Re: How do you guys define sci-fi and fantasy?

[(Anonymous)]

Science fiction, in my mind, is essentially sociocultural terms. Science fiction is what people who are in the tradition of science fiction produce - what the discrete subfield of science science fiction fandom and people and publishing produces and talks about and likes. I don't think of most supposedly science fiction movies as science fiction in a meaningful sense, because to me, they're not - they don't respond to the same concerns, they don't have the same background. Which is fine - this is fine and this isn't a negative thing about them. I just don't really think of them as science fiction. Within science fiction, I don't really care about subgenres, honestly.

With fantasy, it's just anything more or less modern that has unreal elements that don't have a scientific aspect, really. I'm not very picky in my definition of fantasy. I think the only useful distinction there is being able to talk about the certain kind of epic, multi-book fantasy that owes its origin to Tolkien, and being able to differentiate that from everything else - because that's the most useful distinction that's also non-trivial. So it's 'epic fantasy' and 'everything else' to me.
