	What is Science Fantasy?
		Science fantasy developed out of a need to push science fiction beyond what might seem possible when written within the strict confines of older, classic, science fiction.
		My intention was to stretch science fiction to the edge of known science and then beyond those boundaries to the degree that I risk accusations of mixing fantasy with hard science.
		It is an adventurous science fantasy describing interstellar and planetary conflict as well as a resulting peace from a single heart’s desire.

	Science fantasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frank Herbert's Dune novels are also classed by some as science fantasy, probably because his Arrakis dispenses with many (but not all) of the technological ornaments that conventionally mark a story as "science fiction"; however, his scientifically impossible concepts (like prescience and genetic memory) were staples in mainstream science fiction for many years.
		Anne McCaffrey's Pern novels and Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover novels are more obviously science fantasy, the former largely because of its choice of the fantasy icon of the dragon at the center of the stories, the latter because a form of rationalized magic is a dominant theme.
		Science fantasy is sometimes used to refer to a fantasy story in which the fantastic elements are presented as compatible with real-world science, in contrast to fantasies in which the fantastic only needs to have its own internal logic.

	What is Science Fiction?: Science Fiction or Fantasy?
		defines science fiction as: "A form of fantasy in which scientific facts, assumptions, or hypotheses form the basis, by logical extrapolation, of adventures in the future, on other planets, in other dimensions in time, or under new variants of scientific law" (Holman).

	Fantasy Computer Science Research Lab
		New graduate students in computer science often have a difficult time choosing among research projects and may never develop a broad view of the field nor think about the relative significance of efforts in various directions.
		In preparing a fantasy research lab plan, a student will need to familiarize him or herself with a broad range of problems and the current state of the art in solutions.
		One of the things that players of fantasy sports enjoy is competition, i.e., the ability for a computer to simulate Fantasy Team A playing Fantasy Team B. At first glance it would seem that Fantasy Computer Science Research Lab is not amenable to competition, thus depriving students of the chance to excel and win.

		Initially all I wanted to do was write an epic fantasy that was a great big adventure, but I did want to write something different from the usual male-dominated, good vs evil kind of fantasy that was so prevalent back when I began writing, nearly fifteen years ago (and still is).
		Alternatively, where fantasy sets out to break free of these stereotypes, it is sometimes exotic and alien at the expense of the story.
		Fantasy maps often seem to be drawn by people who think geography is a set of cliches, or a shopping list.

	Psychology and Science
		he idea that these fantasies of science have a negative impact on individuals and, hence, therapy and psychology comes from the assumption that the psyche benefits from expanding itself phenomenologically and imaginatively.
		The psychologist who is limited in fantasy will bring these limitations to his client and the client at best will have a chance to trade a dysfunctionally limiting fantasy structure for a more socially accepted limiting one.
		Accepting the process from which ideas are born as a nature human function that is always going to include the fantasy structure of the creator only liberates the imagination from the sterile fantasy of scientific methodology.
