The difficulty though is that we will only be choosing six more categories and there's a lot of competition. Both Science Fiction and Fantasy may win separate months, but you should ask yourself - If only one category between Science Fiction, Fantasy and Sci-Fi/Fantasy were to win a month, which one would you prefer? People who like both genres may prefer the combo category to only one of the two genres making it into the category line-up. |

I was thinking of nominating "biographies of comedians" or something to get a combined category though. Maybe next month (or never). |

There's no reason it would need to be limited to something that could fit in both categories it could be either or. I'd prefer separate, but at the same time I'd also prefer a combo to nothing and they are genre's that right or wrong have been traditionally grouped by publishers, book stores, libraries and many readers. We already have a Mystery/Thriller combo and they aren't the same thing either.

What's wrong with Adventure? Books such as The Count of Monte Cristo, Treasure Island, King Soloman's Mines are three great novels that spring to mind immediately that would fit this category.

It is read as Fantasy OR Science Fiction. That has been said numerous times in this thread. |
