The best of Pern fanfiction!

[Leigh]

We know it's out there, so let's spread the word on the good stuff and share the love of our fandom.

http://www.dragonchoice.com/ by Faye Upton and various artists (one of whom I briefly knew). A Pern AU set on the Southern continent during an Interval. Politics, strong characters, and mysteries. The final installment isn't done yet, but it's passed the 200,000 word mark.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3953448/1/Weyrwoman_Blues by OnyxDrake. In Benden after Thread is gone forever, soon to be Weyrwoman Nolena struggles with growing into her position amidst a power-hungry brownrider's schemes and the strangeness of one of the senior queen's latest hatchlings. Related fic: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3660396/1/Evolution The senior queen's last gold daughter has asked herself "Why should I Impress?" while still in her egg. It gets interesting from there.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5003950/1/Dragonsue LaurieH shows us what it would really be like if we were transported to Pern through Kylie Sue Martin, a girl who slowly becomes a person worthy of Impression. And she's not the only one.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4836645/1/Who-Tries-Does Thistlerose gives us the story we all want, and she gives it to us magnificently: What would have happened if Wirenth's and Prideth's fight had been averted? Well, Brekke and F'nor would be happy, F'lar would not be entirely happy, and the Oldtimers would not be happy at all.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4836763/1/Who-Wills-Can While F'lar tries to run damage control despite not feeling well at all, Kylara breaks a dragonriders' law and deals with the consequences of her actions, eventually calling Thella for help.

And of course you'll want to read anything by Astrokath. I swear, it's like Mrs. McCaffrey was watching over Kath's shoulder while she was writing, and saying "Goodness, that does sound like me," in some cases, especially in "Dragon Days": http://www.fanfiction.net/u/987234/astrokath
