I wouldn't. For all that I write about that sort of thing, I would never leave Earth. It's home.


Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) At one time I would have said no but as I've gotten older the idea of going somewhere new actually appeals to me. I'd go to a tropical location without any problems no matter where it was. So maybe if the world has a tropical region for me to live :)

Sarah (skane) | 17 comments Of course, no one would want to leave loved ones and never see them again. If my loved ones came too, then maybe. It would be really exciting to go to a world that had only a small population of people or sentient beings.

I wouldn't go, even if there were a way to come back. However, I like to leave the option of coming home open to my characters.
Personally, I'm afraid of flying. Well... maybe more afraid of falling a mile through the sky and stopping really fast.....


Pamela(AllHoney) (pamelap) It's strange but I have no problem with flying but the thought of going down in the ocean in a submarine really scares me. Go figure!

And, yes, leaving family would be most difficult. So I would have to have at least my hubby and daughter with me, too.

Sarah (skane) | 17 comments My husband convinced me a few years ago that I would be fine going up in a glider, and I would have no problem with air sickness. I don't think it was the going up in the air part that bothered me, because the idea of gliders appeals to me. I think it was the claustrophobia combined with fear of air sickness that made it such a bad experience. Fortunately the air sickness held off until five minutes or so after we came back to the ground. Then I was so sick! So, no cramped spaceships for me, not unless they put me in cryogenic suspension or whatever.

Mari (marismutduchess) When I was a young graduate I would have went in a heartbeat and never looked back. I would go now if I had the return ticket in hand. I can't suppress the scientist in me but I'd worry about my family.

Pamela, I'm with you...I cringe at the thought of being submerged in water. I have no idea how submariners deal with it. I suppose the same could be said about space flight but there is a definite psychological difference between the cold, dark vacuum of space and the cold, dark pressure underwater. Perhaps I’m just a wee bit aquaphobic. :-)

Cinquetta (darkfaer) | 10 comments Yes as long has parasdis environment and there is no crazy creatures. Also as long I can come back home to Earth. I don't mind visiting I just don't want to stay.

ValerieC (keyboardkat) | 14 comments As with all things, it would depend on where and with whom. But, this planet is getting a little scary, IMHO.

I'd have to agree with you yet again Valerie. This planet is getting a little scary. I don't think I would ever willing leave it, but I'm still hoping they'll ship a lot of people off it. Starting with the very rich. Let THEM go start a new world!


message 11: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (skane) | 17 comments It's getting scary enough these days that another world might seem welcoming. Alternatively, shipping the people away who are wrecking everyone else's peace would work. I have noticed that most of your worlds, Kaitlyn, mirror ours in this way. Government doesn't look out for ordinary people, because they seem to be too busy looking out for big business. I suppose that's the key to it all. I notice this in other sci-fi author's books, as well.

Hi Sarah- I feel its a theme a lot of my readers can relate to. I know I certainly can! I've been very uneasy about the way things are going.


message 13: by Therinia (new)

Therinia  (therinia) It would be enticing. I think it would depend on the world and who I was going with. I've moved so many times, I'm not really attached to a specific place. I think it would be an adventure to travel and see different worlds. Try new foods. See new things. I guess that is why I like reading sci-fi romances so much.


message 14: by Pam (new)

Pam | 6 comments Nope. I don't like driving over tall bridges, or flying, and I don't do rollercoasters anymore. But, I'd be REALLLLLLY tempted if a tall, dark, well built God was doing the inviting/ kidnapping, lol!

I think, for me, there would have to be the option of coming home one day. That's why I always leave my heroines that option. I would have to have it. It makes staying a choice.

Misty (millywv) | 3 comments Excellent point, Kaitlyn. I have to agree!
