Came across a blog that seems to be written by someone who knows what they are saying
http://theswivet.blogspot.com/2008/03/on-word-counts-and-novel-length.html
Where they summarise as
---> hard sf = 90k to 110k
---> space opera = 90k to 120k
---> epic/high/traditional/historical fantasy = 90k to 120k
---> contemporary fantasy = 90k to 100k
---> romantic SF = 85k to 100k
---> urban fantasy = 90k to 100k
---> new weird = 85k to 110k
---> slipstream = 80k to 100k
---> comic fantasy = 80k to 100k
---> everything else = 90k to 100k
What do you all think?
