I have been browsing the LMBujold list.

Have discovered that some readers think

• Gregor doesn't care all that about Miles (or that it's all tell-not-show in the books) because he doesn't haul him out of his woe-I-have-been-booted-from-the-military funks in WA and Memory


• Ges and Serg weren't, well, I suppose 'lovers' is kind of inappropriate, but anyway


• Donna/Dono isn't bi (and was all along)


• Elli is more interesting a character and more worthy of Miles than Ekaterin is

I don't think there's anyone going with e) All of the above, but you never know.


(My responses in order: take a closer look at the plot of those two books, no-brainer, Countess Vormuir springs to my mind, and ok, did you get the Beijing editions?)

Oh yes! I love Taura.

I can't help thinking that having a female mutant who could kick your arse from here to Vorkosigan Vashnoi without breaking a sweat as Lady Vorkosigan would have been very good for Barrayaran society in general, though I do see that it might have been a bit of a strain on Taura having to put up with Old Vor attitudes all the time.

Also, the prospect of hyperactive genius super-soldier babies might have made the Cetagandans worry that their breeding programme was being somehow sent up, and cause them to invade out of offended cultural pride.

Well, at least his _kids_ would be tall...

ROFLASC! Vote Taura for Lady Vorkosigan...Aral Alexander and Natalia Helen just don't enter the running against the possibility of hyperactive genius super-soldier babies (TM) ;D

Though their names do have more of a ring to them than Aral Test-Tube and Natalia We-Don't-Talk-About-That. ;)

A.A. and H.N. have the genes of Miles and Ekaterin. They are bound to find joy in large explosions, novel devices bouncing off floors, innocent bystanders fleeing in all directions, and the Conservative Counts keeling over in horror :)
