Pardon if this has been asked before - I loaded about 300 of the Asks here and didn't see it, so... I've been reading through some older stuff (Cordelia's Honor at the mo) & I keep seeing the word "bemused" used as a synonym for "amused", rather than "confused/bewildered". Is this a deliberate subversion (ie you're trying to get that definition more widely used), or is it an error? Loving everything so far :)

No error. See definitions 2 and 3 ferex here:

I think Penric is now one of my top male characters to have dinner with, right behind Cazaril and Peter Whimsey. And I would love to hear more about any/all of his adventures as they occur to you. But Bosha, Tanar and Adelis are the unresolved storyline that itches at me and makes me curious because I can't see a happy ending for them. Can you?

Do you follow any online authors? I enjoy a few, like Drew Hayes, who post a couple chapters a week from his latest work. Allowing fans to act as beta readers, before the final polish. Another good one is Wildbow. Since they write just for online, they aren't restricted in length and write until the story is told. I think Worm, (https://parahumans.wordpress.com), is the best one. It's about equal to 10 books.
