You've never read Philip's theory that Sethra is Paarfi? I think if the archives are searchable by author and you search for Sethra, Lavode, Paarfi and Mario, you should get Philip's very clever line of conjecture unmasking Paarfi as a puppet of Sethra's, or maybe a figment of her imagination. Although I don't buy it completely, it's still one of my favorite theories on this list. The thing about this theory is that it means that Paarfi's writing style is a game, like Brust's. I like it better if Paarfi was deadly serious with his style.
