makes sense!
I know a couple of Baen writers who have done this with mixed results--thank you for keeping the Vorkosigan books yours!
I do love the best stories that come out of shared worlds, but the need to fill an anthology often means we wade through a lot of drek to get there - including drek the original author approved - and I'd hate to see that in the Vorkosigan universe, which is kind of sacred to me because of your writing voice, which is unique and fitting to all of the stories. Please do save any experimentation in this area for a project that really excites and inspires you, should such ever come about.
Your writing is too unique and Special Lois. Any author who tried to work in your universe would be a pale shadow compared to the rest of your stuff. Instead of more writers, I think the focus should go into Escobar life extension research or as a last ditch method, Jacksonian brain-to-clone transplants. That's where I'll spend my Betan dollars.
Wow. I'd never known that was being called "sharecropping," but I suppose it makes sense.
