Imagine a favorite media series - sprawling, incredible masterpiece, moving, imaginative, has huge impact on you. But you've never met another person who's seen it, and nobody watches when u suggest it. So lonely, and is basically what being a teen reading fantasy series is like

I only discovered her last year, and the climax of Paladin of Souls just absolutely destroyed me

how famous is bujold among the general population? I feel like i've only heard her mentioned among the ratsphere but she's like won like four hugos

Bro she is Soo good. Haven't read the fantasy stuff yet but the Vorkosigon books are so much fun. "Winterfair Gifts" was one of the only pieces of fiction that has made me cry from happiness. So corny, so often lowbrow & aimed at teen boys, but such an absolute pleasure.

You need to play Cordelia. No one else.

Vorkosigan forever!

But the problem is when they do, people ruin it x.x

Speaking of teen fantasy series, I can't believe there's no adaptations of Raimond Feist. Probably want to see that even more than the Vorkosigan stuff

No, let them eat recycled dreck forever.
