Eliana asked Jo Walton:

Is there a possibility of another book collection of some of your Tor posts? I know I could pull them up on the computer, but I would love to have more of them gathered together... When you were posting regularly on Tor I used to check there regularly - there is something in the way you burble about books, even books I don't like, which gives me great joy. Thank you for giving it so much time!

Jo Walton There's going to be a book called "An Informal History of the Hugos 1953-2000" out from Tor next year which will is my Hugo posts, plus some of the best comments, and some of my posts about Hugo winning and nominated books -- ones that are not in WMTBSG. It's not impossible we'll do another collection of just random fun posts sometime, but it's not in the works at the moment.

I'm glad you like them.

Ashleigh asked Jo Walton:

I just finished reading "Among Others" and absolutely loved it! I was immediately struck by the industrial ruins that figure heavily. I was just wondering if you had a strict purpose with this symbolism (e.g. the decline of industry paralleling a national "loss of innocence") or it was more intended to simply evoke a mood? (Perhaps I'm overthinking it!)

M Scott asked Jo Walton:

In Among Others, the action takes place after the climactic battle. Was that the intent form the beginning? Did you write (or at least sketch out, think about writing) the earlier conflict? How were your choices made? Thanks.
