Thank you so much for the kind words, Ccopper! Void Dreaming's a lot of work, but it's always wonderful to know there are people out there who feel I'm nailing what I'm working toward!
To answer the first question, I'm familiar with The Orville but I've not watched it myself! I'm not Trek fan (my tastes run more toward Stargate as my preferred sci-fi!) but I've heard wonderful things about it and I probably should give it a look sometime.
And for the second question, the spicier Event scenes that characters have are not specific to romancing a given character. Attraction to a character is what unlocks access to both the saucy content and the "romance" path, but to romance a character in this story is something far larger than getting into their pants. This is unfortunately something that a lot of readers seem to miss, which could be indicative of a problem with my writing or a wider issue with the perception of sexual and romantic relationships in wider society. I can't be sure unfortunately, and I won't have a better sample size until I reach the end of Void Dreaming and get to see how the majority of the readership reacts to the potential outcomes of their time with each character. My hope is that it will be satisfying!
Thanks again for the kind words, and I'm glad you're enjoying Void Dreaming! There's plenty more to come, and lots more Caleia and Obaa for you to enjoy!
