Memetastic: Choose Yer Fantasy World

[serinde]

Your Score: Song of Ice and Fire

Your world is 53% Sophisticated, 49% Unconventional, and 68% Intense!

You have the dubious honor of residing in Westeros. I say dubious because while your world is very intense at times, and has tons of cool-yet-mostly-generic noble houses and knights and evil Others, it is also sophisticated and very, very real. Main characters have no innate protection against untimely death. None at all. Protagonists drop like flies. In fact, the only characters who die more often than protagonists are... everyone else. That's right. You'll starve, be raped, dismembered, frozen to death, or thrown off a thousand foot precipice. If you're lucky you'll just have your face split in two by an axe and live to tell the tale. But it's sure going to be fun for us to read about.

Your Score: Archform: Beauty

Your world is 80% Sophisticated, 32% Unconventional, and 29% Intense!

You've landed in the futuristic world of L.E. Modesitt Jr. (Think Archform: Beauty or The Octagonal Raven). Intelligent and plausable, yet typical and entirely low-key. You probably live on Earth several hundred years in the future. Your society is a whole lot like modern Earth's, but with its share of differences. You can access the 'net with a thought because of your nifty nanotech implants. You probably don't visibly age until the last few years of your life, when organ failure kicks in. If by chance the fate of the world ends up resting in your hands, it will probably hinge more on corporate takeover and less on killing Mr. Bad.

I'm a stick in the mud, but an interesting stick to talk to, apparently. :)

I notice that the writer of this quiz is apparently unfamiliar with Modesitt's earlier work (from before, IMHO, success apparently went to his head, made him impervious to editing, and so on).

For example, there's one that comes immediately to mind that's set on a slowly recovering post-apocalyptic Earth, far enough in the future that the reader has only a general idea of how far, where among the many and varied natural hazards are big nasty vicious mutant goats, which can easily kill a human with any combination of their needle-pointed horns, razor-sharp teeth, or PSYCHIC MIND BLAST POWERS. Yes. Goats. Fortunately, you as a character are likely not a regular human, but one of the relatively few with hereditary superhuman physical and mental abilities — to protect and serve. And I haven't even mentioned the cyborgs. Or their space warships.

So, yeah. I got yer “low-key” right here.

Correction: on further reflection, they're actually not goats. They're sheep. Carnivorous sheep.
