Talk:Zena's Space Opera/S1E2/@comment-26423188-20180801010023/@comment-3991308-20180803123749

space opera is one of the most classic scifi genres!! I personally describe it as politics in space, or drama and intrigue and everything good in space. think Star Wars, think Dune, heck, even Hitchhiker's Guide is arguably Space Opera

i would definitely cite Dune as a maaaaaajor inspiration in this, and when I read Dune for the first time over a year ago, my brain was like "this is exactly how I write X!!" so I guess this is sort of a tribute to that

seasons and episodes definitely allude to a more serialised TV treatment, so I did aim for a lot of visuals in the descriptions!!!!

ah, Gabriel. what a man. what a well spoken yet mess of a man. space opera is also my excuse to throw in OCs that won't get used as much in regular fic, too.
