The term "Science Fiction" has been used to describe a genre of literature, film, and other forms of media that explore the possibilities of science and technology. However, this term is simply far too boring for a genre that is so fun and imaginative.

And so, we propose changing the term for this genre back to its original name, "Scientifiction". This new term better captures the sense of wonder and imagination that is at the heart of science fiction. It also, as previously stated, is simply far more fun than the other term.

The term "Scientifiction" was first coined by Hugo Gernsback in 1926 as a way to describe his vision for a new kind of literature that combined scientific accuracy with imaginative storytelling. Unfortunately, he was forced to bow to the will of others more boring (and less imaginative) than himself, changing it to what we know it as today.

Changing the name may seem like a small thing, but it can have significant implications. A more interesting name will help attract new readers and viewers who might otherwise be put off by the perceived limitations or stereotypes associated with "Science Fiction".

Therefore, we call on publishers, writers, filmmakers, scholars, fans, and anyone else interested in sci-fi to embrace this new term and use it whenever possible. Let us create a future where Scientifiction is recognized as one of humanity's greatest achievements in storytelling.
