      @puppybreath I haven't read any of the Pern books in a long time. Is this following the time of Moreta? I don't recall if they consolidated into just one Hold after those books, just that it was a time of pandemic.

        No, this will be before Moreta's time, before most of the familiar Pern history, and largely in an alternate timeline where that doesn't/won't exist.

            Since I've messed something up, and I'll probably keep messing things up for awhile, I'm going to add a discord invite just in case anyone's interested! https://discord.gg/3sNUb32

                I really didn't. Ruth was just unnecessary.

                      @rnmissionrun incorrect. Dragonsong/Dragonsinger > White Dragon

                            The White Dragon > DragonQuest > DragonFlight > All the Weyrs of Pern > All Others.

                            The first one that I ever read was DragonSong (my high school library had a copy of that but none of the rest of the series). I liked it so much that I had to track down the others at the public library.

                              Masterharper of Pern is absolutely the best of the bunch.

                                @sunny isn't Masterharper the one that introduced that like-- weirdness between Menolly and Robinton. Despite her being younger than his actual son.

                                  @meg She had a crush from day one, it was pretty obvious. Sebell was his age-appropriate stand-in that she was aware that he was throwing at her.

                                  Sure, her characterisation basically became paper once her two books ended, but that dynamic was always there.

                                    I was always partial to Dragonsdawn, and the story of Sallah Telgar always got to me. I really enjoyed almost all of those books, really. I think they made a profound impression on me from a very young age. I don't remember when it was I started reading them. But I think it was around eleven or twelve.

                                      @paris Yeah, but they introduced that /he/ was like, super into her and jealous of Sebell in Masterharper. Iirc. Which, yeah, a young girl having a crush on a mentor isn't that odd, and in DragonSinger it was played pretty well with Robinton being like, look at this guy here. But the reverse is skeevy, tbh.

                                        I did not find the book (or the portrayed relationships in it) skeevy at all.

                                          Dragonsdawn was my favorite, as well. But I was also no older than 14 the last time I read a Pern book so I dunno how much this means.

                                            @sunny I might be misremembering. Or I might be remembering the wrong book. It has been a long time since I read the books.

                                            ETA: It was The White Dragon in which they explore Robinton also having feelings in return. Different thresholds for skeevy is fair! I just wanted to confirm which book it was in.
