Great story so far. Reading this brings backs memories of high school. The whole series was in my high school library and I used to be in the library devouring them every break i get. I think I'm gonna love your spin on the series. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter and I hope the wait won't be too long.

Btw, I wonder how Joshans' father will react if he get a green dragon.

Pern has been an escape for so many of us - and writing in Pern has been an escape all of its own.

I am so glad that I decided to read this story. Usually I don't read fan fictions but I read the original trilogy about 15 years ago or so, I think I was about 15 maybe younger anyways I remember really liking them even though I don't really remember them. After reading this I remember why I liked them and have since decided that I will buy and read them all :D When it came time for the dragon to choose Jashon I was secretly hoping that maybe he would get a white or maybe some other unusual never before seen color. I am happy though that he was picked by a green and he was able to deal with his internal struggles and what he thought were the expectations of his father. I am a bit sad that we didn't get to see how there relationship developed and all that fun stuff but it was a wonderful story and I am sad to see it go.

Just finished reading this wonderful, well-written story for the second time. It shows the need to live life in very moment. The joys of life mixed with the sorrow of death, as life moves on. Both times, I had tears when reading it and left wishing for more. My love affair with Pern begin with reading the White Dragon in grade school, I've been hooked since. As a gay man I was just floored that I never connected the green dragons with a gay theme. I will forever be great full for the tie-in that just brings the world of Pern that must closer to me. Dan, please revisit this world and let us have a bit more.
