I just did a search at Books a million for Science Fiction and the first 30 entries were "Harry Potter" related.
I don't see how anyone could mistake a witchcraft fantasy like "Harry Potter" for Science Fiction.
I could see it showing up eventually in the search, but putting it ahead of such writers as Isaac Asimov or Jules Verne is either stupidity or more likely greed.
It did make me curious.
What one story or writer best matches your Definition of Science Fiction?
Science Fiction
For me Jules Vernes stories meet the Classic definition of true Science Fiction.

His "20,000 Leagues under the sea" being one of the better examples.
For me Mary Shelleys "Frankenstien" is a good example of more Fantasy focused Science Fiction.
What are your choices?

I particularly like Make A Wish.

This is something I wrote up a long time ago for the Orion's Arm SF worldbuilding/gaming/wannabe media franchise setting, just to see if I could pull it off. In the end it was rejected, but it's too good a bit not to share....

The first few prereader reports have come back. It's looking very good...

From the album "I Like It In Duluth" by da Elliott Brothers (jug band)...
"I Like It In Duluth": A pean to that northern city. Another helpful location teleport song, though admittedly not the most immediately useful destination.
"Polar Bear Stomp": The repeated refrain, "I'm a polar bear! " gives Sangnoir the useful ability of turning into a polar bear. The bad news is that the lyrics would also give him a near irresistable urge to defecate on ice.

ok people, now the fun really starts

I see you there, but my work's firewall/paranoia/whathaveyou won't let me connect to the chat server. I did try to go in and say hello.

Now that Shonen Jump USA is printing the Memories arc, it looks like the place where Sangnoir could do the most good/damage.
The Ancient Egyptian language barrier might be a problem, but I'm sure that he'd object to the government imprisoning/executing random citizens to extract their ka.

On naming one of them "USS Hecate":
from an overdone witchy webpage:

Quote:

---

Hecate was the protectress of far off places, roads, and byways. At night during the dark moon, Hecate could be seen walking the road of Greece with her howling dogs and torches. Statues of her stood at crossroads where the traveler faced three choices. Food offerings called "Hecate's Supper" were left there late at night on the eve of the full Moon. The person leaving the food walked away without looking back, for they were afraid to confront the goddess face to face. This was a way of honoring the threefold goddess where on could look three ways at once.
