No that is science fantasy scifi is just an abbreviation random thoughts Send a noteboard - 03/12/2009 06:27:36 PM
I think you have at least have some science in it to call it science fiction. The problem Hollywood tends to only do the science fantasy stuff.

Why are authors afraid of the science fiction label? Dragonsworn - 30/11/2009 05:41:35 PM 1373 Views
I think this may be true of genres in general Camilla - 30/11/2009 07:01:50 PM 716 Views
Aye, I agree. Rebekah - 30/11/2009 07:47:55 PM 657 Views
Did you borrow my signature pic or did you get it from the web, as well ? *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/12/2009 11:51:20 PM 288 Views

Genres have their use... LadyLorraine - 30/11/2009 08:24:29 PM 784 Views
Because then people expect them to be good Werthead - 30/11/2009 09:06:22 PM 734 Views
My favorite response. *NM* Aeryn - 03/12/2009 05:39:05 PM 291 Views
Because too many people will not even try a book that is labeled Science Fiction. Too intimidating? Tashmere - 01/12/2009 01:18:26 AM 694 Views
i actually have a recommendation for that... LadyLorraine - 01/12/2009 04:07:05 AM 673 Views
most people think Star Trek or Star Wars when they think SciFi random thoughts - 03/12/2009 05:28:05 PM 656 Views

all genre labels are deep, dark, thorny pigeonhole that authors can't get out of. temeraire - 01/12/2009 05:54:48 PM 669 Views
Basically what temeraire said- "genre" has a stigma, no matter how unfair it may be beetnemesis - 01/12/2009 07:43:50 PM 695 Views
most things that fit neatly into a genre is crap, though. Camilla - 01/12/2009 08:01:33 PM 669 Views
I know! beetnemesis - 03/12/2009 02:55:17 PM 628 Views
the answer can be glimpsed in Tom's thread imlad - 02/12/2009 01:22:20 AM 664 Views
mmmno Camilla - 02/12/2009 11:11:02 AM 752 Views

Because genres tend to market towards one particular group of people Ryan - 02/12/2009 04:38:00 AM 633 Views
Because 90% of what is written in the Scifi/fantasy genre is escapism crap random thoughts - 03/12/2009 05:26:59 PM 658 Views
But 90% of what is written outside the Scifi/fantasy genre is escapism crap as well. Werthead - 03/12/2009 05:29:20 PM 695 Views
I will reiterate: 92.689% of statistics used in an argument are made up on the spot imlad - 03/12/2009 05:39:36 PM 682 Views
I will have you know I made up that stastic some time ago random thoughts - 03/12/2009 06:19:29 PM 665 Views
I am not sure that is true random thoughts - 03/12/2009 06:23:04 PM 673 Views
True, but why bring Jane Austen conventions into the conversation? *NM* Werthead - 06/12/2009 06:24:18 PM 277 Views
What I wonder each time someone makes that remark... Legolas - 06/12/2009 06:44:28 PM 658 Views
