WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE: Where, on the map, is YOUR Fantasy?
“Map Fantasy” is an umbrella term I use for the Fantasy subgenres of High Fantasy, Heroic Fantasy / Sword & Sorcery and Sword & Soul. If you ever see a book whose cover depicts a guy fighting a dragon, or a freakishly muscled warrior staring off into the distance as a buxom woman kneels at his feet, crack that mug (in Chicago, where I grew up, we call objects “mug”) open and I bet the first thing you find in there is a map.
Nice rundown of different subgenres in fantasy. Using this as a model, I take from each subgenre mentioned in my Good King Saga. I like to blur lines.
