Perhaps you've noticed that up to this point, we've been assuming that the more "normal" character in the pairing is a woman. Because most of this genre is marketed towards a female audience, this is usually the case, with a [[AudienceSurrogate relatable heroine]] falling for a hunky supernatural guy. However, plenty of exceptions exist: sometimes it's the guy who is the normal protagonist. Sometimes it's a queer love story and they're both women, or both men, or maybe one (or both) are non-binary. And sometimes it's the more supernaturally-aligned character who is the protagonist.

Using sci-fi and fantasy to create an exotic location for your romance story is fine, provided that the budding romance between the two lovers is the main focus, rather than the magical or scientific AppliedPhlebotinum. The story can even take place in the StandardFantasySetting. Setting it in any established fantasy or science fiction [[TheVerse universe]] is also fine, provided it's just FanFiction, or you have permission from that franchise's copyright holders. (With permission from Paramount, for instance, you could set a paranormal romance in a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' ExtendedUniverse novel.)
