Hello Ms. Bujold, my family loves your books and we are all wondering if you would even consider making one of your books into a graphic novel?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Well, that's not up to me; some maker of graphic novels would have to ask to license it.
There was one such deal a few years back in French for The Warrior's Apprentice, with Soliel, who were going to do the book in three volumes. The first (which I had thought was pretty good, art-wise) sold so badly, they never did the following volumes.
Either my stories are hard to translate into visual media, or the audience for same isn't much into stores like mine. Or both. Although one data point is not a proof, it was rather daunting. So I'm not holding my breath.

Dear Ms. Bujold, Hope you don't mind information rather than a question? I thought you might enjoy this Washington Post article, as what is happening with maggots is remarkably similar to your Butter Bugs idea in the Vorkosigan Saga: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/07/03/maggots-could-revolutionize-global-food-supply-heres-how/ Sincerely, Brad Berens

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I've created a setting for use in an RPG game with my friends that uses ideas (especially the practical theology), places, and names from your Chalion books. I won't charge money for it or try to gain users beyond my gaming group, but would like to use https://worldanvil.com to organize the setting info. I think this makes it publicly available. Is acceptable to you?

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/apr/25/artificial-womb-for-premature-babies-successful-in-animal-trials-biobag Have you seen this? Also, I've been recommending your series to all my friends because we were having discussions about the societal implications of artificial wombs and cryofreezing. So thank you for hours of entertainment and education!
