I Find Samuel R. Delaney's definition of scifi and fantasy helpful in this sense.
Sci-fi: "this has not happened"
Fantasy: "this could not have happened"

Science-fantasy, therefore, would be: "this could not happen".

There's more overlap than you might think, and the two genres are compatible. It just has to be properly finessed.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Good point. But Delaney, for one, didn't let plausibility get in the way of his telepathic bisexual space-pirate poet-spy have a swashbuckling adventure.

[ketita]

Haha, definitely.
But see, I think there's absolutely no reason why plausibility should *get in the way* of your story. With proper building, you can make lots of things plausible!

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Most science fiction routinely violates special relativity and thermodynamics, and isn't that gentle to biology either. Still, they are great stories.
