[WP] Wishing stars - as it turns out - are like monkey's paws or genies. You have to be very specific about what you want, as you recently found out. You wanted to be in your favorite anime, not a slice-of-life about a dude who mows lawns!

[WP]You're a software engineer who is a communications geek. You learned Morse code. One day, on a whim, you blink "console" with your eyelids. A translucent overlay over everything appears, highlighting items of interest. A realtime programming loop prompt blinks eagerly

[WP]For centuries, the moon was a barren rock. But one day, it transformed into a lush, habitable world. The sudden change shocked humanity, and they scrambled to investigate. But just as quickly as it appeared, the moon reversed back to its original form, leaving scientists puzzled

[WP] Dwarves are the best siege experts, Elves are famous for their bows, Orcs are deadly warriors... but Human cavalry is the best in the world. No invaders have been able to stand up to the lances of Human knights or being surrounded by their horse-archers.

[WP] After the Christian Rapture happened to everyone's considerable shock, those left behind (and those born to them after) all had a strange, unremovable marking appear on their foreheads. It took decades to translate, but the result was horrifying; "Do not harvest, not fit for consumption."

[WP] Every work of fiction ever created exists in an alternate universe, and we've just made contact. The news has been met with a mix of awe, terror, and confusion. As a copyright lawyer working for Disney, however, your life in particular has become an absolute nightmare.

[WP] You feel as if everyday you’re plainly existing. You’re young but feel mentally exhausted and even your peers see you as nothing more than an accessory in the room. You decide that night you either will end the exhaustion or finally be more than just an accessory in the room.
