Bujold reading-order guide to be relocated

As most Goodreads denizens may know by now, GR is deleting the "creative writing" section of their users' blogs on Sept. 1st.

I had been using it as, I thought, a good place to keep a permanent link to my reading-order guide, and had distributed the link far and wide. Wherever it has been shared, it is now going to click on frustration, sadly.

For the moment, I will repost the guide here on my blog periodically, till I find it a better home. Apologies to future net surfers who will follow the old URL to a dead link.

The other two items on it were a recent interview not published elsewhere, and the first draft of my Gerould family history chapbook. I'd figured the latter would serve readers who don't do the Kindle ecosystem, but alas. The interview I have backed up on my computer, and I'll have to figure out where else it might be permalinked. Note that any comments on the entries will presumably also be erased.

The reading-order guide may also be found in the back of every single one of my indie-published ebooks, but it's surprising how many people don't seem to find it there.

This is getting longish, so I'll put the first repost in a separate post to follow.

Ta, Lois.

Yes, the lack of a search function in my Q&A column is a frustration to me as well as readers, as many questions come up repeatedly, but sorting through over a thousand entries for subjects has become impractical.

Good heavens.

Would it be OK to have my Vorkosigan Wiki person link this?

Ta, Lois.

So useful! Clicking on the comments, however, just brings one back to Goodreads, so if there is further discussion in the comments, it will be lost. Hm, it just links back to Goodreads' main page, too, not that that will matter once the other content goes away.

The GR Q&A column will remain -- it's just the Writings section that's going away.

Karenhunt Wiki person:
I'm more than happy to link to it (or copy it at some point)! For now, it can go into a link on front page.

You can see it as top item under "Things to See", a new section on the site's front page: vorkosigan.fandom.com /wiki/Vorkosigan_Wiki

Oh, thank you, Karen!
