Okay, yeah, another one. I hope this doesn't sound too stupid. I know this is kind of like another question I asked, but...it's...not....
Would there be some of the old stories on Pern? Like the fairy tales. Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, but maybe modified a bit. Like Lord Holders instead of Kings, Lord Heirs instead of Princes, gathers instead of balls.
What about the magic aspect? Now I know there is no magic on Pern, but there isn't magic on earth either. So could the stories contain magic kind of like they do here on earth?
Am I making sense?
You are making sense, but we try to keep stories on Earth completely seperate from stories on Pern, so its best to assume that all those old stories were lost and replaced with more "Pern relavant" stories over the last few thousand years.
As far as magic, no there wouldn't be anything like that. I personally think believing in something supernatural is just part of human nature, so I can understand where you're coming from, but it just leads too easily to some form of religion which is against the rules AM laid out for Pern clubs.
That's what I thought, but I thought I'd ask just in case. Thanks for the clarificiation!
And it took me three tries to write clarification. These meds really make me loopy.
