Spoilers for the upcoming Vorkosigan book, apparently?

Notttttt sure how I feel about this! That one fanfic's going to be getting a lot of new readers, I think.

It's just, I don't want a new POV character, I want, like, Cordelia stomping around the galaxy messing with people's heads for three hundred pages. She goes on an adventure, with Elli, and they make out. And it ends up in a Space Tabloid and Miles's life is ruined. Yes, that's the book I want.

If there were only some sort of system whereby every time you write a fanfic you're making a $1 bet against odds of it becoming canon, because that's the biggest payout I've seen since the second RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie.

I have to admit... I like your version much better.

(And has anyone checked if LMB did that reading on April 1? If not, I wonder if heads are exploding at Baen...)

I checked. The OP said it was on the weekend, and April 1 was a Wednesday.

I prefer your version, but this fixes one of the lines that always bugged me in Barrayar.

"Was bisexual," she corrected absently, looking fondly across the room. "Now he's monogamous."

Alas it still isn't clear if she's realised they're not synonyms :/
