voice your opinion.

Well Mey you raise a good point,

Personaly I consider anything fantastical, be it shooting flaming bullets or the aforementioned dungeons and dragons, to be fantasy. I draw the line when the writing in question begins to fit better into another genre, most commonly sci-fi or general fiction.

 

Fantasy, I think, would be anything that doesn't exist in this world, or anything that wouldn't normally happen. 

my only qualm at all with your theroy is where dose fantasy end and science fiction begin?

dose fantasy end?

is the catagory mearly sci-fi/fantasy?
