	The Australian Corpus of English
		To cope with this, and to include the nearest kinds of fiction which are written and edited/published in Australia, we allowed that bush narratives might be legitimately added to Category N (adventure and western); and that "romance" could include writing concerned with fantasy as well as novels focusing on human relationships whether romantic or not.
		The Australian Corpus of English (ACE) was compiled in the department of Linguistics at Macquarie University NSW Australia, from 1986 on.
		Category B The collection of editorials from Australian newspapers is necessarily biased towards the broadsheets, because of the brevity or absence of regular editorials from some of the tabloids.

	Science Fiction Writer Robert J. Sawyer: Canadian Science Fiction
		SF was invented in Great Britain (most critics cite Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein as the first true work of SF, and H. Wells (1866-1946) as its most influential early practitioner), and it became a commercial publishing category in the United States (starting with the founding of the first SF magazine, Amazing Stories, in 1926).
		SF set in whole or in part in a land that is identifiably present-day or near-future Canada is a rare commodity (although Canadian settings are common in fantasy novels, particularly those of Charles de Lint, Tanya Huff, and Edo van Belkom).
		Canadian SF novels such as Donald Kingsbury's Courtship Rite (1982), Teresa Plowright's Dreams of an Unseen Planet (1986), Andrew Weiner 's Station Gehenna (1987), Robert J. Sawyer's Far-Seer (1992), and Scott Mackay's Outpost (XXXX) all embody this theme.

		Other works whose titles parody the genre or category whose ranks they ostensibly augment include, to refer only to English fiction, Graham Swift's Learning to Swim (1982), Julian Barnes's A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters (1989), and Jeanette Winterson's Boating for Beginners (1985).
		It is also interesting to note that certain novels which subvert the genres they outwardly subscribe to contain no reference in their titles to their debunking intent.
		Lawrence Norfolk's Lemprière's Dictionary (1991) purloins the title of Charles Lemprière's Classical Dictionary, and the effect created is similar to that which would be produced by a novel calling itself Roget's Thesaurus or Fowler's Modern English Usage.

		She has written 17 novels, has won numerous awards, is compared to Borges, Calvino and Kafka by the Buenos Aires press, and has none of her work available in English, until now.
		Of course this may be because two of the best fantasy novels of last year, Veniss Underground and The Etched City, are in the Best First Novel category, where they finished #2 and #4 respectively (and both should have been higher).
		Best Fantasy Novel, on the other hand, is deeply depressing until you get down to Mary Gentle’s 1610 at #5 and Tad Williams’ The War of the Flowers at #6.

	The English Department @ Elizabethtown College
		Robert A. Heinlein, creator of well-known science fiction novels such as Starship Troopers (1959) and Stranger in a Strange Land (1961), insists that the Ransom stories should not be categorized as science fiction, but rather as fantasies.
		Apart from the work of "Displaced Persons," authors who probably should not be writing science fiction at all, Lewis admits that he also takes little interest in a second category of science fiction, what he calls "the fiction of Engineers" (62).
		The appeal of these stories, such as Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, H. Wells's Land Ironclads, or Arthur C. Clark's Prelude to Space, resides largely in the marvels of real or imagined technology.

		In this sense, many satirical novels qualify when their speculation distinguishes the "scene" from the present or the past.
		It is sometimes applied, more generally, to any fantasy at all (generally so in US bookstores), but, in that case, the larger category of speculative fiction is more inclusive.
