As a writer, science fiction or otherwise, I don't give a hoot what I'm called as long as I'm called for the interviews! But then, I haven't sold as many copies of books as Harlan Ellison has over the years. Check out my first and recently released novel, Long Journey to Rneadal. This novel is a romantic action adventure in space and is more about the characters than the technology.

For some reason when Harlan Ellison denies being a science fiction writer it doesn't annoy me as much as when other people does it. I mean, he is Harlan ****ing Ellison.

In fairness, Ellison has always quibbled about the terms. But Lord, I am so tired of this.

He didn't really write a story about killer robots time travelling from the future to change the past.

that's old news. he's always considered his own as "speculative fiction."

but here we go once again with the labels!

Now he tells us!

Oh, Harlan, protest all you want but we're claiming you anyway. Maybe not every story is science fiction, but you write science fiction. You're a science fiction writer. Sorry.

Yeah, he even walked out of a TV-interview once because the announcer called him science fiction writer.
