Re: resurrection/dimensional travel in fantasy/sci-fi

AYRT--I dunno if you saw my reply to the anon questioning my originality--I'm writing a Once Upon a Time fic. Every time the writers of the show need a new villain or obstacle, and many times when the characters are searching for a particularly important mcguffin, it's found by traveling to a pre-existing fictional universe (Oz, Neverland, Wonderland, and A Land Without Color--basically a Universal/Hammer Horror pastiche, our world, and probably more to come) and usually this travel is accomplished via dimensional portal. I don't want to make up a way to resurrect a character or a place to do it, because the writers of the show I'm writing the fic for wouldn't, although they often butcher the canon they're pulling from.

Well, universe hopping was never specified in Grimms Fairytales or Hammer Horror stuff either. So you could use really anything with weird magic/science rules, and it'd work.

As for shows where the dead can be brought back to life pretty easily, Pushing Daises is what immediately comes to mind. Stargate has resurrection technology (and dimension hopping). But both are modern day and implied to be in our world. OUaT goes more for the classics, so even with those in place, it'd be out of place.

Something you could use would be Greek mythology. Several heroes actively pleaded with Hades to restore the dead to life and, in Orpheus' case, he almost succeeded. Very much like all the other worlds have their stories known in ours due to bleed through/the occasional traveller, you could make the same case for the Greek gods. Play around with it a bit, use them as either gods, or immortal sorcerers, or dead sorcerers that left behind useful macguffins.

DA

Iirc, the ones who almost succeeded [including Orpheus] actually went through Persephone most of the time, instead of Hades himself. At the very least, the two most successful in terms of either bringing someone back [Orpheus] or escaping Hades [Sisyphus] appealed to her, not her husband.

So, maybe the OP could have them have to take a way around whatever the main thing keeping them coming from coming back to life in a similar manner?
