I've recently read Orson Scott Card's books from the Homecoming series, which are sci-fi but have a very fantasy feel to them. There's the computer that controls the human population over millions of years (sci-fi), and then there is the building of a culture and a world so different from ours (fantasy). And he blends the elements so seamlessly that you don't really think about genre as you read it. As you say, fiction is fiction. Interesting comments.
