keep running

[aria]

I have realized that my to-do list for the foreseeable future looks a lot like:

+ read the rest of the Vorkosigan Saga
+ read lots of Patrick O'Brian
+ read various manuscripts for my internship
+ write languishing WIPs
+ write slightly-less-languishing original fiction

All I'm saying is, if I unexpectedly disappear, it's probably because I have DROWNED IN WORDS.

In extremely related news, I've decided that I obviously don't have nearly enough writing to do already! Because I'd really like to write some Valentine's Day ficlets. Comment here with a pairing (from any fandom you know I know/write) and I will write them having a (first) kiss. I won't reply in comments; it'll all go up in one post on the 14th. But I think this would be fun! Have at it. :D

I think I am where you are! Or, at least, I was reading old library single editions, not the omnibus ones, but I last finished Vor Game. I REALLY LOVE THEM. I have what I am aware is a slightly odd relationship with Miles, in that I read the Cordelia books first and probably love her and Aral best forever and ever, so reading about Miles' exploits is a lot like reading about the adventures of my best friends' child. I adore him and I want him to do well and I love that the Vorkosigans are a FAMILY OF NUTCASES. :D

Oooh, you are in prime Miles/Gregor land. /badperson

It -- it isn't okay to ship them? It should ABSOLUTELY be okay to ship them!

Vor Game is also the last book I completed (just started Falling Free), and I have to concur. Miles and Gregor are entirely shippable.

I started with the Cordelia stories also, based on a friend's recommendation, and I think it works really well that way. However, I find that I'm more attached to Miles than Cordelia and Aral. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but something about Miles's personality has really drawn me in.
