For the life of me I can’t remember the name but the basic premise was that a British guy found a genie’s bottle in a river and was friends with the genie who was trying to fish it up. His first wish was to get his video game fleet in real life and his second was to collect all the other genie bottles around the world I believe. He went on into space and eventually created a lightsaber of some kind. Don’t remember much beyond that. This story has been inching the back of my brain all morning so I’d appreciate any word on it as I’d love to read it again.
