LMB = Goddess

[icepixie]

I recced the Vorkosigan series to someone on the TrekBBS tonight, and of course, that meant I had to go and reread parts of ACC--specifically, the dinner party chapter and the, er, fallout--for, uh, "research." Yeah.

The Cordelia in my mind is officially played by Francesca Hunt now. It's so perfect. And you know what? If things keep on as they are, Sheppard and Weir are so gonna turn into Cordelia and Aral. They've got the snark, they've got the telepathic eye conversations, and they're already babysitting a bunch of high-strung types--not the same profession as Miles, but I'm sure more than a few of them are similar in personality and levels of neuroticness. Okay, John and Elizabeth aren't not quite as snarky as the Vorkosigans, and Lizzie isn't as evil as Cordelia, but the resemblance is still enough for me to giggle at.

(No idea what I'm talking about? Hie thee to a bookstore or library and pick up a copy of Cordelia's Honor (it might also be found as two separate books, Shards of Honor and Barrayar), by Lois McMaster Bujold. Then buy all the rest of the books, 'cause you'll want them. Promise.)

*squeal* I can see it!

You know, you of all people could find a way to write a crossover.

Isn't it totally gonna happen? Any kids I ever write for them are now gonna be named Miles.

You are such an enabler. You know that? And dammit, now I wanna write that...

I don't know why that makes me so ridiculously happy. And hey! McKay can babysit!

Good, cuz I wanna read it. =)

He so can.

*mutters* Gah. Of course, this will entail generous re-reading of the books, since I want to be sure of my characterizations... ;)

Darn!

*tries finding Cordelia's Honor on scifi bookshelf here*

[icepixie]

I know...such a hardship...

*giggles at your icon*

[comedownstairs.livejournal.com]

I'm going to curse you, btw. I shouldn't be picking up LMB. I'm trying to write original fic here. It'll taint my work, I tell you. Taint it!

I've always found that reading her (or any good author) improves my work with each reading. It's great stuff!

[pellmelody.livejournal.com]

You scare me. Francesca Hunt, SAJV, J/E, and now Lois McMaster Bujold and Shards Of Honor. Were we separated at birth or something?!

[icepixie]

Eeeee! Another Bujold fan! Which one's your favorite book? Fave character?

Were we separated at birth or something?!

I seem to have been separated at birth with a number of people. Farscape, Stargate, and SAJV fans all tend to cluster together (I think it has something to do with them all being on Sci-Fi ;)),a nd then a lot of those same people seem to be LMB fans, probably due to...uh...oh, wait. Actually, I think I introduced most of the LMB fans I know to her. Hee.

Anyway, hooray for another twin! ;)

I love Barryarr (spelling?) and Shards Of Honor esp. I'll admit to being very far behind in all the Miles books. I need to sit down and re-read the whole series again and get caught up. I also love Ethan of Athos. Cracks me up.

[icepixie]

I love all of them for different reasons...but I think Shards, Barrayar, The Warrior's Apprentice and A Civil Campaign all share the top spot. The others are all so very fabulous, too, though...

How far have you gotten in the series? I was rather disappointed in the latest one, Diplomatic Immunity. It just didn't have the same spark as the others.

[pellmelody.livejournal.com]

I haven't gotten that far. I can't remember the name of the last one I read. I haven't read "A Civil Campaign." I was told that "Diplomatic Immunity" wasn't as good as the others either.

[icepixie]

Ooooh, definitely read A Civil Campaign. And Memory, too, that one's awesome, and necessary for really getting ACC. I was less than thrilled with the one that comes between them (Komarr), but it does set up ACC...

[nuclearangel.livejournal.com]

yay for LMB!!! I still have many books of hers to read... I buy books to have them on my shelf when I'm ready to read. It's a great idea *g*

[icepixie]

Hee. How far have you gotten in the series?

[nuclearangel.livejournal.com]

Um... got up to Borders of Infinity. Still have four book on the shelf and diplomatic immunity to buy.

[icepixie]

Dude, Memory and ACC are the best. You neeeeeeeeeeeeed to get to them. Like, right now. I'm using my Super Shipper Twin Power to compell you to read them...right...now...

But Diplomatic Immunity is...less than LMB's usual standard, IMO. Sigh.

[alethialia.livejournal.com]

I need to stay away from books you rec. I'm in the midst of Thief of Time right now (yeah, I'm slow) and OMG. Funniest. Shit. Ever.

But I don't have time for breathing, let alone stalking new authors! ::sigh:: It's so hard being your twin, I'm telling you.

[icepixie]

No, you need to read them all, because they're good. ;)

Hee! Another Pratchett fan!

But I don't have time for breathing, let alone stalking new authors! ::sigh::

You need to make time for LMB. Don't care how. Dude, all your shipper relatives are addicted to these books. Get with the program. *g*

It's so hard being your twin, I'm telling you.

*snicker*
