Names The Same is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 2 (click to see context) :
* NamesTheSame: There are two shellpeople named Simeon - one appearing in ''Partner Ship'' and the other in ''The City Who Fought'' (also having a cameo in ''The Ship Who Won''). Both are managers (albeit for different locations) and even their designations are fairly close - VS-895 and SSS-900-C, respectively.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: In ''The Ship Who Sang'', there's no digital recording: all records are on audio tape or film strip. And although there's mention of computers, it's with the implication that they're restricted to organizations (and probably large and immobile). In particular, there's no mention of computers on brainships; Helva controls everything in her shipbody directly. (This is one thing that was changed in the 1990s sequels, where brainships do incorporate computers, integrated with the shellperson through a BrainComputerInterface.)

* CreatorBreakdown: The first story, in which Helva meets her first brawn, falls in love with him, and [[spoiler: has to watch him die an unnecessary death]] was written while [=McCaffrey=] was grieving for the death of her father.
