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.)

(but I think by saying you weren’t sure what Moravian meant you already answered my question. Sorry! I just could not stop thinking about a planet that seems very Christian in their makeup and yet were so radically socially progressive about gender and sex, and the herm population always made me think of them. question mark to satisfy the ask-field-robot)?

I have been re-reading Penric's Demon and just noticed this sentence: "Sorcerer had certainly not been on Pen's former list of scholarly ambitions, but then, neither had theologian, divine, physician, teacher, lawyer or any other high trade . . ." Then I noticed that with the possible exception of lawyer, Pen has now studied/become all of the above. Did you realize this when you first invented Penric and Des?

I've read my way through almost the whole Vorkosigan series in the last couple of weeks, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Have you ever done any "dream casting" of actors/celebrities as your characters? (As someone who has a hard time drawing a mental picture from text, especially when it comes to faces—it's a weird neurological disconnect—I'd love to be able to "see" them as you visualized them.)
