Via Singularity Hub, a story from 27 April that sounds like it should have been published 26 days earlier. I’m profoundly skeptical that this approach is feasible, but if you waved your hands hard enough you could probably sell it in a story.

Notably missing from this analysis, because he doesn’t fit into the tropes: Lois McMaster Bujold’s Miles Vorkosigan, who isn’t cured (his disabilities grow worse through the series), doesn’t become notably resentful, doesn’t become a villain, and isn’t either sexless or, really, a sage.

I’ve done this a little, but it would be interesting to do it more: describe your characters from the perspective of the other characters, which tells you a lot about both the character described and the character describing.
