Can you give examples of things that are 'not part of the bargain romance novel'?

It could mean that something is not within the expected or agreed - upon elements of a romance novel. For example, if a romance novel typically focuses on love and relationships, a complex political intrigue plot might be 'not part of the bargain romance novel'.

The use of gene editing technology like CRISPR is historically novel. Throughout history, we have not had the ability to precisely edit genes in living organisms in such a way. It has huge implications for medicine, agriculture, and even the future of evolution. Another example is the modern concept of space tourism. In the past, the idea of regular people traveling to space was unthinkable, but now it's becoming a reality.

The love for a long - time hobby is like love but not novel. Let's say someone loves painting. They have a passion for it, spend time on it regularly. It's a love that has grown over time, not something new and exciting all the time like the initial stages of a romantic love in a novel.

One example could be a fanfiction where the characters in 'The Thing' manage to find a way to communicate with the alien entity in a more peaceful way, rather than the constant fight in the original. Another might be a story that focuses on a side character from 'The Thing' and their backstory, like how they ended up in that desolate place in the first place.

High - budget movies can be considered better then fanfic. Take the Lord of the Rings movies. They have professional actors, amazing special effects, and a carefully crafted story. Fanfic often lacks these resources. Also, in movies, there are teams of professionals working on every aspect from the script to the cinematography, which usually results in a more polished product than fan - made fiction.

Sure. 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen is a classic example. It tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Their relationship starts with misunderstandings and prejudice but gradually develops into love through various encounters and self - discovery.

Sure. A critically acclaimed novel like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is better than fanfic. It has a profound and original story, exploring themes of racism and justice in a way that is both poignant and educational. The characters are fully fleshed out and the writing is of a very high standard.

Historical research papers are a great example. Scholars conduct in - depth research using primary and secondary sources to present accurate historical accounts. These are not fictional as they are based on evidence. Scientific research articles also fall into this category. Scientists present their findings based on experiments and observations, which are real and not made - up, so 'this is not fiction' is very much applicable to them.

Sure. Real - life tales of survival against all odds are often better than fiction. For instance, the story of Aron Ralston who cut off his own arm to free himself from a boulder in a Utah canyon. It's a story of extreme willpower and survival instinct.

Myths. They often have elements of truth (facts) but are also filled with fictional elements like gods and magical creatures. So they are beyond just being fact or fiction.
