Throughout the history of Science Fiction and Fantasy, some themes have popped up again and again. Work after work will feature the same central idea, plot device, setting, creature, or archetype. The hero will kill the dragon in the name of good, or the spaceship will travel through time. These ideas have become an awknowledged keystone to Science Fiction and Fantasy as we know it, often gaining fans and followers in their own right. This category is for sites which explore one such theme of Science Fiction or Fantasy.
