I've got a couple of questions: Do Sword and Sandal and Historical Drama have to be set in the past? Or can I use S.K.'s Dark Hunters (for example)for Sword and Sandal because of the mythology link? What about books like Hood where it's based on a famous person for Historical Drama? Oh, and does the apocalypse class as an impending disaster? And what about classics? Can I count them in there somewhere?
