First, It Was Katniss Killashandra: Remembering Anne McCaffrey :
News from Anne McCaffrey died of a stroke exploded through my online communities last night. Twitter, Facebook and blogs filled with tributes and memories. The memories online seems very appropriate for a writer who inspired some of the subjects first fiction online - whose influence on the genre fandom (and literature) are incalculable.His books - especially the iconic Dragon Riders of Pernes-series, which began with the release of Dragon Flight 1968 - contained a number of extraordinary revelations. Although the books do not stand modern feminist control in their 60s, they were revolutionaries. Women can be the protagonists.
the real protagonists, who are actually doing things! Pregnant women can be considered as the right to work and activities! Fantasy and science fiction can operate in a book! Genre fiction written by a woman can win the Hugo and Nebula Award and is a New York Times bestseller! And what was the idea appealing, best of all, telepathic animal companion, who knows you better than any human could.
Picture books and escape were provided to key players McCaffrey. At night, they dream of having their own dragons. By day, they might annoy eg McCaffrey and examples of his heroines. Before there was a Everdeen Katniss - or even a Hermione Granger - who was Killashandra Ree and Menolly. Many fans have grown up to write fantasy and science fiction, paving the way for future generations of readers and women writers.
I've heard of Pern McCaffrey novels and Usenet, sometimes around 1994. Through a friend, I found the first chat room and newsgroup for fans of Spider Robinson's Callahan's Place books, this digital forum were havens for the role-players, who wanted to visit the Long Island Pub aliens, time travelers, psychics, and mixed with or simple 'people. Each of us has created an identity, or three, and interact with nature or not, because it suited.
I remember being surprised that some of the characters I met in alt.callahans fire lizards were riding on their shoulders. I wondered what a fire lizard was and why everyone was so excited about a new door and what was so important in the color scheme. It was only later that I took a book and learn the straps in. McCaffrey world of dragons were magical and interstellar exploration was so convincing that my friends online, everything was imported into fiction Spider Robinson bar. Apparently no fandom is better with fire lizards.
McCaffrey earned his own scope of newborn dragon, and a few years ago, his son Todd began working with her in-collar novels. Their latest collaboration is expected to be published next year by Random House. Maybe Todd will keep him at the Brian Herbert (Dune series has continued his father Frank Herbert), maybe it will let stand as a testament to the vision of his mother and his determination. Although the straps are heyday is over, McCaffrey lives on the estate.
