I've always wanted to live in any generic fantasy universe, not necessarily as a warrior or mage but just somewhere I could see magic on a regular basis. If I had to choose a specific world I'd want to work in Dream's library.

Realistically, I'd be the gopher for some big name character in some modern fiction. So someone like Dan Brown, Stuart Woods, Vince Flynn, that sort of thing.

Honestly though, I'd love to be in something awesome.

Transformers (movies). All the humans seem to do is run from the decepticons, I do parkour and I'm generally good at fleeing so I'd fit there.

I have too many I want to be in. And if my memories of the present disappear when I enter this Fictional world wouldn't my personality disappear as well.

this may sound weird, but i'd like to be in neighbours. not just in the show, but in the actual world. where it's the norm for ten relationships to rise and fall in the space of a couple of weeks. My main reason?: so i could point out to them how absurd most of this stuff is. a single street doesn't usually run in with a maniac or serial killer, let alone ten or twenty in the course of the entire show. Also, i would be able to tell people to snap out of their bullshit, let the guy have his child, who cares if your ***** went to london, you can go too.

bring on the "Ha ha you watch neighbours!" comments.
... brilliant!

I think I might fit well into either The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy or The Rocky Horror Picture show

I would be in Excel Saga! Happy as either Excel or Hyatt, because I'm loud, random and excentric but also a quiet girl who follows instructions and bleeds alot.

Who or what I would be in a work of fiction?
Not really a though one. The hardest part of this question is deciding what fiction I'd want to be in.

One thing is certain though; I'd DEFINITIVELY want to participate in a sci-fi story, either near future or distant future. I like plumbing and running water, thank you very much.
Sure, high fantasy sounds great, elves and magic and all, but I very much like hospitals and general healthcare. You don't see that in fantasy, do you now?
Imagine it yourself: Suppose you are this baddass generic warrior person, RARWH Slayer of a thousand men! And then one day, oops! An orc lopped your arm off. You're deep in the forest, all you got is the battleaxe in your remaining hand and the clothing on your back. In our time, or the future, you'd survive. Disabled, yes, but alive. You'd probably have your cellphone within reach, and a medical rescue chopper would come and get you.

But right there and then, your best hope is to find a mage or a healer or some such, and oh you are in the forest with a dead orc. Blood loss and gangrene is your company for the next couple of hours as you frantically search for the way back to that old settlement over the hill, and even if you make it there's no guarantee that they can do anything for you!

No thank you, science fiction is the path for me. Evil totalitarian regime, strict empire or bureaucratic senselessness, As long as I have electricity and a working toilet I'm satisfied.

Now onto the real reply then;
I'd be delighted to be one of the citizens in the first foundation in Asimov's "The foundation" series. Specifically I'd want to be in the story 'The Merchant Princes', taking place at roughly 175 F.E.

Superior technology and power? Yes please. I don't care what role I play in society, I'd fit in somewhere. Probably as a nurse or the equivalent of that. Yay life enhancing gizmo's!

Why, I'd be out hanging with Dorian Grey of course.

Ludeness and debauchery abound my friends, pass the gin.

I think I'd make an interesting character in one of Camus's works. I would certainly be a side character, probably not even well acquainted by the protagonist, but interesting and somewhat unhinged in an existential kind of way.

Either that or one of Mark Twain's works, seeing as he's my favorite author.

A raffish and slightly crazy land-pirate from Fever Crumb, with a crushed top hat (rescued from a land-barge wheel) and a basic automatic rifle.

Any Iain M. Banks novel about the Culture - seeing as I'm a technophile with very little aspirations in life except the pursuit of pleasure and the creation of mechnical things, I figure I'd fit in perfectly.
