I heard from a Pern RP I'm on and was horrified. As was my mother when I told her. I've been reading Pern for years, and the fact that I RP it should be enough of an indication of my feelings on the matter.
This is what I posted on the other site, because I don't have time to write something again now:
"I had heard about Anne McCaffery's Dragonrider of Pern books from the time I was a child because my mother read them and loved them, but I never got to read them myself until I was about eleven and mom thought I was old enough. I feel in love instantly. I immediately graduated from reading children's books (Harry Potter and Animal Ark predominately) into adult books, and primarily her Dragonriders of Pern.
I was enthralled, and quickly ate through all of the books in the series that we had. It wasn't until years later that I realized there was a whole world of people out there that also loved the books (no one else I knew had ever read them, and I was fairly ignorant of the online world until high school). I discovered the world of Pern RP, and all of the lovely people here at Solaria. And for that I have to thank Anne McCaffery.
She is gone now, but she is not forgotten."
