SCIENTIFICTION

SCIENTIFICTION
   1) Term coined by Hugo GERNSBACK as a contraction of "scientific fiction" and defined by him in the first issue of AMAZING STORIES in Apr 1926 (DEFINITIONS OF SF). It never became very popular, and within a decade ofits coining was largely replaced by "science fiction". When used now it usually refers to the awkward, technology-oriented fiction published by Gernsback or, disparagingly, to modern equivalents. Attempts tore-establish the term in a positive sense have failed.
   2) Fanzine (1937-8). FANTASY REVIEW.
