Stolen from several friends:

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other.

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

The Horned Hopper is going to stand by her attempts to refrain from asking *really* personal questions that are none of her business this time. I'm proud of myself (g).

How did you find the Vorkosiverse and what led you to the Bujold List?

I first heard of LMB on the old SciFi Forum on CompuServe. Her works were much discussed, and with such enthusiasm that I copied down a list of the novels. I didn't do anything with it, though, until Barrayar was serialized in Analog. I was hooked. I went out and bought everything of hers that I could find. (I'm still more a fan of Cordelia and, to a lesser extent, Aral than I am of Miles, entertaining though he is.)

Some time later, on a whim, I Googled on "Vorkosigan"; some of the hits were in the old archives. I read a few passages, decided that these sounded like interesting people, hunted around for instructions, and joined up.
