Lois McMaster Bujold:
Some authors have chosen writers to continue their story lines, either as co-authors or in their own names. Have you considered doing that with the Vorkosigan saga?

This is not something that I would care to do.
Though not for lack of having been asked. But it runs very counter to the series' thematic structure (yes, it has one), and even more counter to the intuitive way I write. It would not only be far more work, and much less fun, than writing tales myself, it would block my work on other, newer things, dragging me backward. Not a win from my point of view.

Hello Lois! First of all, thank you for your books. I have enjoyed them a lot. Now, my real question/thoughts. The Miles universe is pretty big. The lore is astonishing (and I LOVE a good lore)... But I think it is pretty much there, waiting for a good story to be written. For example, something about Piotr on the First Cetagandan War. Also, how would you feel about opening Miles universe to another author?
