Many folks enjoy Science Fiction and recently a friend who is a vegetarian and has lived all over Europe expressed to me his years of reading Sci Fi and listed many of his favorite authors. These included authors like Robert Heinlein, Charles Sheckley, Larry Niven, Isaac Asimov, Ursula k. Leguin… older science fiction for the most part also a little of say William Gibson or newer Heinlein.
In fact he likes science fiction so much he is considering on writing his own science fiction book soon. I thought to myself; “wow!” that is one heck of a line-up of great authors so indeed, I bet whatever he writes will be inspired by some of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. Myself I like Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Ben Bova, Caleb Carr, Stephen Baxter, Jules Vern, Gene Roddenberry, HG Wells, and try to stay away from the Science Fiction Fantasy. Although, I must say I do rather enjoy such movies in the theatre. Since then space search has been a constant battle between the two countries with the astronauts of the USA and cosmonauts of Russia striving to explore more, to find more and to know more about space. In this conventional viewpoint, the wave, “wavicle”, for more details visit to www.auto-cons.com or particle separates from the source, moves through empty space, and then is absorbed by the sink, thereby becoming a part of the sink and fully divorced from the source. That way perhaps you won’t notice being pelted by friendly fire from casually discarded space junk, nor will you be aware of your vital organs expanding and bursting in the vacuum created by zero air pressure
Between the two of us, I’d say that those are very famous and interesting authors. So we discussed the future of propulsion technologies that we both believe to be forthcoming and decided we wouldn’t mind a long-term space mission for the benefit of exploration, truth, science and humanity. Energetic radiation/absorption along primary (oscillation along the line over time; can be modeled as a pair of points on the line, one on each side of the center, for more details visit to www.profit-pulling-niches.com moving with equivalent but varying spacing between each of them and the center point. “Yes, I too would have no problem with a year’s space flight, each way or even 5-years, if I had access to information to learn and study.” I told him.
In the future Virtual Reality might help entertain space travelers from going stir crazy? Soon mankind will depart from this home planet in search of our future destiny and all that awaits. Amazingly, enough it won’t be long now.

What all can qualify as science fiction?
I know that very technical stories like one of Jules Verne’s are science fiction, but what about stories of werewolves, etc.
Does this count as science fiction? Does it count as fantasy fiction? Is fantasy fiction a subgroup of science fiction?

Depends. If you’re a teen werewolf from a lab experiment/disease it’s Scifi. If you were bitten by a werewolf, Fantasy. If the werewolf is trying to eat your family, Horror.

sci-fi is a HUGE category. from aliens to elves, wizards to talking animals and everything in between. so, i think that werewolves can be counted as fantasy fiction, and horror like someone else said. sci-fi is interesting, because it can entertwin itself with many other different genres without getting confusing. of course, there is the basic story plot that is pretty sci-fi, and then it can venture off into different courses. horror, being one of them. so yeah, it can!

there are science fiction, science fantasy, and fantasy. were wolves would fall into the latter category as would all non human beings.
