Lois McMaster Bujold:
You have introduced many side characters that might be worth stories of their own. I am thinking of Miles' step son and Jin & Mina (from Cyroburn). Any chance you might doe something about them or the further adventures of Ivan Vorpatril? I think any of those could give a different perspective on Barrayar.

Nothing is promised, nothing is ruled out, but at present those ideas don't spark anything for me.
Readers often ask for more of the same, but I think in many cases that's not what they mean; what they are really saying is, "Give me a story that will make me feel the way that one did!" Which may actually be quite a different thing, but is much harder to articulate.
(Or, for all those fractal follow-ups, there's always Fanficwoman. To the rescue!)

This isn't a comment about a particular book, but I see you participate here. I thought, what better place to give a compliment? I was severely ill last year. So sick I couldn't understand anything new or even pick up my favorite comfort read books. OK, audio books. I spent many hours listening to your books I've read so many times. Thank you, because it was an awful year and your stories helped get me through it.

Hi, Lois! I just wanted to reach out to thank you so much for your amazing books. I read Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls back in high school, and I liked them, but I'm rereading them now as an adult and fully appreciating them in ways that are new. Thank you for writing books that stand the test of time. Curse of Chalion is magnificent and a breath of fresh air! Hope you don't mind me thanking in your questions?
