Hello, and welcome to our home page.  We are one of the many groups of people who love Anne McCaffrey's Pern series.  They call us Pern Fandom, and with Ms. McCaffrey's permission, we play on Pern!  As long as we follow the rules, that is!  What rules, you ask?

All right, these are Anne McCaffrey's; observe 'em because we'd like to stay legal...:

**As mentioned, only the five dragon colors (gold, green, bronze, brown, blue) are acceptable.

**You can't use any of McCaffrey's characters (includes names); it infringes on her copyright. That means no grandsons of Jaxom, or Lessa's descendants, or anything like that. Sure it'd be great to inherit some of their glory, but it's more fun to make your own, you know?

**While your persona can be from or have spent time in Benden Weyr, Ruatha Hold, or the HarperHall, you can't write stories taking place there or with their Leaders (The Master Harper of Pern, Benden Weyrleaders, Ruatha's Lord, etc.). That includes being related to any of them, too.

**No "external influences" may appear on Pern -- this includes everything from Talents and Brainships to Klingons and elves.

**Dragons cannot leave Pern's planetary system: "do not allow the dragons to leave the planetary system...they can't as I have specifically explained in ALL THE WEYRS OF PERN." <---So says the Dragonlady, and we obey.

And some of ours:

~Timing: Will be kept to a definite limit. In general, only queenriders and bronzeriders know of it, but if you can't have a good story without timing...e-mail the BOD and we'll discuss it. After all, Veridia supposed to not be hide-bound, but we *can't* have dragons timing it all over the place!

~Hearing All Dragons: Is very, very rare. We won't have too many in Veridia, but if you desperately want this talent, again, e-mail the Wlship and we'll talk. This will require at least two (2) stories a year in the zine


This probably sounds kind of stiff and formal, but you'll find that we're a very easygoing lot, and you could probably get away with everything we've told you -not- to do, if you asked us nice, and got down on your knees to beg... J/k! I hope you decide that Veridia Weyr is for you, and we'll be looking forward to seeing your persona! ;)

Clear skies and happy Gathers,

Weyrleader A'lan
Weyrwoman Ileia
Weyrleader's Second Z'lek
Weyrwoman Second Syrenia
Junior Weyrwoman Trina
