I think from all the advice above, I've realised:
- My fantasy ideas tend to be novel-length

Sorry about the misunderstanding your nick wrong. Question, can you take your fantasy ideas and spice them up so that it reads like a sci-fi? Take for example Battlestar Galactica, and you can notice how easily you could set the settings in the Fantasy world (way much bigger then our planet) or take the Dragonlance-series (with Twilight ... and so on) and transmutate that storyline into the sci-fi settings. Do you see what I mean?
Note, that I do not suggest you to copy those plots, as the original story is always ... original.
