Even when they're not responses they are still part of a conversation. My main series is about a teen girl from a crappy High-G world. She escapes, lies about her age, and becomes a starship mechanic. Even if not intentionally something like Honor Harrington influences my book.

Did Gene Wolfe acknowledge TDE as an influence? I’d just like to know more.
