You don't need to mention the differences. In fact that would probably turn away quite a few people. You need to tell the people what's good about your story, not just what is different. Obviously you can call it whatever you want, but whether that's useful to get some eyes on it is a different question. And you could also only target exactly those people that like you know the term - but that is probably a very low number of people
May 7, 2019 at 18:31	comment	added	wetcircuit		When I read the term, I thought: "romance on a planet", like this painting: queensmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/… – appeals to me more than a noble star captain or comicbook hero…. Although I see the irony in it that many wouldn't. As stated, I didn't write it to fit any genre, I was fine with saying "sci-fi" but then I realized that what I mean by sci-fi and what other people think (comicbooks, pew-pew-pew) isn't at all the same thing. Almost better to go with something that makes you go "wtf is that?" rather than walk back everything I know it isn't.
