Top 5 fictional worlds (any medium) that you would like to see an RPG set in
1) The Coldfire Trilogy : mostly for the genius magic system which I always found very interesting and filled with potential. Also like the mix of standard medieval fantasy with SF elements via planetary romance which allow for some more modern elements in the mix in interesting ways.
2) Fables (the comic book series) or Princess Tutu - co ex equo they have similar theme in term of intersection between fairy tales and reality, in a meta-ish way, but with very different treatment. I think I've seen tries with Fables especially that didn't seem too bad (using the nWoD system), though there's always the risk to mix in too much ideas and concepts in a similar manner to the way Changeling the Dreaming did
3) This Alien Shore : yes another Friedman books, what can I say, I love her setting building. There aren't a lot of SF settings for RPGs and those that do exist tend not to interest me (often to movie/TV conceit of Sci Fi for my taste, or a contrario, to hard SF). This Alien Shore hits a sweet spot of intriguing social SF in a way that's a great set up for adventuring still; holds a lot of diversity of cultures while still being a network, and has a reasonnable justification for having "aliens" who are not too-aliens (they're actually humans!). Had some of the other cool details in the various societies depicted in the book you have a good set up - though one might want to get inspiration from other stuff to properly thicken it.
4) Anita Blake : don't laugh, I really think the series - early on that is - had some pretty neat and solid ideas in term of world building / setting that I wouldn't mind seeing in a contemporary supernatural game overall.
5) American Gods : because if there's something Scion made clear is that there's a need and potential audience for a game that does that; it's just that Scion is a terrible game for it. But yeah, something that plays up Mythological gods & heroes and monsters in a modern setting would be really rad.

(while I doubt Draegarea would have make the cut anyway, though it would make the long list, I have to mention here that House of the Blooded seems to me perfect to make an adaptation of it)

3) Usual Suspects ^_^
4) Watchmen
5) Petshop of Horror

incidentally I was the person who created the Bittersweet Ending page on TV Tropes wiki :3

3) Flying horses / Pegasus, see 1)
