My love of fantasy and science-fiction is...weird, to say the least. I'm definitely more of a fantasy writer and reader, but there's just something about translating it to the big screen that makes it hard for it to click. I'm not sure what that is. Maybe the format of a TV series doesn't really allow for the worldbuilding that I love? The only media that seems to subvert this is anime, which oddly does a great job at introducing the viewer to the magic of the worlds the stories are set in.
And while I don't read or write a lot of science-fiction, some of my favorite shows have been sci-fi ones. My childhood was built on Star Trek, and my recent TV love is the many different Stargate series.
Of course, it's always fun seeing the two combined.
As you can see by my username, I love both combined. So I don't really have a preference. But I do like Star Wars really much. Fantasy is everything. You can do literally ANYTHING with the fantasy genre. But sci-fi and fantasy combined is just AWESOME!
The simple truth is that authors like making people squirm. If this weren't the case, all novels would be filled completely with cute bunnies having birthday parties.
