I have done some fantasy tales which I would like to must but I don't know where. SF is nearest, but not really the right place for knights and dragons, magic etc. Could we have a section for Fantasy? Or even rename SF as SF/Fantasy? What do other people think?

I don't see any reason why SF shouldn't be included in main stream fiction. I occasionally dabble in SF, Kim Stanley Robinson, and William Gibson and I don't see them as a sub genre - it's all fiction, some good some bad (not the two authors I mention though)

All I ever right is fantasy. I suppose a SF/fantasy would be good cause fantasy isn't really SF. But hey what can you do?

Good point Moya and Brisp. A new catagory would definitely be in order, I think.

Martin, No-one suggested SF was sub-genre, as far as I can recall. Just a different genre, as in humour/sci-fi/erotica/fantasy etc. It's...um...so's people can immediately go to where they want to be. They do it in libraries too, you know.
