This is probably Welcome to Mars by James Blish.
It did not, in fact, take him very long to find out the trouble. It
was in the one logically vulnerable spot in the system, and the one
about which he could do precisely nothing: the 6BQ5 power tube. It was
burned out.
So, I'm looking for the title of a short story collection. I'm going to briefly describe a couple of the stories:
A fire salamander girl getting stolen and taken to hell, where her creator had to rescue her.
A were-cougar (?) has a child with a man and leaves him. I might be mixing up the gen...I've been talking to my friends about Oppy (Opportunity) and I mentioned reading a short story pertaining to it in a Science magazine. Now I'm dumb and it's been well over a year since reading it and I'm not 100% sure what magazine it was in. I am like 80% sure it was called "The first" and due t...
This TV show is from 2000-2007.
It's about a group of people and how they interact with animals... and one episode was about fireflies, a man turned into a fireflies and with a flashlight made the rest of the fireflies follow.
They had a logo which helped them transform.
The book was probably made in the 1990 or 1980. on the cover is a man in dark clothes with dark hair holding a medusa head at the head of a table during a feast while everyone turns to stone. Including a Fat Kind and a girl holding a wine jug.
In the book it talks about a kid who works in the ki...
I'm looking for this anime where this girl had like this over-powered revolver and it hurts her to shoot it. In one scene she runs out of bullets and has one as a necklace and she shoots it and kills the bad guy or monster. I can't remember what it's called.

This has bugged me for some time re an anthology of Dark Fantasy stories I read in the 1980's. The basic synopsis of the short story I remember best is that an assassin is contracted to kill a politician, little knowing he is an alien and is expecting him. I was sure the story went by the title...
Does someone know the name of a isekai manga where the MC is summoned by a goddess but then leaves him stranded because he is not good looking. Also fight a dragon and a giant spider that turns into a woman.
I have a computer science degree. I work in IT, and have done so for many years. In that period "classical" computers have advanced by leaps and bounds. I now have a terabyte disk drive in my bedroom drawer amongst my socks, my phone has phenomenal processing power, and computers have revolutioni...
Harry lives in 4 Privet Drive, Ron, The Burrow and Sirius 12 Grimmauld Place. But where does Hermione and her Muggle parents live?
I read a book about space travel and stuff.
So these people have the genes of earth and want to take it onto a different planet that is not polluted like crazy. The main character (Red, I think) keeps having hallucinations of his pre-clone life.
I've read the first and second but it says trilogy....
Powers
Gives “orders” to paper-- stuff like following specific people, folding into specific shapes, carrying very light things (like powder) around, but limited to paper.
Feel free to come up with extra stuff around the power
As a matter of policy, awarded badges do not get reversed.
The only exception to this rule is fraud. If we are made aware of badges that were awarded fraudulently (sock puppetry, maliciously-intended voting irregularity or other), they will be revoked.

I know there is a limit on how much Voldemort could tear his soul, but if he surpassed the limit his soul could handle, and he died: wouldn't he just be resurrected by one of his horcruxes yet again? Is it some kind of loophole?
Fantasy Novel - set in different world - the protagonist is a warrior from another land - he is rescued and helps a city defend itself from assault but this city is doomed - a second assault by demon / ant like creatures comes and they flee on a boat to an island sanctuary of a ruined civilizatio...
I started watching Game of Thrones again and I want to transition to the audio books for the different story lines. I hear most of the diverging in story happens during season 4, does that mean that the recommended transition from the show to the books would be after season 3 finale S03E10 into t...
There is no explanation given. Much like Brewster's ability to take on the pain of others is never truly explained, so too the phones ringing is an unexplained miracle. As readers, we don't even get the details other than that it happened after Tennyson, Brontë, Cody, and the parents had finally ...
Animorphs
Well, that's easy: they're numbered 1 to 54, after all.
Megamorphs
The Megamorphs books tie into the main series, so they're also easy to place:
The Andalite's Gift takes place between book 7 and book 8
In the Time of Dinosaurs takes place between book 18 and book 19
Elfangor's Sec...
I'm trying to recall a short story I read somewhere in 2017-2018, most likely in an issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction published between 1980 and 2012.
The story was about a man who gets in his car - I believe coming back from work one day - but when he starts driving, he discove...
`In Oathbringer, Fabrial's are explained as working by means of trapping a spren. But there are multiple instances of Fabrials requiring Stormlight (Spanreeds, etc.) to work. So which is it?
I've noticed many similarities for example:
the lion symbol on the suits of armor looks exactly the same as Harry Potter's Gryffindor lion
there are 7 books in the Narnia and Harry Potter septuplegies
the main characters are part Muggle or full Muggles
I'm sure there is more I haven't liste...
There was a family Mom dad and 2 kids in a village in the US (maybe) some sort of intelligent microbe would die when humans exhaled CO2. So people were given a suicide pill - father and son escape...
It's a pulp fiction novel (likes of Surender Mohan Pathak) that I read when I was 7-12 year old of age (I'm 26 now), so around 1997-2002.
There is no information on the Internet remotely related to it. I guess the author is not well known (the same could be said for majority of Indian literature...
