Science Fantasy

Science Fantasy is a genre of fiction characterised by a strong overlap between science fiction and fantasy, using tropes from both genres. Whereas sci-fi usually tries to be scientifically sound in its speculative concepts, and fantasy tends to be much less 'realistic', often incorporating ideas such as magic, science fantasy is a mix of the two, often incorporating seemingly magical or supernatural elements through futuristic or technological means.
The boundaries between the three genres are often blurry, and no set or strict definition truly differentiates them easily. Some of the texts often argued to be science fantasy include Doctor Who and Star Wars.

==Comments by Jenkins==
Jenkins presented this book to fans in early 1995:
==About the "Monstrous" Cover==
===Jenkins Distanced Himself from the Cover===
Henry Jenkins disowned this cover when the book was first published, calling it, among other things, "monstrous," and encouraged fans to write letters of protest.
In early 1995, he also asked fans to let other fans know his disdain for the cover, and how he'd originally tried to have Jean Kluge do the art, as she had done for his book, Textual Poachers.
===From the Book: "About the Cover" Blurb"===
Jenkins explained to fans in early 1995 that he was allowed to write an explanation of the cover in the book: "In a last gasp negotiation, I got them to agree to let me write an "About the Cover" blurb for the inside, which I used to signal some of the ways that I felt the cover stereotyped fans and how it differed from the book's views, though the version that passed their approval is far too tame." from Strange Bedfellows (APA) #8 (February 1995) }}

Science Fiction Darkside

Science Fiction Darkside is a zine in which the first four issues have a Space:1999 focus. It is uncertain if there were other issues published later.
"Science Fiction Darkside is a fanzine published by Canadian David Owens (Website). The fanzine's aim is to "focus exclusively on sci-fi TV shows and movies that explore the darkside of space fantasy and adventure", and the initial issues are dedicated to Space 1999. This is very much the traditional type of print fanzine, with a mixture of episode guides and character profiles, fan fiction and art. While the content isn't very different from fanzines of the 1980s and 1990s, the production quality is good, the standard of the art and writing is high and a vivid imagination is evident from the contributors." from Catacombs

Science Fiction Fanzines

Science Fiction fanzines evolved alongside science fiction magazines. The first fanzines published amateur fiction and discussed what was in the magazines, extending the possibilities of the letter columns in the magazines. The fanzines were organized into science fiction fandom by Rick Sneary, Robert Bloch and Bob Tucker, and then by the National Fantasy Fan Federation, which strove for contact with local science fiction societies and clubs. Science Fiction and its fandom were further organized by annual science fiction conventions. A chief organizer was Sam Moskowitz, the fanzine reviewer for the Merwin magazines. The Fantasy Amateur Press Association provided further organization. There are grouped stages in the evolution of fandom, commencing with First Fandom; fandom is now in the stage of the commencement of Ninth Fandom, whose purpose was to ride through all science fiction busts and preserve the culture, and then Tenth Fandom is supposed to begin the reconstruction when it arrives.
Ghu, a ghod of fandom, helps with the production of fanzines, and Roscoe helps with their survival and distribution.

Science Fiction Foundation

The Science Fiction Foundation (SFF) is a British academic charity which promotes science fiction studies, and science fiction in general. It was founded by George Hay in 1970. It was originally based in London but has moved to Liverpool University. Current patrons are Ursula Le Guin (until her death in 2018), Neil Gaiman and Professor David Southwood.
While the SFF is not involved in fandom directly, many of its activities are related to the interests of fans. They include the provision of research facilities and occasional bursaries for science fiction studies and publication of an academic journal, Foundation: The International Review of Science Fiction. The SFF has also published several critical works, the best known of which is probably Terry Pratchett: Guilty of Literature (2000) edited by Andrew M. Butler, Edward James and Farah Mendlesohn. Others have covered Doctor Who, Babylon Five, and various authors. It sponsors an annual lecture at the Eastercon convention and promotes science fiction at other events such as the Worldcon.
The SFF and the British Science Fiction Association hold their Annual General Meetings jointly as a free mini-convention, usually in May or June.

Science Fiction League

The Science Fiction League was an early effort by Hugo Gernsback to gain readership and content for his new science fiction magazine, Wonder Stories. Formatted as a science fiction club, but under Gernsback's control, it chartered local branches and offered fans outlets in the pages of Wonder Stories (as well as lapel buttons and club stationery). The SFL department of Wonder Stories reported activities of branches and of fandom in general and listed new SFL members and addresses. The SFL letter columns in the magazine also printed letter writers’ names and addresses, allowing them to get in contact with each other and thus facilitating the creation of the social network which became science fiction fandom. The first independent local club, the Scienceers of New York City, got together as a result of this published contact information. 
After Gernsback lost control of Wonder Stories in 1937, the national organization was basically abandoned by the magazine's new ownership, and faded into history. Two former branches of the SFL still exist as local clubs: the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society and the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society.
The SFL was apparently based on an idea by Charles Hornig, who had recently become the editor of Wonder Stories based on his experience with fanzines.

Science Fiction is Escape Literature

Science Fiction is Escape Literature was a piece of meta thinly disguised as a short story. It was published in Milty's Mag in March of 1940, and reprinted in Voice of the Imagi-Nation in April. In the wake of several prominent Futurians being barred from Worldcon, Rothman expresses support for their attempts to integrate socialism into science fiction fandom.
A character named Moskowitz meets with a bloody fate after trying to escape being drafted against "those dirty reds", suggesting that Sam Moskowitz, chairman of Worldcon 1939, would pay the same price as everyone else if he failed to stand up for a brighter future.
== Excerpt ==
== Responses ==
Australian fan Vol Molesworth wrote to VoM in July 1941 to dispute Rothman's view of science fiction fandom as inherently valuable. Molesworth said that the number of prozines in Australia had declined due to wartime economy bans, and that by reading less science fiction he'd realized that over-indulgence in fandom had been damaging his enjoyment of both the stories and the world itself.

Science Friction

Science Friction is an explicit slash Star Trek: TNG anthology which highlights the homoerotic subtext of the Borg episodes. 
It is a single flip-over zine, which means one side is issue #1 (33 pages long). Flip the zine over and you have issue #2, which is about 115 pages. 
Several fans in Strange Bedfellows (APA) #6 mention seeing flyers at Gaylaxicon "1, 2, & 3 and a request for material for 4."
==General Fan Reaction==
Most long-term media fans disliked it a great deal. This led to much discussion about the difference between erotica in media fandom vs. professional erotica/pornography of the time.
Mark Dery, a cultural critic who studies fringe computer culture writes in Slashing the Borg: Resistance is Fertile, an essay that quotes this zine extensively: 
==Issue 1==
Science Friction 1 contains 33 pages.
* Locutus by Gigi the Galaxy Girl (Worf gives Riker the ride of his life)
* Klingon Lust (the "fuck—pole" story featuring Riker and Worf)
