I read a lot of both SF and fantasy. Most communities I've dealt with have commingled the genres, in part because the line between them can be blurry. Is this community supposed to be strictly SF, or are discussions of fantasy also okay?

I was going to post my mini review of Days of Shattered Faith, by Adrian Tchaikovsky, but it's clearly fantasy (though Tchaikovsky writes quite a lot of SF), so I thought I should ask.

Edit: it seems like I've had pretty good response to the question, and the vast majority would prefer to be more inclusive rather than draw a line. I'll go ahead and continue posting both, though note that so far a moderator hasn't weighed I in, and that could change things.

In my opinion, sci fi and science fantasy are fair game, but personality I would abstain from posting fantasy alone, without sci fi elements.

I'm not a moderator, nor worried about what other people might post. If someone decides to post all their GoT/LotR/whatever content here I'll downvote accordingly, but if the consensus is that it's fair game, I'll just block it.

    Okay thank you. You're one of the only ones so far who would prefer we really do keep it to SF, but I totally understand that position.

    My preferences are just that though, mine. Doesn't make it the right answer. I appreciate you asking the community how they'll feel about it, but don't put too much stock in what that one crotchety old guy (me) thinks. It's a community for everyone!
