Lois McMaster Bujold:
I've tried to picture what a nerve-disruptor would look like, and find a conflict between descriptions of it's parabolic bell-shaped muzzle and the ease with which wielders of the weapon are able to holster and aim them. I appreciate that it would loom larger-than-life for anyone looking down the business-end of one and that most descriptions are from that perspective. How big are they really?
Lois McMaster Bujold
As you like. Note the parabola could well be something that unfurls or deploys when the weapon is activated/powered on.

I saw a question below about a book about Miles' children - I second the notion. I'd love to read it. But have you considered "going back in time" and writing another book about a younger Miles? Such as his time as an Imperial Auditor? I love your books but Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen seemed so final.

Hi there! I wish I could rant on about how much I love your work, but space is limited, so you'll have to trust me on that. I find myself enjoying your romances more than those in most fiction I read--definitely in part for the high-quality witty banter, but also because you write characters who really seem to complement each other. Is this based on your experience of romance? Some idealized version of love? Both?

Why - according to my opinion - did you create a cripple hero in Vorkosigan Saga?
