I think in essence Fiction is always fantasy, because it's a non-real,non-happened world that the author tries to create.
However fiction fantasy stuff, and Science Fiction are 2 different worlds.
Most writers always combine of both aspects,like they also add action, a bit of romance,and maybe suspense/ triller, to spice the story.
but a pure science fiction, and a pure fantasy novel I'd probably not read.
I do however tend to read SF with as little fantasy as possible.
I like tech stuff,I like science, but I also like a story about life on another planet.
Just as long as stories don't get to where Japanese anime for kids is getting to; like people flying in the air, saying 'superpower fireball', and destroy the planet, while at the same time they die when they receive a minor punch that throws them to a rock, and gives them a little blood out of their mouth.
I'm not for those stories were Ecci-neesan happily humps around the block, sees a bad guy,and then calls on the powers of the sex demons that haunt her to totally obliterate her evil oponent.
Neither where for an unknown reason light comes out of a little magic box, and Poow-Poow,the gigantic bear-dog that can fly, takes little piu-chan to a babypink and blue world full of rainbows and gigantic purple mushrooms... if you know what I mean...
I'd prefer science fiction over fantasy by lots here...
