It will vary with the ba, but a tendency to treat them like what used to be called "a red-headed stepchild" rotating with "highly prized science project" is probably baked in. Which can't be a good combo, psychologically.

I just did my annual rerad of Komarr/ACC and wanted to thank you for writing. I've gotten a bunch of friends into your work and there's almost always a Vorkosigan or Pen/Des readthrough happening in my Discord server's liveblog channel. You've enriched all our lives immeasurably; thank you again. Here is a question mark to satisfy Goodreads?

Hi Lois. I've been wondering about nonromantic relationships in your writing. It seems to me your intense friendships pretty much all have complex power dynamics -- you don't do simple strong friendship without either romance, or guardianship and authority and different sorts of control? Am I wrong about that, and if not are there conscious reasons for it? (I really enjoy the way you do handle power dynamics, btw.)

I'm pretty early into the Vorkosigan Companion, and enjoying it very much. It's a bit like chatting with you, a cup of tea (or stronger beverage) at hand. Thanks for sharing things like what books have inspired you, and your enjoyment of Tom Lehrer! Random question - did you read books by John Wyndham? You don't mention them, so perhaps they weren't enjoyable to you. I would ask if I could, so I thought I would..
