MODERATORS
Someone once said that fantasy is a made up world where the author creates the constraints, and science fiction is a made up world where physics creates the constraints. I kind of like that definition.
For hard sci-fi I agree, but for soft one the difference becomes more and more tenuous.
Which is why I disagree with the people saying SF and fantasy don't belong together. Some soft SF is basically fantasy set in space, or whatever.
