What fictional place would you most like to visit?

Alice's wonderland

Neverneverland

Wakanda

Narnia. I would hang out with the talking animals, and avoid all of the thinly veiled Christian allegories.

No thank you, I am not interested in traveling to the palace and meeting Aslan. I am happy having tea with you, Mr Beaver, and the talking squirrels.

Yes to Narnia!

Safe Chicago

Guilder and Florin.

Westworld

Atlantis.

Peyton Place

Shangri-La

Amber from the Roger Zelazny novels

Collinsport Maine

There's a place I know where the hipsters go called Bedrock!

Twitch, twitch!

Hogwarts

Cabot Cove, Maine

Braavos

The Secret Garden

The Weasley house from Harry Potter

Rivendale

[quote] Cabot Cove, Maine

Forget it. If you even spent a weekend there, your statistical chances of getting murdered are astronomically high.

A place where nobody dared to go

The love that we came to know

They call it Xanadu

Springfield or Oakdale.

Llanview

Meet me at the Tan-O.

In bed with Malone (Dancer from the Dance).

Stars Hollow. The show is so twee but it’s the ultimate New England small town fantasy - and it’s really the only reason I ever tuned in.

Another vote for Cabot Cove.

Pandora in Avatar

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I’d go whole hog and make it a full course dinner. Would enjoy meeting all 7 snails in the escargot app as well as the cow that would eventually supply my porterhouse.

Hell, I’d even enjoy harvesting the potatoes and help processing them into the vodka for my martini.

And at the end of it all, I’d still steal Hotblack Desiato’s stunt ship.

Yup, Narnia. The snowy woods mentioned at R4, hot chocolate or tea with Mr and Mrs Beaver. Also the place in Voyage of the Dawntreader where the salt water tastes sweet.

The San Francisco of Tales Of The City. I’d love to live there but never in the real one.

Valinor

"words floating in the air

slowly fading away into the blinding sun

count to ten, fill your heart with prana

and a little of that self-loving, yeah?

temporary zen, our little heavens on earth

they’re everywhere but open your heart

if you want to see a piece of that heaven

the whole universe is a treasure chest

enjoy them fully until your visa on earth expires

when you’re done, find me in shangri-la

when you’re done, find me in shangri-la"

The Cosmos Cotillion!!!

Ohio.

The Land of Oz!

St. Mary Mead, Miss Marple’s village.

A place where nobody dared to go.

Themiscyra or Rivendell

The Dream World of Unknown Kadath.

The City of Ligeia.

The Tulgey Wood.

The Overlook Hotel (off-season).

Gormenghast.

Shadowlands.

Hill House.

Tony Stark Residence, Mr. Stark and Mr. Rogers are awaiting you in the jacuzzi.

The Ennis Mansion as seen in Blade Runner.

Me.

Charn before Jadis utters the Deplorable Word.

The towns of Hardy's "Wessex" would be a good choice for me, but I know that geography, fictional and real, fairly well.

Instead, I'll take a train ticket to Collins port, Maine for foreboding walks along the cliffs and take a meal and drinks at The Blue Whale while waiting for a taxi ride to Collinwood Mansion.

Salo, 120 Days of Sodom

Is this a scam thread to try and get people to give up their security question answers? My password is: password and my PIN is 1234.

I couldn't resist four days in Arkham.

But would skip Dunwich. MAGA Central.

The Land of Chocolate!

Haddonfield, IL.... Other than that one guy who shows up on Halloween, it's like the perfect Midwest small town.

[quote]A place where nobody dared to go.

Oops. I see R20 went there first.

Giovanni's room.

Arrakis

Yes r6! A thousand times. And before developers tore so many historical buildings down.

Didn't they use Evanston for Haddenfield? R47? .

Schitt's Creek.

Big Eden, from the film of the same name. Who wouldn't want to live in such an idyllic place and know so many genuinely nice people?

Mt. Olympus. Perhaps I could become a cupbearer. 🙄

Lochdubh, in the far North of Scotland, despite the Currie sisters.

Any place Cheyenne Bodie happens to be.

Krypton, before the unpleasantness. 💥

Discworld.

The all-gay prison from the Fat Albert “scared straight” episode.

Hundred Acre Wood.

The Shire, where the Hobbits live

I'd always like to visit Wuthering Heights, but mostly to advise Heathcliff that property in the Yorkshire Dales will be worth a mint some day so he shouldn't the property go to seed, even if it is a fuck to Hindley

Emerald City...

Oz. Sometimes I wonder if I'm already there.

The Shire, definitely. I'm basically a tall Hobbit anyway.

Derry.

Badger's Drift.

The house from Lost Horizon

A tour of Middle Earth!

Just not during an age-endong war, please.

Plato's Atlantis

Another vote for the Shire

The Bodega Bay of The Birds

Munchkin City

Hey, I went to Bodega Bay last week! It was cool and sunny, the wide bay sparkled and was dotted with birds and seals.

The real place is still pretty nice, 60 years later.

"For one brief, shining moment there was Camelot"

The Smurf village

Endor

Twin Peaks

Whoville

The Island of Summerisle. For the unexpeted exotic vegetation, the view, the interesting pagan mores to study.

I would just make sure to stay on the people's good side and not appear as a virgin to sacrifice.

Lothlorien

Bali Ha'i.

Rivendell

JUMANJI!!

Mayberry, North Carolina, in1960.

Middle Earth

Oz.

St Mary Meade

Brokenwood

221B Baker Street (the address is real, I know, but not with the living presence)

Wonderland

Never Never Land

The Secret Garden

Treasure Island

Hogwarts

R25 for Stars Hollow vibes visit Guilford CT

Brideshead Castle with the Marchmains in peak residence (also a real place but not quite as it was when Charles Ryder walked in for the first time).

The Planet of the Apes

Howl’s Moving Castle and live with the enchanting Howl as my boyfriend.

San Junipero

🎵 "Where everybody knows your name

And they're always glad you came..."🎵

R66 - but I bet it was all developed and didn't feel anything like a small, quite village.

No, Bodega Bay is still tiny, most of the houses are still old and quaint. There are a couple of newer McMansion neighborhoods, but they're off the highway and not really visible to tourists.

No, the town still has tge air of a quaint little old coastal town, if a rather touristy o b r.

Terabithia

Westeros and Essos

Goldfinger's volcano lair in You Only Live Twice.

I would so love to be part of the crew of the Enterprise from "Star Trek"!

In the medical corps, of course. Not as a "redshirt".

Hannibal's Dream Palace.

Planky Town, Dorne, a vibrant, moderately sized coastal trading town, awash with ‘Moorish Romanesque’ architecture, plentiful seafaring merchants from exotic ports unknown, and a liberated attitude toward the homosex.

Imperial Palace, Trantum during the twilight glow. Magnificent imperial structures set in endless formal gardens, open skies and privacy, set amongst an endless hyper dense technological megalopolis in all directions where one can escape to find the deeply hidden pockets of sexual debauchery one craves on any given day, among a hive of highly sophisticated, highly functional social complexity.

Lazy Town.

If Sportacus's ship is rockin', don't come a-knockin'!

The Enterprise D from "Star Trek: The Next Generation."

What a great question, OP. I'll have to think on this.

I'd start with the 1960s Hawaiian Eye world.

Lonesome Town. "Where the brokenhearts stay."

I would love to visit the Enchanted Forest of Enid Blyton's creation and meet the folk of the Faraway Tree.

Springfield.

Back to Kaua’i.

I want an apartment in The Arconia, and a holiday home on Deep Space Nine.

A restaurant. I believe it’s meant to be a place where you pick food from a big list and someone brings it to you.

Manderley, but you could never go back.

The first Thomas Kinkade painting.

I want to visit the Jetsons

The Garden of Eden.

The Valley of the Shadow of Death.

Heaven.

St. Trinian’s

Gwyneth Platrow's fan club.

I came here to say Narnia. Specifically the snowy woods and Beaver house from The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe and the place in Voyage Of The Dawntreader where the water is "sweet." And then I see that out of the whole series of books, R29 has mentioned these exact places. That's a strange coincidence, no?

It's been ~30 years since I last read those books and it was always The Dawntreader that stuck with me the most, I even remember there being a little poem or song about "where the waves grow sweet" and Lucy being desperate to get there. I was very obsessed with that book and that "sweet" water situation as a child.

Xanadu

The (actual) Good Place.

Heaven

The Pink Motel.

Where the boys are ('84 - I want to molest Conan).

[quote]Imperial Palace, Trantum

Did you perhaps mean Trantor?

R112 yes. Thank you.

WSM. Mary's apartment. Rhoda's apartment.

Tara, as cousin from Savannah visiting for a month in Springtime.

The Shire; the water gardens of Dorne; the Orchard of Lemuel Lim.

Cicely, Alaska

R116 agree with you on Water Gardens

Orchard of Lemuel Lim sounds vaguely familiar but I can’t place it, and Google is being a bitch with discovery. Would you remind me?

R96 I think it's called the Ansonia.

It's as creepy, almost, as the Dakota.

I'd prefer an apartment in one of those pre-wars overlooking the Hudson on Riverside Drive, facing west.

R100 But you can dream of it . . .

Jurassic Park

Miami. It was the town the Golden Girls lived in.

..down a river of crystal light

Into a sea of dew

The Brady Bunch home. I want to be the 7th Brady kid in the Brady universe, so I could help Marcia give Molly Weber a make-over, accompany Jan to the wig department where Marcia Wallace worked, and record "Time to Change" with all of them.

Wakanda or Asgard.

Well, I've never been to "me", so...

Tilling.

Sure, r118 - it’s from Clive Barker’s “Nightbreed” - it was a magical, extradimensional space made of special places from people’s lives - like the favorite corner of a sunny library, or your grandmother’s kitchen. See you in Dorne!

Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory (in c. 1971).

Solla Sollew, on the banks of the beautiful river Wah-hoo, where they never have troubles (or at least very few).

I'd visit the TARDIS and then travel to lots of places! First stop New New York.

I want to go to Galt’s Gulch in Atlas Shrugged. I want to see if John Galt is as hot as I thought he was when I was 16.

The Marabar Caves. (Faked somewhat in the film with matte paintings.)

r129 That place was a chemical factory in Luxembourg. You could probably still go.

Through the low door in the wall . . .

Not Paradise Island. Too many women. They can kick ass too.

The Blue Lagoon, with plenty of lube and sunscreen.

Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory.

Not pussyville

^ most posters went with literary places, you went with barely literate.

Originality. 👍

TNG holodeck, hopefully working

I’d like to visit the planet Sex-Tron

Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Gotham, with Joker as my tour guide.

Valinor - if I'm a powerful Eldar

Coruscant - if I'm a powerful Jedi

Earthsea - if I'm a powerful wizard

Hogwarts - if I'm a powerful wizard and BMOC quidditch player

R145 you have power issues which hint at a weird mix of inferiority and god complex

but I like your places

Dexter 9, the planet of the milk-fed boys

[quote][R145] you have power issues which hint at a weird mix of inferiority and god complex

Hogwarts was not a nice place if you weren't talented. If not for his friendship with the "chosen one" Neville would have been bullied all through school.

Have you seen now crappy the lives were for people on the lower levels of Coruscant? It's all airy and beautiful if you're a senator or rich or a Jedi, but there was a lot of resentment once you went underground. It was not a fun place.

The average person in Earthsea lived a subsistence existence. Did you see how Ged lived before Ogion took him as an apprentice and before going to Roke?

True, Valinor was beautiful if you were any of the Eldar.

Froopyland where I can hump everything.

Lakeview, from the TV series Upload.

Sesame Street.

Space 1999 has a lovely midcentury space timelessness about it.

Which fictional place would you most like to send your enemies?

Moomin Valley. Hibernate all winter and spend the summer plastered in a hammock.

I would combine Westworld with The Wonka Factory. The 1971 Wonka, not the Johnny Depp, pedo,shit fest version.

"Which fictional place would you most like to send your enemies?"

Hell, of course.

R39, there's a grim list.

Where “The Aristocats” lived

R145 What position will you be playing on the Quidditch field?
