I read a few years ago, it was based at the end of the seventh year, Harry was asked to make a speech and it is revealed that he is evil. If my memory is correct there was also a dark-Harry+dark-Hermione ship.

This is bugging me because it's a random detail I remember that's stuck in my head. The main character is entering the lair of one or more vampires and happens upon a box of what seems to be sand and hugs of metal, which they eventually realize used to be a piece of electronics, but something abo...

I am looking for a specific short story I read in college. The story was written prior to 1981. The story was about an alien race that attacks a space station and dissolves the humans for a food source. The aliens place a few humans on a distant planet to breed... I am sure there is more to th...
