Fantasy is when your Elves come from Ulthuan, science fiction is when your Aeldari come from Ulthwé.

I got bad news for you, Jamie: Ulthwé is just the Quenyan form while Ulthuan is Sindarin—they’re BOTH fantasy. (“Aeldari” comes out of a fad for “more authentic” spellings that Númenor went through in the S.A. 1800s; it wasn’t more authentic and didn’t last.)
