Lois McMaster Bujold:
I read in your Q&A that you read manga, and even tracked down that French Vorkosigan comic you mentioned on your blog. Do you think there is a chance of a manga adaption of your work? May I also recommend the Manga/Anime Noragami to you? I terms of long-term plot, fully formed characters that grow and change (hurt but never abandoned by their female authors) it really reminds me of your works (which I love).
Lois McMaster Bujold
Yep, I'm happy to get more manga/anime recs.
Adaptations are not up to me -- whatever company that produces them would have to contact my agent and make an offer (it's a buyer's market.)

Do the seasons of the Four Gods change at the Solstices and Equinoxes? Or do they change at the older (Celtic) "cross-quarter days"...which are still (mostly) celebrated in our calendar with Hallowe'en, Candlemas (Groundhog Day), May Day, and Lammas (about Aug 2)? The Celtic "seasons" align better with the weather than the modern ones. (If I haven't had snow before Dec. 21, there's something wrong!)

Ms Bujold Did you know Ursula Le Guin? I ask because (doh) I can't ask her... I just reread "Coming of Age in Karhide", one of her best shorts, set in Gethen/Winter https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2690808608 (which has a link to the story. Anyway -- The Gethenian aren't homo saps -- we are the exceptions in the world of mammals, being permanently in kemmer -- a perversion, to their eyes. [to be con'd]

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Any chance of a collector's edition or new version of the Vorkosigan Saga books that can be acquired as a set (boxed or otherwise)? I'd love to own (and be able to buy as gifts) the whole series in paper form... without having to hunt down each individual paperback (first world problems, I know - just wishful thinking). As a side note, I never thought the original covers quite did your writing justice.
