How do you feel about dragons? They're some of my favorites! I also love to feature all different kinds of stories for the CSR. Established authors, promoted, new authors, brand new stories or stories that are the latest in a long list of author's backlist. Dark said that was the first specific MM fanfic of Anne McCaffrey's Pern stories written and shared on GA, and I thought it'd be good to return to the series roots. What did you think of it?! 

The Seventh Wing

by @Dark

Length: 75,572

Description: This is a fan-fiction based on Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. This is kind of an Alternate Universe, because this takes place shortly before the 4th Pass and there is no canon to base this on -- which is precisely why I chose it!

Author Note: You may think this story is trash (and you may be right) but I will always love it because this was the first story I wrote explicitly for M/M. I had done some small fan-fics to try it, but this is the one that convinced me. This is the story that led me towards rediscovering my own gender/sexuality and falling in love with the gay stories genre. This story is the beginning.

A Reader Said: So in the end, so to speak, patience and tenderness overcame a long history of abuse.  This story was well written, but I wish there had been a little more history built into it in some way.  The story flowed well, for the most part, and moved the characters forward in a way that felt natural and right.  A little more character development might have been nice, or instead of the authors notes, maybe a more detailed information on who was in the book.   ~centexhairysub
