Note - I didn't put this on YTTKW as that tends to be for writing out the trope description and getting up some examples. My questions here are about the fundamental nature of the trope.

I just brainstormed this up the other day. The trope would be "Transhuman Romance", about (usually sci-fi, but see question 2) relationships between humans and posthumans, or substantially different human clades or subspecies  *

. The main questions I have:

1. Do we need this? I feel it's substantially different from Interspecies Romance in that both partners are technically the same species, but it's possible that there's an overlap.

2. How would we define what qualifies? On the archived discussion page for Interspecies Romance, there's some talk about whether werewolves and vampires would actually qualify for that page or not, as they are usually more or less augmented humans. In the case of werewolves in particular, at least in the classic form, this trope might be a better fit. I think some definitions need to be set in advance.

3. Just to make sure, Do We Have This?

Go to Lost And Found to ask the question "do we have this"? Also read the stickied threads at the top of the page.

Good Luck!
