| A Science-fiction romance features a love story that is inextricably linked with a science-fiction plot and setting. The most basic definition of a romance novel is simply; a novel focused on a central love story. However, if you were to throw another element into the fray, like say Science fiction, then the sky is the limit to where you can take things. A futuristic world where your readers can immerse themselves to experience the thrill of falling in love with a character the author creates that captures their attention and appeals to their personal tastes. |

Romance in Science Fiction is a pretty even split between the two genres. The romantic journey is set in a scientifically or technologically advanced environment. The science fiction elements and the romance elements of the story are equally important and the story would suffer if one was taken away. Romance gives the characters of Science Fiction more depth.
Yet, romance brings us into the individual lives of the people; it lets us see how these grand plots disrupt and interrupt their lives, and how their love can keep them fighting against insurmountable odds; and makes us care about their futures.
Writing romance doesn't mean it has to take place in a real-world setting, it can take place on other planets or in imaginary lands, or involve creatures such as vampires, werewolves, genies, ghosts, and pixies. One thing to be aware of is that the world-building and science fiction elements usually aren't as strong as in typical science fiction, and romance nearly always comes first. The focus is generally on two characters, the ones who fall in love.
One thing to keep in mind is to make sure you keep a balance of both Science fiction and Romance. Really immerse yourself within your world to bring out any technological advances if there are any. Show the love between your two main characters. Keep a consistent theme throughout, so you really draw your reader in. Above all else, have fun; if you aren't enjoying it'll show in your work.
