                        3. Frequently Asked Questions

  From time to time, the same questions come up as new people discover
  this newsgroup and pose the questions that have cropped up during
  their reading of the series.

  [I expect this section to grow considerably as time passes.
  Suggestions -- and more importantly, documented answers -- are
  welcome. --Quirk]

3a. Pronunciation of various words/names.

  [ This pronunciation guide is based on the audiotape of Anne McCaffrey
  reading an abridged version of _All the Weyrs of Pern_ and the
  editor's hearing/pronunciation prejudices. ]

  First off, let's get the big one out of the way:
    weyr    -   WEER       [This is hinted at in_Dragonflight_where it
                            is implied that 'Weyr' rhymes with 'adhere'.]

  Others of mild interest

    wher    -   (Somewhere between 'where' and 'whir')
    Piemur  -   PIE-mur    [Rhymes with 'timer']
    Sebell  -   SEE-bell
    Groghe  -   GROW-gee   [hard (e.g. Golf) g's in both instances.]
    F'lar   -   FLAHR      [No glottal stop that I could detect.]
    Ruth    -   ROOTH      [As in the 20's baseball player.]
    Menolly -   MEN-oh-lee
    Brekke  -  [There is no authoritative pronunciation available; the name
                does not appear in McCaffrey's reading to my recollection,
                and the book-tapes I have (Brilliance Corp:_Dragonquest,_The
                White Dragon_and_The Renegades of Pern) that do mention her
                are inconsistent at best; alternating between 'BREK-ee'
                (rhymes with 'trekkie'), 'BREK-eh', and 'BREK-uh'.  That these
                tapes also tend to mispronounce other words does little to
                inspire any additional confidence in them as a source.
                --Quirk]
    Igen    -   IGG-en     [Rhymes with the bell in that big clock in London.]
    Ramoth  -   RAM-oth    [Rhymes with "Clam Broth"]
    AIVAS   -   AYE-vas    [Rhymes with "Fly Past"]

  [There are, of course, more names on McCaffrey's tape, I'll add more
  names on request.]

3b. Rider behavior during Mating Flights.

  The behavior of the riders of mating dragons (and to a lesser extent
  firelizard 'owners') has generated considerable controversy on this
  newsgroup in the past. During one particularly vehement flamewar
  sparked by the topic, someone queried the Dragonlady, Anne McCaffrey,
  herself:
---[begin included text]---
From: [email protected] (Sharon Fisher)
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 92 18:26:59 GMT

Presumably this will settle the issue?

---
Date:  23-Sep-92 02:07 PDT
From:  Anne McCaffrey
Subj:  Pern question

Well, now, it's like this...when the dragons mate, their riders are so
consumed with their dragons' passions, that there's really only one way to
vent it:  enjoying the sexual act themselves.  The double whammy is
something incredible.  Since most green riders are male, and most blue,
brown and bronze riders are also male, the obvious need not be stated.
However, it is permissible within the Weyrs for the less-enthusiastic
about this pairing having an alternate of the opposite sex available.  The
green rider will also have someone of his preference available so that the
double charge is not lost...if you don't mind me being a tad bawdy.
Actually, many of the Candidates are weyrbred and accustomed to such
demands and think little of it.  It's the main bone of contention between
the hidebound Halls and Holds and the the Weyrs for the Halls and HOlds
don't really `like' such innovations.  Still, the rider is always
compelled by concern for his dragon and THAT consideration makes the
difference in such a sexual situation.  And it is ALSO an incredible
experience, one to be treasured.
And yes, there could be more female riders of green dragons to relieve
that dilemma but after the early Plagues, women were needed more as
mothers to increase the population (something men still haven't been able
to do on their own ) and flying constantly between is how to abort on
Pern.  (Queen dragons are not always as horny as the greens and as they
are low-level Thread fighters, their pregnant riders could generally
manage without constantly going *between* in the performance of their
duties.)  Anyway, I thought homos deserved a place in the elite social
structure on Pern.
---
Does that answer the question completely?  Or do you need  diagrams?
---[end included text]---

  This policy has subsequently appeared in_Red Star Rising
  /Dragonseye.

3c. Firestone and Queen Dragons

  It is stated about 1/3rd through_Dragonflight_that Queen dragons do
  not chew firestone because it would render them sterile. (To support
  this contention, the example of the overly amorous green dragons and
  their lack of egg-laying activity was brought up.) This idea is
  reinforced throughout the later books - Except for_Dragonsdawn_where
  it is implied that queen dragons had been designed by Kitti Ping Yung
  to be incapable of chewing firestone. This and other text in this book
  could also lead one to conclude that green dragons had been engineered
  to be infertile.

  A popular theory (although certainly not the majority opinion) is that
  the 'firestone --> sterility' theory had formed over the turns to
  explain green infertility. Since no goldrider in her right mind would
  risk her queen to test this theory, it is self-consistent.

3d. Where do dragons/firelizards defecate?

  In a mostly joking response to this question at a convention in the
  distant past, Ms. McCaffrey stated that 'Dragons go between.' (i.e.
  take care of bodily functions while transiting between.) Although this
  has been perpetuated throughout fandom and has even found its way into
  the_Dragonlovers Guide to Pern
  , it is still regarded by many as just a joke, since it blatantly
  violates the laws of Conservation of Mass/Energy -- as does the
  practice of dragons suiciding between if taken at face value. (Of
  course, much in the Pern universe doesn't hold up to scientific
  scrutiny. ;-) )

3e. Who/What does Aramina 'hear' in_The Renegades of Pern?

  Toward the end of_Renegades_Aramina tells Lessa that asside from
  dragons and firelizards, she also hears something else; a 'sad'
  presence.

  This question is addressed in_The Dolphins of Pern
  .

3f. What's this I hear about a Pern Movie/TV Show?

  As some may have noticed, "Casting Pern" is a frequent discussion
  topic. While nearly all of the discussion is just wishful thinking
  (there's *no* way to get all the big name stars being bandied about
  together at the same time for some little-known Sci-Fi project), there
  are some vague noises about a Dragonriders of Pern movie.

  May '06 Update:
  In www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=36303>, it is
  reported that canadian production company Copperheart Entertainment
  has optioned the Dragonriders series (all 19 books) for a possible
  film. No additional details are available.

  There was also a project for an animated movie in the late 70s/early
  80s that fell through for various reasons. Apperantly one clip of
  trial footage was circulated at the time and has subsequently
  disappeared between...

3g. Is Rukbat (Pern's sun) a real star?

  In the introduction to the_Dragonriders of Pern_books, Pern's Sun is
  identified as 'Rukbat'; a star in the constellation Saggitarius.
  Therein, it is described as a G-type (i.e. similar to Sol) star. In a
  number of interviews, Ms. McCaffrey has explained that she saw the
  star name in a copy of_National Geographic_and decided to use it.

  Rick Hewett ([email protected]) did a little research and came
  up with the following:
---
>From Sky Catalogue 2000.0 Vol. 1 (ed: Alan Hirshfeld & Roger W. Sinnot
>Pub: Cambridge University Press $ Sky Publishing Corporation
>ISBN 0-521-28913-0 pbk, 0-521-24710-1 hbd)

  To which, Peter Stewart ([email protected]) adds the
  following commentary:
---
>And this, of course, is evidence of Yet Another McCaffrey Scientific
>Inaccuracy :)
>
>It is virtually impossible for a viable life-bearing world to evolve about
>a class B star. Such stars generally use up their supply of hydrogen very
>fast, usually within a billion years or so. If Earth could be used as a
>model of a typical world with carbon-based life, it would take far longer than
>that just to reach the point of single-celled organisms.
---

  Ted Ollier ([email protected]) added:
---
>Not to nit-pick, but B-types only last about 300 million years. :)
>And they also put out a hellacious amount of UV radiation, so any
>single-celled organisms that manage to last that long probably live
>underground. *Far* underground. :)
---

  Sometimes, it just doesn't pay to dig too deeply into such
  things...;-)

3h. Robinton, Silvina, and Camo

  In _The People of Pern_, Ms. McCaffrey states that Camo is the result
  of a liason between Robinton and Silvina. Any question as to the Canon
  status of this claim is set to rest as it was also stated in _The
  Masterharper of Pern_.

3i. Where did Menolly's 10th firelizard come from?

  In chapter 11 of _The White Dragon_, Menolly mentions in passing the
  circumstances where she inadvertantly impressed her 10th firelizard
  (bronze Poll). This is the only instance where this event is
  discussed.

3j. Will the real Moreta please stand up?

  In _Dragonflight_, it is mentioned in passing that there was once a
  Benden Weyrwoman of Ruathan ancestry who had the ability to "hear all
  dragons." There is also a teaching song about her.

  In _Dragonsinger_, the narrative of said teaching song is revealed,
  but she is mysteriously transplanted to Fort Weyrwoman.

  Finally, in _Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern_, it is revealed that Moreta
  was actually born in a small hold in Keroon, Impressed at Ista,
  eventually became Fort Weyrwoman, and couldn't hear more dragons than
  the typical rider.

  So how did the notion that she was a Ruathan-born Benden Weyrwoman
  able to "hear all dragons" come about? Was it just an oversight on
  McCaffrey's part?

  Not necessarily.

  In _Nerilka's Story_, it is revealed that Lord Alessan of Ruatha and
  Nerilka had a daughter named after the famed Fort Weyrwoman. It isn't
  beyond the realm of possibilty that this Ruathan-born female was able
  to "hear all dragons", eventualy impressed a queen, and eventually
  rose to the position of Benden Weyrwoman. Throw in several hundred
  years of intervening time and the two Moretas (Moretae?) may very well
  have become the single mythical figure Lessa learned about from R'gul
  and S'lel in _Dragonflight_.

3l. Lyrics to _The Ballad of Moreta's Ride_

  Speaking of Moreta, it probably deserves mentioning that in no place
  are the actual lyrics to the oft-mentioned _Ballad of Moreta's Ride_
  given. The overall narrative of the piece is described in Chapter 6 of
  _Dragonsinger_, and in _Dragonflight_ Lessa suggests that the verse
  fragment

    Crack dust, blackdust
    Turn in freezing air
    Waste dust, spacedust
    From Red Star bare

  appears in it at some point.

  Beyond these vague hints, there are no further details in any of the
  books.
    _________________________________________________________________

                       4. On-line Simulations of Pern

  Some people have gone to the extent of attempting to duplicate Pern
  with a multi-user program designed to allow people to assume the roles
  of dragonriders, harpers, holders, etc. While one of the most
  frequently discussed is PernMUSH, it is by no means the only one.

  Just about all of the on-line Pern simulations are based on
  derivatives of a program called 'TinyMUD'. These programs (TinyMUSH,
  TinyMUSE, etc.) are collectively referred to as MU*s.

  Note: Now that Grolier Interactive has the rights to Pern Computer
  games, there is a moritorium on any additional online games obtaining
  permission from Ms. McCaffrey to operate.

  There are also a small handfull of MU*s based on the _Crystal Singer_
  books: They are listed at the end of section 4c.

4a. Accessing Pern-type MU*s

  The quick way of doing it is to use the 'telnet' program to connect to
  the appropriate machine specifying the port listed -- e.g. 'telnet '
  for most Unix systems. (And I have provided links to the telnet URLs
  in the list in section 4c. below.) If the name doesn't work, try the
  numeric (IP) address. However, most addicts tend to make use of client
  programs such as tinyfugue. As I am primarily a Unix shell junkie,
  those looking for clients for other platforms would be better advised
  to look in the rec.games.mud.* FAQs than bugging me.

  For more info, look at the rec.games.mud.* newsgroups.
  (rec.games.mud.tiny, rec.games.mud.misc and rec.games.mud.annoucne
  primarily.)

  Note: MU*s require direct access to the Internet. BBS systems with
  only email/Usenet cannot take part; at the very minimum, you must be
  able to use 'telnet'. I have no information (nor do I especially wish
  to receive any) about the availability of telnet connections from any
  given online service. Readers who are curious about such things would
  be best served asking their specific tech-support people.

4b. (Insert your favorite MU* here) is down!!!

  Due to various factors (Murphy's Law, preventative maintanance, etc.),
  either some network links or the MU*'s host machine may be
  non-functional from time to time.

  Because of propagation delays involved in Usenet posts, the odds are
  that any network/machine difficulty you encounter will probably be
  corrected by the time most people read your message. Unless the MU* in
  question has been unreachable for at least 48 hours, don't bother
  asking about it either here, or anywhere else on Usenet.

4c. List of Pern-type MU*s

  NOTE: This information is accurate so far as the author is aware. If
  there is a change, it won't be reflected here unless I'm informed of
  it; messages to alt.fan.pern or rec.games.mud.announce should be
  sufficient for notification purposes.

  Also, indications of permission to exist on the part of Ms. McCaffrey
  (the [AOK] marks) are based on either personal insepction of the MU*
  for such proof, or a wizard-type contacting me personally with a copy
  of the approval letter with indication that it would be included in
  the on-line doccumentation in the near future. In one or two cases, I
  have been unable to confirm the status of a particular MU* in my
  latest (29 Sep 96) on-line inspection and am indicating provisional
  permission, based on past inclusion in the 'permission list'.

  [If the administration staff of a given MU* obtains AOK status, all
  that is required is that a copy of the approval note be made available
  on the MU* itself and that I be informed of where to find it; sending
  me copies of the approval notice is not necessary. -Quirk]

  Addresses are now listed in standard "telnet://address:port" URL
  format; note that port number (required for acccess) appears after the
  colon following the host machine name.
