I share your feelings pretty much completely. M John Harrison wrote a really great essay on the tendency in fantasy called "What It Might Be Like To Live In Viriconium" and it's one of my favorite things ever written about fantasy as a genre. But it's equally true of SF, I think - the Campbellian, big idea, extrapolation of the future model is one way to do SF, but it's so, so far from being the only way of doing it. I'm much more interested right now in science fiction and fantasy stories that are just stories. I'm not sure there's anything that interests me less than a rigorous magical system. But it's frustrating because those are very popular ideas.
