Plans for WorldCon this year? I just signed up as a voting member (and virtual attendee) today (2/3/24), just a bit late to nominate. (I also read about the 2023 controversy. Sigh.) (Been reading too much murderbot.)

When I semi-retired a few years back, the retirement part was mostly from business travel and public speaking, neither of which are comfortable for me anymore. (Although public speaking has managed to follow me home through Zoom, etc., oops. Still not comfortable, but at least no airports.) The writing part, happily, is on the semi side of that hyphen, slowed but not impeded.
So, no Glasgow for me this year, although I have fond memories of the last Worldcon there in the 90s -- Mirror Dance won a Hugo, for a memento still on my shelves.

Bujold-sensei, I want to add my thanks to the pile--thank you so much for sharing your stories. They have given me many hours of quiet enjoyment and great conversation. I've been thinking about the "son/daughter of a great man syndrome" you have mentioned. Miles is constantly chasing his father's achievements--will Sasha and his siblings face the same future? How does M&E's parenting differ from C&A's? Thank you!

Hi Lois, I can honestly say you are my favorite author, especially with your ability to work across genres and produce wonderful characters.
Re-reading the Vorkosiganverse, and had a question I couldn’t find an answer to:
Given their different cultures, was there disagreement between Aral and Cordelia about the morality of him romancing a younger subordinate?
Thank you for all the happy rainy afternoons!
