It's easy for me to enjoy a detective novel set in the future, or a strong romance budding between races in the middle of an epic battle between realms of good and evil. A second (or even, third) genre brings a new depth to the story and its characters, provided the genres achieve a sense of balance. I don't mind a totally different genre coming along for the ride. I feel the same way concerning my tastes in science fiction and fantasy. I, on the other hand, have no qualms with another flavor such as hazelnut, raspberry, or peanut butter added into the mix. There are connoisseurs who prefer their chocolate being pure and untainted. It's a bit like my feelings towards chocolate. I'll be the first to admit - I've got very particular tastes when it comes to my science fiction and fantasy.
