Created: “Catch” (Chapter Fifteen, Dragonchoice II: Dragonchosen).

Background: My introduction to Pern occurred in elementary school when I bought “The Dragonlover’s Guide to Pern” from a science fiction book club. We read “The Smallest Dragonboy” in class a year or so later, and I became a de facto Pern expert. Incidentally, our class project on the story also marked my first foray into drawing the Pernese dragon.

After I read the actual books, I discovered fandom and, eventually, Faye, who has utterly corrupted my perception of the world (Pern and otherwise) ever since. I have happily served as her Sub-Dictator whenever possible.

Favourite media: Old-fashioned pencil and paper.
