This blog entry is a direct sequel to last week’s entry FINDING A GOOD PARANORMAL ROMANCE which was sparked by a twitter exchange. http://www.aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/2012/08/finding-good-paranormal-romance.html This is Part 7 of a series of posts on Worldbuilding. The previous parts are here: http://www.aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/2012/07/worldbuilding-with-fire-and-ice-part-6.html And that Part 6 has a list of the links to the previous 5 parts of this discussion scattered over the last few years — and there have been other series of posts on the art, science and craft of “worldbuilding” that is the single most major element behind writing in general — but is far more difficult when done to cradle an Alien Romance, or any science fiction or fantasy story. This Part 7 is a worldbuilding entry sparked by a series of comments made on Twitter by Noah Murphy ‏@K23Detectives — someone to follow and pay attention to. These tweets came to my attention as I was finishing last week’s blog entry and thinking how Paranormal Romance stories and novels are one of the most natural, easy, and obvious blends of 2 genres. The “Paranormal” usually infers “horror” — stories about the creepy-awful menace that lurks just out of sight and awareness, the non-rational world of nightmare rather than dream. Romance, on the other hand
