Well, I think it also depends on how _you_ personally feel about your text. Many, many years ago, I ran across this same question. The professor (Jim, I don't remember if it was you or not) took two books - **Ender's Game** by Orson Scott Card, and **Dragonriders of Pern** by Anne McCaffrey. The professor pointed out that so many people figured _Ender's Game_ was a science fiction story, but he claimed that it was fantasy, whereas McCaffrey always swore up and down that her series was science fiction. So, in a nut shell, if you can argue to your editor that your book has dragons, swords and sorcery, and it's science fiction, then you've got the makings of a good storyteller.
