I'm thinking of starting a new piece of fiction, focusing loosely on time travel.
I was just wondering if this would go in fantasy or science fiction.
Thanks.

It really depends on how the time travel is accomplished. We'd need more information before we'd be able to say one way or the other.

Doctor Who is classed as sci-fi because it's done by aliens and multi-dimensional time capsules.

I have time travel in fantasy, because it's done by Sensing life forms of a long ago yestere'en.

If it's machines, it's usually sci-fi, if were done, then 'twere well 'twere done quickly.

TARDIS!

lol, the only reason I know what that stands for is because of a Robot Chicken sketch.

Twit's right. If it's a 'power' your characters have then it's fantasy but if it's technology based it goes in sci fi.

*thinks*
The plural, I believe. I could very well be wrong, though. I haven't seen the sketch in a while, and the nerd character kind of has this lisp.

To stay on topic:

As everyone else has said. Time travel by magic = fantasy. Time travel by technology = sci-fi. Time travel by dreams or psychic ability = other fiction.
