Hello Mr. Bear,
I just recently read "Sisters," in the collection _W^3: Women in Deep Time_ and noticed a naming inconsistency. I was rather surprised by it, since it looks like the second or third time this story has been published, so I would have thought it had been caught by now by some editor or another. It *has* crossed my mind that maybe someone else has already let you know about this error multiple times, and this is a regular "bear" you have to deal with. In case no one has contacted you about it yet, though, I thought I would drop you a line for any further reprints. The supporting character of "Rick Fayette" morphs into "John Fayette" towards the end of the story.
Thanks for writing thoughtful science fiction.
Best,
E Thomas

That's nothing - I once read a novel (I believe it was one of Mario Puzo's lesser works) where a minor character of an slim brunette morphed into a curvy blonde!

Very clearly transhumanist.

No no, he was just aesthetically confused. Shoulda just been a curvy (an thaeck, aye) brunette.
