Comment Don't lump sci-fi with fantasy (Score 1) 854
Why do book stores always have one section they call sci-fi / fantasy?
They may as well create "Business / Cheap romance" and "Health / Quack doctors" sections while they're at it. What do they have to do with each other? I can tell you what: Anybody who can't distinguish sci-fi and fantasy is simply displaying a deplorable ignorance of science.
I understand that many people can't distinguish between those two, and I'm pretty sure most of them live in the Hollywood area. I accept that, but PLEASE don't propose to make a fantasy work (Star Wars desecrates that boundary) and call it sci-fi. Most of all, don't put that #$*(&#@ in the same section as my sci-fi!!!
