Two Lord of the Rings fivers and a fair number of OC fivers beg to differ with this whole strictly sci-fi attitude. I would argue that Star Wars is 100% fantasy as well. In any case, Harry Potter is far from off-limits. I know the idea has been bounced around at least once.
So poll-wise... are we there yet?

Lay off for the moment, IJD. I gave a talk today, I have an exam Saturday, and I have assignments way overdue. This will be over soon, but it isn't now.

S'alright, not really badgering. Just trying ineptly to uncleverly extend your previous metaphor.
Got a problem with that? We'll take it to Metaphree-for-all.

It's always fun to meet other BnL fans.
Star Wars is hardly 100% fantasy. It's not 100% scifi either, but there are things like hyperdrive and light sabres that are theoretically mere extensions of current technology. I call that stuff scifi. For that matter, by introducing the idea of midicholorians, they're increasing the scifi quotient.

Is anybody else feeling like a person being sucked down a whirlpool the way this discussion is going?

I feel like a person being eaten by a giant six-headed mermaid thing. Does that count?

Would the nay-sayers like to elaborate on why they are so negative?

And I suppose you'd feel positive while a six-headed mermaid thing was eating you?

We're being negative because the thread is meandering with nothing keeping it on track.

I see that nothing has changed in the time I was away.

I fail to see how threads going off-topic is a negative thing. We'd never get anywhere around here if we stayed on-topic. Or rather, we'd never get nowhere, which I'm sure is precisely where everyone wants to be.
