Monday means Fantasy with Friends time! All the prompts are hosted at Pages Unbound, if you’d like to join in. This week’s prompt is about fantasy worlds you’d want to live in:
What fantasy world(s) would you want to live in? Why?
None, really. I know that’s a really boring answer, and it’s also the same answer I give to questions about what period you’d like to travel to. I like where I am, mostly! Obviously there’s things I’d change in the wider socioeconomic and political environment, if I could wave a magic wand, but I have few regrets about my life, where I live, what I do, etc.
I suppose if I’m to play the game here and pick, it’d have to be something with portal fantasy: I can be here, but I can also visit a fantasy world. Preferably one without dire events, thanks: Narnia or Fionavar in times of peace and plenty, say. I’m a wuss!
If the question were about visiting other fantasy worlds for some brief period, if I could get a safe conduct so I’ll be totally fine… well, there’s plenty. Middle-Earth, for one.
But mostly, I like this world, even with all its flaws.
Count me as another wuss! I’m totally with you–I’d like your idea of visiting instead. I’d probably be more open to the idea of leaving this reality if it was a short-term thing.
Visiting is much safer, ahaha. And we wouldn’t have to give up our creature comforts!
There might be one or two fantasy worlds I’d like to live in (The Shire, for example!), but visiting is probably the way I’d go – it’s definitely the approach I’d take to historical time periods anyway! There are several I’d like to visit, but none I’d like to live in permanently – I’m a bit too attached to the trappings of modern life, even if they do come with some downsides!

Exactly! There are sucky things about modern life, but so many conveniences too.
