If you could live in any fictional world, which one would it be?

[Bankai]

And why?

I'm gravitating towards Storybrooke from OUAT

Tertius, in Heinlein's world. Why? The medicine! The dentistry! The several hundred year lifespan with time to study everything I wanted to!

Failing that, Ambridge, because nobody in Ambridge ever has any lasting condition or illness that leaves them unable to do things; even people of eighty-plus who have had a stroke gaily climb the steps at Whitby without a second thought, and people who have had thyroid conditions miraculously never need to do anything about them ever again, and if you get past about sixty you die of armchair or sitting under a tree in your seventies or eighties with no painful nuisance involved.

I can’t decide between Fairacre or Thrush Green, the village the Larkin family live in, Brambly Hedge or Bertie Wooster’s London. Or the lovely thatched pub in Rosie Is My Relative.

Ooh yes, Cabot Cove is a good one!

I would like to live in the Culture, from the Iain M Banks novels. The best of all possible worlds.

I'd like to be a Smurfette

They are freakishly happy

Ooh @Timeforatincture is that the same Diana Wynne-Jones world as the Year of the Griffin? I really want to be/be friends with a griffin. They’re lovely.

I'd like to have lived during the thirties in America and experienced all the Hollywood glitz and the fantastic composers.

I'm going for Anne of Green Gables.
So innocent and peaceful

Either the Harry Potter world or Outlander, the Highlands 1745. I can go to Culloden anytime but it wouldn't be the same.

Themyscira with Wonder Woman and the Amazonians. No annoying men, plenty of sunshine and spending my days training to be a bad ass warrior woman.

Another vote for the Enchanted Wood!
Or Harry Potter world 😃
Or wherever the Five Find Outers and Dog lived.

@StumpyinSomerset

Oh yes, definitely after Magus! I forgot to say that

I quite fancy being Mother Heggie with my pet raven, in my wee cottage

Too many to choose from!

Hogwarts / HP wizarding world is an obvious choice - particularly if I can learn the charms that make the house clean itself.

I love the idea of being a shadowhunter, and drawing runes, and having a parabatai.

I could also learn magic on Roke, or live in Chrestomanci’s castle, or be a vampire with Lestat, or a follower of the Greater Path on Midkemia... too many choices!

I always wanted to live at 221b baker Street with Holmes and Watson. But I don't want to be the house keeper. I'd just be another lodger.

"I would like to live in the Culture, from the Iain M Banks novels. The best of all possible worlds."

Same here (I've always dreamed of living in the Culture) - especially because it basically includes the option to live in all the other worlds mentioned in the thread as long as you like.

I'd like to have spent a summer in West Egg and gone to Gatsby's parties.

Chrestomanci doesn't live in the same world as Dark Lord of Derkholm and Year of the Griffin.

If I were choosing a DWJ world I think I'd go for Dalemark after the end of all the fighting, as it appears in Crown of Dalemark. More restful!

BTW, Diana and Wynne were her forenames; Jones was her surname. Not that it matters, except if you're trying to find her books somewhere and they may be under W instead of J.

Not Hogwarts, anywhere but Hogwarts! The place where (beyond the fighting) magic does nothing more exciting than you'd get with a clever remote control. The place where nobody ever reads a book for pleasure or has any interest in nature for its own sake or looks at an art work for its beauty or creates anything for the satisfaction of doing it or indeed seems to do anything much just for fun. Where training basically teaches you to wave at things so you don't have to get up from the sofa, but doesn't give you the slightest insight into how nature hangs together or how people live in other countries, where history is so boring everybody falls asleep and no foreign languages are taught, or indeed even basic maths. Where music is not taken seriously, and drama and poetry hardly seem to exist at all. I find my own living room a far more exciting and stimulating place.

corythatwas, that is a stunning set of reasons which I completely agree with.

Far Far Away

St Mary's Institution of Historical Research
Thursday Next's world
Discworld
Pern
The Culture
USS Discovery (or Enterprise - any of them would do)
if only!

The Enchanted Forest/Storybrooke

The Faraway Tree

Middle Earth but only with the elves (so Rivendell)

Hogwarts

Pern is top of my list and always has been.

Harry Potter is another possibility if i could be a witch.

I’m betting no one says handmaidens tale 😂

I’m with the Harry Potter fans Plus Narnia.
