| | Science fiction and fantasy do bleed into each other, but they are completely different territories. | | | My thesis: since many of the elements in science fiction's toolkit have no basis in science, the genre is best called "science fantasy" -- fantasy that makes a few nods at pseudo-scientific "realism" but whose elements are basically magic in a lab coat. | | | My earlier article on the toolkits of science fiction and fantasy was hard to write. |

| Â | Science fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Some fiction sits fairly and squarely on the borderline, between science fiction and other genres; some writing defies categorisation. | | | A science fiction writer is generally not trying to write a history of the future that they believe will happen, any more than a writer of westerns is trying to create a historically accurate depiction of the old West. | | | While most science fiction is set in the future, most authors are not attempting to predict; instead, they use the future as an open framework for their themes. |

| | The abbreviation "sf" (usually spelled in lowercase, but occasionally uppercase) is often used to indicate either speculative fiction or what is traditionally known as "science fiction". | | | Writers such as Harlan Ellison (an outspoken advocate of the term) have deliberately rejected identification as a science fiction writer for precisely such reasons; they don't reject the science fiction genre (in which Ellison, for example, still participates) but they do reject pigeonholing their work. | | | This term is coming into more frequent usage among younger fans who wish to break down the literary barriers between the horror, fantasy, and science fiction genres. |
