    Chapter 1

    Mawgrim posted new chapter in The Return to Benden

    Rioth folded her wings close in to her body and dived into the sea. The wave she created washed over H’rek’s head, forcing him to swim underwater for a fair way before he finally surfaced to see his dragon floating serenely on the surface, sparkling droplets of water tumbling from her outstretched wings. Thanks, Rioth. Nearly drowned me that time. Sorry H’rek. But you wouldn’t have drowned. I would save you. He swam over to her and scrambled aboard, sitting in his usual p

    The Southern Weyr project is coming to an end. H'rek and Rioth prepare for the return to Benden Weyr to fight Thread.

    Chapter 1

    Mawgrim commented on Mawgrim's story chapter in Chapter 1

    There's another story in this trilogy which I will post soon. I am also in the process of writing a longer story set at the beginning of the Ninth Pass on Pern, which involves some of the same characters (and a few new ones as well), which I will also be posting on this site. The Pernese word for year is indeed a Turn. It's capitalised in the books, I think to differentiate it's usage as a period of time from other uses of the same word. According to 'The Dragonlovers Guide to Pern', a Turn is 366 days, plus two days left over for the Turn's End celebrations.

    Stay still while I oil that patch, H’rek chided his dragon. Sorry, she sighed. It tickles under there. You are one twitchy dragon. He slathered some more oil on the underside of Rioth’s neck and began rubbing it in. Just try to stay still, otherwise we’ll get told off. You know the saying, “Patchy hide cracks between”. If you’re patchy we won’t be allowed to carry on with our training. I know. But it is hard to keep still. The day’s heat was fading now as the sun

    H'rek's Rioth is mature enough for her first mating flight, but he's not at all certain how he feels about that.

    The Story

    Mawgrim commented on Thorn Wilde's story chapter in The Story

    Very atmospheric. I really cared about what happened to the main character and Isaac's death was sad and shocking. There was plenty of foreshadowing as to what might happen, which always works well in the horror genre.

    The queen dragon eggs are always gold, but the other colour dragons eggs aren’t distinctive. Generally, bronze dragons hatch from larger eggs as they are the next largest after the queens and people often speculate as to whether you can tell the colour of the hatchling from the size of the egg and patterns on the shell, but it’s a bit of a guessing game.

    Glad you enjoyed the story. I first read the Pern books as a teenager, then recently re-read them all over again and felt inspired to fill in some of the gaps. I have a few more Pern stories I’ll be adding.

    The sea sighed against the rocks at the far end of the sandy beach, as if even it was too exhausted to make any more fuss than that. Hinarrek sat on one of the smoother rocks drying out from his swim and trying to clean the sand from between his toes before putting his socks and boots back on. Although the sun was sinking now, the heat was as oppressive as ever. It wasn’t so bad for him; he’d grown up in a farmhold in Southern Boll and the summers there were almost as scorching, although the hum

    It's the first Hatching at the newly formed Southern Weyr. A group of candidates ponder over whether they will be lucky enough to Impress.

    Jevikel's Dilemma

    Mawgrim posted new chapter in To the Weyr

    A few days had passed since the visit to the eggs. Most of the Holdbred candidates were settling down to Weyr life, with the exception of Hortaimin and a couple of others from northern Holds. Maybe people from the south were inherently more tolerant? Jevikel tried not to let it get to him, but he was getting mightily fed up with the snide comments. Kadin had a fall in the bathing chamber, which he told Jevikel was due to someone - he wasn’t sure who - tripping him. Fortunately he suffered nothin
