Science fiction vs. Speculative fiction
Hubbard wrote for the pulps, which means he wrote everything under the sun. Sci fi, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and even westerns and the odd romance. While calling him a sci-fi writer is accurate, it's more accurate to call him a speculative fiction writer, and more informative for people who are curious about what he wrote. Not that I think he wrote anything of value -- Battlefield Earth, bleah! -- but this is an encyclopedia, and should strive for more precise terms when they're available. -- Good Damon 16:26, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
