Anyway with so many people parsing all of Mr. Weber's pronouncements - and he is so kind to answer a lot of questions if they do not impinge on Tum-te-tum - the Honorverse universe feels very *real* in a way that many others do not and that I think is an important reason why the books sell so well after 18 volumes - 14 novels , 4 ss collections - and counting and people beg for them even as drafts
I agree. I think David's engagement with his readers has gone some way toward fostering that "reality". And David has been fortunate enough to avoid the problems Joe Straczynski encounter with Babylon 5, where he constantly had to repeat "Don't post story ideas! If you do, I'm outta here!" because of liability concerns.
