Yes, that's also implied in the first one. So, half-cousins, I guess. The British are less stressed about consanguinity.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. I'm kind of shocked that Patrick Rothfuss wasn't nominated for Best Novel for "A Wise Man's Fear".
But how awesome was it that Community was nominated for "Remedial Chaos Theory"?!

That is pretty awesome!!
And Seanan was nominated four times, which is the first time a woman has received four Hugo nominations in the same year!

not your mom's socks.
I'm just reading the noms now. So many great stories (and scripts) on here. Seannan's amazing, PC.
FWIW, "The Ice Owl," by Caroline Ives Gilman blew me away. Same with "The Man Who Bridged the Mist." I need to read "Countdown" now. Charlie Jane Anders' "Six Months, Three Days," and E. Lily Yu's "The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees," are two of my favorite shorts from this past year, so I'm excited to see them there. "Paper Menagerie" wasn't my favorite Ken Liu story this year, but then again, there were so many to choose from.

I loved "Six Months, Three Days," too. Glad it was nominated. Great concept well executed.

For you InCryptid fans, Seanan has posted a new short story. It looks like she's doing the story of Jonathan Healy and Frances Brown in shorts; "No Place Like Home" follows "One Hell of a Ride," which follows "The Flower of Arizona," which I haven't read.
I haven't read this one yet either, but it sounds like the mice are in it, at least!
