Hannah M. asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I was wondering if you had any characters, items, places, dialogues, etc. that you've taken out of any of your stories that I could use for a story idea that had? My idea is about an island where story pieces that are thrown out, given up on or abandoned end up. I've been asking authors if they have anything I could use because I want to put some truth in the idea. It's totally fine if you don't have anything. Thanks!

Lois McMaster Bujold
Sorry, I don't have anything for you.

Upon reflection, I realize that everything I've started, I've finished. This is more parsimony than anything else, I suspect.

You can make up your own story fragments, you know. Which will be just as true as any others.

Ta, L.
