The original concept for the Dionysian came about in 2005 around the time I saw Serenity in theaters. I definitely won’t deny there’s some inspiration there. What we liked most about Firefly was the character-based, crew-involved space opera dynamic and the sort of humanized science fiction so that’s what we tried to emulate in Caelum Lex. I’m glad that’s coming across, although I hope it doesn’t read TOO much like a fanfic hahah.
Not at all too much. I usually prefer hard sci-fi but I really like this, not to mention that I find it much easier to identify with this doctor. 🙂

I certainly noticed the similarity too, but its definitely more of a stylistic thing. And even if it was a ripoff, which it isn’t, “fanfic” is the wrong word.
Caelum Lex 
I just started reading. Is it just me or does this read like a firefly fanfic?
I mean, I;m enjoying it, but it’s so similar.
