A young girl comes to her father, paper and pen in hand, and asks for help writing a fan letter to her favorite athlete. Dad smiles, takes pen and paper away, opens his laptop and says, "Baby, this one's important... let's let AI take the wheel."

This is a great question, and a difficult one. After all, narratives are built upon conflict, and that means the worlds of our stories are often fraught, complex, or, sometimes, terrifying (e.g. The Road or Kindred). Even when book worlds don't directly feed a story's conflict, they often reflect it, adding subtext or amplifying motif. That said, Tolkien's Lothlórien stands out for me as a distinctly dreamy and intoxicating landscape—peaceful, safe, with golden autumnal leaves that hang all winter upon silvery tree limbs. As to what I'd do there... I'd just wander.
