No, we write space opera. I once had the. . .benefit of overhearing a conversation in which Conflict of Honors was being described as milSF, that being during one of the periods where the genre fancied itself Beyond such childish subgenres as "space opera" to the extent that the term "space opera" could not be used, even if what was in-hand was, well, space opera. That was when we started describing our stories as "romantic science fiction" and "regencies in space" -- which got us a bunch of readers out of Romance, but didn't do much for getting us into the hands of SF readers, many of whom found the word "romance" even more offensive than "space opera" -- and "adventure SF," which is kind of a oxymoron, kind of.
