2013 Predictions
Is it cold in here?:
How long has it been, anyway? He's overdue for an appearance. I wonder what genre he's working in now.
Carl-E:
Didn't he pretty much cover them all with his last novella? Steampunk, aliens, furries, nobility, mystery and romance...
Did I miss anything?
Bluesummers:
Something kinky. In space...and/or the bottom of the sea.
Wait for it...
Space mermaids!!!

Is this being directed at me to any degree? I haven't spent a lot of time active in this forum; I apologize if I'm off the marked path, but I'll need something more than a vague ominous warning if I'm transgressing. EDIT: just read new public-warning policy. So that's all you can give? Counterproductive in some cases. If I have transgressed, I invite a mod to PM me. I gather that shipping got outrageous enough to become a real problem, but only through inference (and the existence of the rules about it).
I *was* trying to be very careful about it. I'm not saying, for example, that Station would *succeed* at wooing Hanners, only that he'd make the attempt, even at the staggering cost to himself. He's been cavalier about his not-inconsiderable wealth before.
Hmm. Maybe the bit about Claire was a bridge too far? Rethinking. She's interested in boys, but Marten isn't her "type", so that may not work after all. But Marten seemed a bit offput that he didn't qualify for consideration, that's why I'd thought maybe he's interested in her. And I do predict that Marten will get into a relationship, I was just trying to offer an alternative to the original poster whose format I swiped. Who received no such warning. The idea being, you know, make my post less plageristic? (I did leave one item unaltered...)
Everything else is an existing, canonical relationship (or non-relationship)
None of us are Jeph, anything we "predict" here is sheer speculation. And I thought that the speculations I've offered here were well within the bounds of what we'd seen, in canon. Am I wrong?
pwhodges:
The public warning mechanism was enabled when the forum got extremely busy and somewhat heated for a while; it was used once, and hasn't been needed since.
Jeph's last known view on pregnancy is that he will not consider such an arc (think how people reacted to the miscarriage arc in C-A-D).
Shipping is a slippery slope; we prefer to prevent the loss of control that becomes inevitable after a while; this thread, though historical now, still contains the best account of why we feel this way.
