Permaybehaps this is an oft-answered question, but I can't help asking whether there is a Major Motion Picture franchise offer on the table? Or a TV show? It seems a crime not to translate it onto film, so many many wonderful characters!

Nope, no media adaptations on the horizon at this time.
The notion that the stories or characters would survive such an adaptation in any recognizable form seems optimistic to me; my two prior adventures in that direction certainly didn't. (A short story adapted to a half-hour show, which was actually produced, back in the 80s, and a feature film offer in the 90s that only went as far as a jaw-droppingly dire script.)

I just saw this:AI writing "'partner" Sudowrite have an "Ursula K. Le Guin Bot." Did Le Guin or her estate sell rights to this company?" This company has an AI bot giving "author feedback"! This horrifies me. I wanted to warn you about these shenanigans, so that no one pulls this on you or anyone else.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Does it annoy you when people tell you their dreams? Last night I dreamed that an insane seafarer showed up, trying to deliver to Penric a boatful of holy animals. Penric was really not sure what to do with them, but the man turned out to be neither exactly insane nor demon-possessed, but instead some kind of botched and inside-out saint. (No idea.) Pen was trying to think what would happen if he brought him to Iroki.
