Cordelia question!

[shimotsuki]

To any Vorkosigan fans out there: Do we know Cordelia's mother's first name?

ETA: Oh, that's interesting, someone has just posted a story where she's "Elizabeth." So is that canon?

ETA2: Wow, that was quick -- yes, she's Elizabeth. Thank you!

Good luck to everybody writing for the metamorfic_moon Summer Hallows Jumble and the bujold_fic Ficathon as deadlines

Elizabeth! She's the doctor whose article Ethan reads in Ethan of Athos.

Oh, excellent! I had forgotten about that, and EoA is one canon source it wouldn't have occurred to me to check for this question.

Thank you.

I can't see the name Cordelia without hearing Anne Shirley say, "Could you call me Cordelia?"

LOL!

Brace yourself, because I saw your post about book suggestions (which I'll hopefully read at lunch), and I'm definitely on an LMB kick lately, Ficathon aside. ;)

[mrstater]

Oh good, because the Ender series has broken me into the sci-fi genre! I've been meaning to tell you that I think I can finally read LMB's stuff since I'm using an ebook reader and don't have to see the cheesy covers. ;)

[shimotsuki]

LOL! Can't you just cover them with brown paper or something? Maybe they have the right idea in Japan, where they put a cover (with the bookstore's logo) over a book when you buy it...

Seriously, I don't think I can say that I like the Miles books better than Chalion and Paladin, but certainly as much -- and there's a very thoroughly developed universe, too.

Hope first day back is going okay, and yes, much good luck to you re deadlines!:D

This icon is meant as a reflection of my current state of mind, not yours! LOL(

[shimotsuki]

That icon is a great match for my current state of mind as well! ;)

Today was officially "registration day," or something. Classes start tomorrow, and my first classes aren't actually until Wednesday, so I haven't technically started-started yet. Today I was scrambling around online all day, trying to finalize the reading list for my seminar... I'm looking forward to the classes but at the same time not looking forward to the time-suck.

Now: Can I come up with a Vorkosigan ficlet in the next three hours? Here goes! ;P

I'd put money on it. :D

[shimotsuki]

You'd have won, lol, but probably not high stakes, as it's only a ficlet. ;)

(Another wonderful icon! You do have the best icons.)
