The debate between what makes Fantasy and Science Fiction different to each other has been explored in various ways, and in the end we always come to the conclusion that these literary genres are very similar in some things and very different in others. I celebrate both, and I hope that the world will always love and celebrate them as well.
Some time ago, I read what somebody famous said about it. I do not recall exactly who it was or what were the exact words, but it was something like this: Science Fiction is about things that could happen for real, but maybe we would not want them to happen, while Fantasy is about things that cannot happen but we would like them to be real.
I think that's a good definition, even though the matter can be much deeper than just that.
These days, I have been thinking a lot about all of this because my next story Freya 7 could be a Science Fiction work. At least, that's what I am going to try even though it could turn out to be a Fantasy story after all... It's a story that I look forward to, because it has loads of potential and it's going to be something new for me.
My other idea for a Science Fiction story Seven Heaven is one that I like very much, but I am afraid that my scientific knowledge does not reach far enough to complete a work in that scale.
