I've been looking at one particular publication that does monthly themes, and the one for the November submission period is Sword and Sorcery. Beyond that, all it says is "A classic. Let's mess with it." Since then, I've been reading up on character archetypes, themes, settings, plots, etc. that are common to the subgenre.
Which brings me to this thread. What do you consider to be the hallmarks of Sword and Sorcery? What do you think is overdone in the subgenre?
