Question for my sci-fi readers: If you were reading an alien apocalyptic sci-fi adventure, do you expect it to remain just that, or do you root for a romantic pairing?
          	
          	This is for research!

@hilja_sade that what I believe too. I do know there can be stories like this that leave romance out entirely, and the characters/readers have to find light/hope in something other than romance or friendships.

@AuthorESElias Always. The subject would become too heavy if there wasn't a love story that made it all worthwhile, both for the protagonists and the reader.

Question for the readers: do you like interactive, immersive bonus content? 
          
          If you had the chance to enter the Hughesville County Library; would you be entering as a public visitor, a private research member, or a DU agent? 
          
          What special sections of the library would you be interested in? 
          
          Do you wish to be recruited by the DU?
          
          I am conducting a survey!!

@KartheyM the update in the guidelines book said it can take up to 24 hours for the banner to appear. I didn't get the banner until the last few hours, and I checked it this morning at 9am. So, give it a little time and check again.
            
            Thank you, and to you as well!

@AuthorESElias So weird.... The story I wanted to submit seems to fit all the requirements, but no banner... I marked it complete yesterday, I had started posting it in June of last year, so that meets "on or after January 2024", I thought I was all ready to go... I wonder why not?
            
            Anyway, good luck to you!
