Science Fiction vs Fantasy
Science Fiction
Science fiction has some element of factual science involved, whereas fantasy does not have to involve any science whatsoever. Science fiction often takes something that is technological, medical, natural, or scientific in some way and expands upon it in a way that has not been discovered or explored yet. It may be plausible or possible but currently is not in existence.

Fantasy Fiction
Fantasy fiction is an imagined or dreamed tale where unrealistic events and creatures exist in conjunction with a fanciful tale of adventure or magic. The majority of the elements are not and cannot be real. They are purely works of the author’s imagination such as a golden ring that turns a hobbit invisible, or a sword that only works to destroy evil. |
