Tyler asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

In a past post years ago you mentioned that you listened to the music of Dave Carter and Tracy Grammar a lot while writing the Sharing Knife series. Because of your mention I now own all those albums - Big fan - Carter will be missed. Their "When I Go" album perfectly compliments the Sharing Knife series. Which begs the question....Is the Sharing Knife series the Ultimate FanFic for Carter & Grammer's music?

Lois McMaster Bujold Well, a great many sources went into those books, but if you want to think of them that way, why not. :-)

Ta, L.

First, thank you for all you've written, especially the Vorkosigan Saga; Aral and Jole and Cordelia's relationship meant a lot to me; I've been in a similar position to Jole's re: Aral (age, power, love), and "but he's ooold! it's immoral! how dare?" But re: the Betan herms. I know they're not intersex, but I am, and reading them meant a lot to me. I'd been wondering if there was any early Moravian influence there?
