SF Tidbits for 12/15/07 2007

IOW, if one thinks Pern is fantasy since the Pern residents live in a seemingly preindustrial society and environment and there are dragons, well you might want to reconsider.

World Building: Fantasy vs. Science Fiction 2005

The technologically archaic world of Pern is inundated by silvery threads (space spores that devour all organic material) every 250 "turns" when the Red Star orbits near.

REVIEW: The Science Fiction Hall Of Fame Volume III 2004

The 'Pern' series by Anne McCaffrey is similarly 'science fantasy' --- it's set on another planet, and though there are dragons, they were created by genetic engineering.

I also really like the "Pern" series, Julia Quinn, Nora Roberts, Lisa Keeypas, Pamela Morsi and Julie Garwood no matter what name she is writing under.

Chris Garden-the Mouth Organ; Ben L. Geer, who didn't exactly send a pun but pleaded for more Xanth because it is his only link to reality (I know the feeling!); Bern "Pern" Eagan (evidently a refugee from another series — we do get all kinds here), who introduced me to his friend the Centaur of Attention, though that creature fled before I could capture him for this novel, being shy; and John Caporale, who sent me this plot summary: Dor and his friends use the Centaur Aisle of magic to cross over to the author's CL.STER science fiction framework and explore for an Ancient Site.

We didn't move at all, but the books seem to be the only thing that have survived for me as well - those tattered Pern paperbacks are the first thing that I can remember having saved to buy, and my original copy of "Alice/Through the Looking Glass" has literally been with me as long as I can remember.
