The term SciFan™ is generally recognized as Science Fantasy - which is defined by author Ricardo Victoria as "A genre that blends fantastic and scientific elements into a coherent world-build to tell a story in a more interesting and flexible way.”
The SciFan™ Movement is a collective group of authors who are clamoring for Science Fantasy to become a recognized genre in the publishing industry. In October 2016 a petition was launched on Change.org to present to Amazon.com for consideration.
Alternatively, SciFan.com was once an online database for fans of science fiction and fantasy books, however the site has been down since 2009. The site provided detailed bibliographies, linking books together into series where appropriate and, in turn, grouping series by universe. Books were also grouped together into themes such as "18th Century", "Alternate History" and "Mathematics Fantasy." A useful provision was access to lists of new and upcoming books, select-able by month of publication. There was also a search facility: entering a word or phrase searches within author names, book titles, series and universes. With more than 65,000 books, 18,000 writers, and 8,000 series (as of 2008) and ongoing updates, it was one of the main databases in its field. It was launched in 1999 by James Wallace Harris and Olivier Travers. In 2001 Harris decided to devote his time to writing, and Travers was joined by his wife Sophie Bellais as co-maintainer. They made up the maintenance team until the site was abandoned in 2009.
