If you could be teleported to another world, what world? To set up some basis, it has to be from any of, a book, novel or show, and if you choose to, what abilities would you want/have?

Pokémon is tempting. I want to live in a world where the worst of the worlds cataclysmical doomsday problems are at a level where random 12 year olds can solve them. 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cool question! I'm drawing blanks because it's been a while since I read books of any kind, so these answers may seem a little out of left field!  

Being in the dark academia world of The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova would be pretty cool. Dracula lives? He has vampires that work for him and keep pesky historians off his tracks? I get to travel to all these culturally rich places at a time in history when their traditions and cultures were still very much intact? Sounds pretty cool. As for powers or abilities... I just like history. I want to be one of the pesky historians that get visits from weird people that seem just a bit off (and kinda pale) and find rare manuscripts that lead them on a breadcrumb trail to Dracula and then (maybe) get to get rid of the dude once and for all.

Let me be a tourist in the roaring twenties of The Great Gatsby and check out his huge library filled with books that have never been opened and meet the most random people at his parties (everyone has a personality that's bigger than themselves, it seems!) and hunt Tom and Daisy down to bring them to justice! Glitz, glamour, and the cold smack-a-lack of getting a taste of your own medicine, my dear Buchanans! My power? Wealth acquired from possibly dubious means but wielded with a never-ending hope and optimism that is purer than all of their so-called legit old money.


Okay, so they're not epic fantasy books or anything like that, but the two of them are favourites of mine and off the top of my head the first ones I can think of! Other worlds I'd really love to teleport into off the top of my head are more like video game worlds and maybe movie/series worlds, not necessarily worlds from books/novels.

Madoka Magicka...oh wait, I can't be meguca, so nvm. Unless I can, then I'm all in.

otherwise, hmm, well there are a lot of magical and fantastic worlds that are better than our current one. Hence it's called a fantasy.
...Dark Souls world sounds cool. Just so I can meet my waifu, Yuria, and hollow together.

Yuria, you are like heroin! You make me feel miserable, yet so good! 


...also, pyromancer build woosh fireball 

Yuru Camp.

Mood, I just wanna live in a world where I can make friends with superpowered animals and know kids can take down crime bosses instead of having to work.

Hunting Dracula? That does sound fun, though I'd probably make vampire jokes throughout the hunt.

Generally I'd like to be a shapeshifter or a dungeon core.  Mostly I'd just want to be in a pleasant fantasy world where I could have a romance and a family.  Would be nice to have a creative job where my earthly education or cultural knowledge would get me a small amount of fame.  Being a healer could also be good if I myself was immune to anything contagious my patients had.  Things like a world with a system or a cultivation world sound tempting but might turn out to be too cutthroat for me.

I always wanted to be in the Redwall books when I was younger. The food sounded awesome. Plus who wouldn't want to be a sword-wielding mouse?

I hear the Warhammer 40k stories are a great place to be in

It sounds great, until your the sacrifice for one of the demon armies. 

The ability to have no abilties, and a world called Earth 

Send me to the pokemon world. Days alone without seeing other people? Adorable fantasy creatures to be my friends? Easy way to make money by beating up battling kids? Yes please send me there.

Other choice would be being sent somewhere I get to be a dragon. Don't want to eat people,just want to chill out on a pile of gold and jewels for a few hundred years.

Gold is cold and jewels are awful sparkly in the morning for a night owl. Give me a nice warm volcano lair any day.

I don't know much for pokemon, and definitely not Dark Souls or WarHammer40k. Adventures in real life are not fun. 0/10. Do Not Recommend. Rather read about them. Give me a world with lots of books for friends, a quiet library to read them in, and a kitchen to make tasty food- and most especially a place to have some nice quiet privacy to read for a few years or so. One social occasion per year sounds just about right.

I would absolutely love to tour Discworld, but for quality of life, something far-future like The Culture might be best. Of course, it's hard to beat power-fantasy, so maybe an easygoing light novel where earthlings get superpowers by default would be the way to go...

Or, being an author, I could always write my own. I've got an entry for that in my ideas folder, actually, titled 'The Reincarnated Author Wishes He Wrote Slice - Of - Life', where the MC wrote a really cataclysm - filled fantasy story; when he dies, he finds himself reborn into the world of his story, and has to run himself ragged using his authorial knowledge to keep the problems from happening in the first place. I'll probably never write it, though, because it would take twice the world-building to do it right...

I’m going with the sneaky answer of being a Prince in Amber in Roger Zelazny’s Amberverse. Being a member of the ruling house of the multiverse and the ability to just walk between infinite parallel dimensions would pretty much sort me. That’s before the possible shape shifting, sorcery, and the other fringe benefits. 

Dealing with all the relatives would SUCK, of course, but that’s not terrible different from real life so I think I could handle it. 😂

You know, I hate the genre combo but..... slice of life/comedy/romance....The ones where all problems are solved in an episode and there is no bad ending...


That way I can be happy and not have to worry my life will not go to shit again.
