I'm glad our fearless leaders are so sure. nossy Send a noteboard - 11/05/2011 01:31:52 AM
I think a good rule of thumb is to think of it as being "realistic" but with one or two little changes. Like The Time Traveller's Wife or Groundhog Day.

Kinda. :P

I am going to read the summer tree because I own it. I've decided it's spec fic because "normal" people are in it. Or something. So like what you said, only more made up stuff rather than less.

I don't know what that means. - 10/05/2011 05:02:15 PM 646 Views
I'm counting Summer Tree as spec fic - 10/05/2011 07:16:15 PM 609 Views
I figure the idea is "spec fic" covers everything that's, well, spec fic, without being fantasy / SF - 10/05/2011 08:09:31 PM 597 Views

I'd have to agree with Rebekah that e.g. The Time Traveller's Wife qualifies. - 11/05/2011 09:00:03 PM 598 Views
