I'm so glad that you asked about "sci-fi". It has always been one of my pet peeves that the Sci-Fi code is stretched to include most forms of fantasy.
before his sad demise a favorite character of mine Kilgore Pike explained it better than I ever could. to the hapless writer Hope who had mislabeled her story Sci-Fi
and I quote from

Science fiction? You call that Science Fiction? SCIENCE FICTION IS ABOUT ROBOTS AND RAYGUNS AND ROCKETS, NOT ELVES AND ORCS AND WIZARDS. Story wasn't that bad, BUT STOP LYING ABOUT SCIENCE FICTION! ok(5/10)

Sorry Kilgore, the story is really fantasy not Scfi but that's not an option in the story codes so Scfi was as close as it got. * Grin*

AS CLOSE AS IT GOT?
YOU STUPID COW!
SCIENCE FICTION IS ABOUT NOBILITY AND PURITY AND GOODNESS, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE EVER TRUELY WORTH WRITING ABOUT. IT WARNS MANKIND OF THE DANGERS THEY FACE!! IT PREPARES US FOR THE DANGEROUS FUTURE WE ARE ALL FACING NOW!! I KNOW WHAT SCIENCE FICTION IS!!! I WRITE SCIENCE FICTION…The tripe you write is just a slimy excuse to take pale virginal elfin maidens, strip them naked, chain them in dank dark dungeons and allow huge sweaty green skinned monsters to abuse them in every imaginable hole while slavering packs of wolves pace in the background impatiently waiting for their turn to OH! OH GOD! SHIT!!! NO!!
Alas Kilgore is no longer with us having died to keep Hope alive but we should all remember his wisdom and perhaps petition Jinn for a Fantasy code.![]()
Just a thought
