<p>stub</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Sci-fi&#039;&#039;&#039; is an abbreviation for &quot;science fiction&quot;, and in that sense is not a unique genre. &quot;Sci-fi&quot; is a popular term for people outside the community to use to refer to [[SF]] or variants thereof, and has gotten picked up by major commercial enterprises (like the Sci-Fi Channel) although it is sometimes disdained by people within the community. To some extent, &quot;sci-fi&quot; may be seen as the works which people who would use the term &quot;sci-fi&quot; would mean by it: e.g., [[space opera]], Star Trek, and other media space-oriented franchises.<br /> <br /> Forrest Ackerman reputedly coined the term. When told that Harlan Ellison had said the term was a &quot;hideous neologism&quot; that &quot;sounds like crickets fucking,&quot; Ackerman produced buttons that said, &quot;I love the sound of crickets making love.&quot; <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Genres]]</div>
