Diana talks about Jamie and Dougal's relationship
Here's a fascinating post from Diana Gabaldon on Compuserve, about the very complex relationship between Jamie and Dougal. Written as an answer to Sam Heughan's question about why she'd made Jamie left-handed, it's one of the best and most comprehensive explanations of Dougal and Jamie's relationship that I've ever seen.
Note to the Heughligans: Diana was kind enough to share this particular response on Compuserve, but please don't go out of your way to mention that to Sam. Diana says,
But since Diana did post this explanation in public, I would encourage you all to take the time to read it. I love it when she goes into great detail about the characters like that.

I won't generally post stuff about this sort of discussion, though; I don't mind talking about my "process" (for lack of a better word <g>) at all, and don't mind people watching me work, but I don't know how Sam feels about it and he's entitled to privacy in which to do his own work/prep.Sam Heughan is absolutely entitled to have discussions in private with Diana about the characters, their background, their motivations, etc., and the last thing I want is to make him feel self-conscious about asking Diana questions!

Must get started on rereading the books...Thank you Diana.
