My main story, Aeris - Guardian Force is a space opera. I wanted it to be a M/M romance, set to the backdrop of an interstellar war, with the Main Character finding his "True Love/Soulmate" in the trenches of the war. It was going to be heavily focused on the Characters, first and foremost, and all the juicy space battles and stuff secondary. I've also written 2 M/M love dramas, and a series of shorts from prompts about AJ & Tommy.
Guess which ones I've gotten more comments, reactions, and PMs the fastest on?
The Love stories, Dramas, and Shorts.
Aeris has more reacts, and comments, strictly based on length, and time I've dedicated to it. All the others, I got a lot more reader interaction from in hours/days of posting the story, than I did with any of the chapters from Aeris.
So, don't be discouraged about the Space Opera story, you've done. It's just the nature of the beast. Also, where is it posted? Would love to take a gander at it.
