If you put Science Fiction in with Fantasy or the other way round, unless the prices are that much better then the other guys, I'll shop elsewhere. So please don't do that. It's a bad idea and tends to lose customers. And please please do not put the vampire/undead/otherworld stuff in with Science Fiction or Fantasy. They don't belong. They actually belong in horror. And what's called dark fantasy that's really just romance/erotica/smut belongs someplace other then Fantasy.
