[[Lifestyles of the Rich and Supernatural (WisCon 31 panel)|33 Lifestyles of the Rich and Supernatural]]

Reading SF&F•Conference Room 5• Friday, 8:45-10:00 p.m.

[[Vampires]] have been a popular trend in [[romance]] for a long time, but [[shapechangers]], [[gods and goddesses|minor gods]], [[superheroes]], [[ghosts]], and magical [[time travel|time travelers]] are catching up. Do supernaturally powerful heroes provide a PC alternative to the Alpha Male in historical romance (and older contemporaries?)? What need does the powerful caretaker fantasy fill for a modern reader? Or is it the strangeness we like, and not the power? Or both? How is the story different when the heroine is the supernaturally powerful half of the pair?

M: [[L. Timmel Duchamp]], [[Holly Black]], [[Carla M Lee]], [[Catherine Lundoff]]
