Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Fictional Things I Wish Were Real

 


The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews requests that you share your link in their weekly post on their website (which will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated. 

Happy Wednesday! Guess what? It's snowing again. We aren't expecting much, but Mother Nature could put a lid on it for a while. 

But on to more important things. Today, the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is all about fictional things we wish were real. My list might surprise you, since I am not a sci-fi or fantasy fan. 

Transporter (Star Trek)

Though you will rarely catch me reading a sci-fi novel, I used to watch the original Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Considering how much driving I do in a year, I would love to have a transporter. Think of how much time I would save going to and from appointments. 

Lightsabers (Star Wars)

Though I am not a Star Wars fanatic, I did enjoy the original three movies. I would love a lightsaber, because they are just so cool and make the best noise. I would need a training one, though, because it's not like I want to hurt or kill someone with it. 

Time Travel Portals (Charmed)

Now, we are diving into fantasy, another genre I don't read very much of. Time travel, however, has always fascinated me. Whether the portal opens with a spell or an artifact, being able to move forward or backward through time allows for thrilling exploration. In my list of story ideas, I have a middle-grade book about an artifact that allows the children to go back in American history. Not sure if it will come to fruition. 

What is something fictional that you wish were real?
