She looks down her nose at "science fiction" and claims that her work is "speculative fiction" instead. It is a pretentious, pedantic distinction and, as a lifelong scifi fan, it makes me deeply ambivalent to anything she produces. Even if it is good science fiction.

It’s a fair enough position but I think you’re also being pedantic here. I try to separate these matters from the creation and judge everything on its own merits.

She writes well, but the snobbery towards "genre fiction" irks me enough that I generally refer to her as a science fiction writer who does other stuff.

I get the impression I'm not alone and a whole lot of people who enjoy good writing that may or may not be science fiction just wish she'd accept it and move on.
