With regard to the question of what I would want to read, the answer is simple. Almost all of your Liaden novels are novels of self-actualization, where a character develops out of a shell or restriction and discovers him/herself as a full person. This is especially true of the women characters (Priscilla, Miri, Theo, and Aelliana, for a start to the list). Jethri and Val Con arrive at maturity in completely different pathways, etc. Ok, I'll stop. You know your own characters.
Anyway, my point is that I want to read about another character about whom we only know the tiniest bit, or from whom we had to bid our farewells when the plot turned and left him or her behind. We learned about Inas's start down the road to the Juntavas in an explosive short story, but what happened between that little jaunt across the planet and her arrival at Pat Rin's door? How about some of the characters on Dutiful Passage? Or what happened to Jethri's friend Miranda, and how about the Scout who was spending time with him?... So many questions!
