My thoughts on SF & Fantasy: * There are dozens of genres and sub genres in a big messy Venn diagram * pulp exists * sword-and-planet-exists * Hard SF, new wave, blah blah blah all exist * and they're all good * SF and F overlap at the margins * neither is a subset of the other
well, sure, there are also mystery and horror and romance and detective and ... but we're not talking about any of those in this thread

It's important in the context of this pile that we avoid even the appearance of impropriety. If only to keep ourselves humble. As you said, there are plenty of other top-level domains, which can be clustered a bunch of different ways.

Which does introduce the question of whether or not there are any of those other top level clusters that Fantasists (Fantasy Maximalists?) would demand be classified also as fantasy?
