Slade Trillgon Endless Possibilities Inc. 65	Posted - 2011.11.22 23:20:00 - [3] - Quote So many good memories of reading her books as a child. Long live the dragonriders of Pern. For those that are unfamiliar with who she is , her she is. Also, OOPE would have been the place to post this. Slade
Jita Alt666 571	Posted - 2011.11.22 23:24:00 - [4] - Quote Have not read anything by her, name seemed familiar, wandered around house for about 3 minutes before I saw her name in a shiny font on the front of a tatty paperback, propping up front of my bedroom TV so I can see it from the mezzanine.

ALL the dragon stuff in Avatar was ripped from her work, even Cameron said. Well, my assessment of "terrible" is my own (I can't stand her writing) but I can't argue about her influence, or the fact that a lot of my friends really enjoyed her writing. In that sense, the world has lost a great writer. Leaves only the fresh scent of pine.

Morganta Peripheral Madness The Midget Mafia 392	Posted - 2011.11.23 23:12:00 - [11] - Quote that is a shame The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy

I am truly confused by this. because even though they are different from each other science fiction and fantasy share common roots mostly the fact that most of these writers all contributed to Asimov's magazines and most got their starts there horror too there's a few first printings of Stephen King mixed in with those old mags Those of us old enough to in the know enough to understand appreciate the thread The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure.

Cygnet Lythanea World Welfare Works Association 3	Posted - 2011.11.24 01:24:00 - [21] - Quote It's sad that Anne McCaffery has passed on. She was a wonderful person and a great writer, and she will be missed. I met her, many years ago, and the world is a poorer place without her. And, also, I do not find the usual EvE forum antics appropriate to this subject. If you wish to act the fool, please do it elsewhere.

Ranger 1 Ranger Corp 353	Posted - 2011.11.24 03:58:00 - [26] - Quote Many people probably got their first taste of the fantasy genre from reading the Pern series, whether they remember it or not. I enjoyed her work, although I personally cut my teeth on Edgar Rice Burroughs (yes, another "terrible" writer to whom we all owe a great deal). Anne will be missed. To kill the enemy and break their toys! It's not so much a mission statement,-áit's more like a family motto.

Met him at the Sheraton 'Hospitality Room' at WorldCon 1988 in New Orleans. Let's just say...I was meeting a 'childhood hero',,,,,,,,,and DRUNK does does not even begin to describe his state !! ROFL. Love him anyway. We've ALL been there. BUT.......that's New Orleans. I do not remember Anne being listed attending that year. OMG He Spent His Free-áAURUM !

Halcyon Ingenium The Randomites 26	Posted - 2011.11.24 04:04:00 - [28] - Quote CCP's owned defined purpose of various forums clearly makes this OoPE. You would be getting fewer trolls if you had: Posted in the appropriate location. Not responded the expected fan-boy butt-hurt over any disagreement over the quality of said authors work. What you can learn from this if you are not autistic: Know your audience (and post in appropriate forums). Ignore trolls if you do not want to attract more trolls. What is probably going to happen: Moderator is going to move this thread. You are going to learn nothing. The loser in any fight consols himself with a moral victory. Thus is the beginning of slave-morality. Your Homework
