Hanna asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Do you ever write stories about your worlds and characters that, for whatever reason, you can't publish? I.e. crossing over universes, alternate universe, divergent timeline, or just situations that would be impossible in the canon but you want to see anyway?

Lois McMaster Bujold
While I may have run such thoughts through my mind, if not often, I've never had the time or energy to divert to writing anything like that out. If I can write (or even imagine) at all, I'd rather be writing pay copy that I can actually share.

Littering the mental roadside along the way are doubtless the desiccated corpses of story ideas that never gained traction and were superceded, but I don't give them much brain room either.

Ta, L.
