Anne McCaffrey Memorial Challenge.

Anne McCaffrey was, and still is, a huge influence on me and my writing. She was a pioneer in the SciFi field for women, and there aren’t many fans of the genre who don’t know “Anne’s dragons”.

She passed away 11/22/11, which broke my heart. I’m very glad that her son is writing and Pern continues to live, but the woman who helped open the door to so many others with writing that remains some of the most imagestic I have ever read, is gone.

So, for those of you who know Anne, write me a story set in one of her worlds. Be a Dragonrider, or a Crystal Singer. Maybe a brainship or one of the Dinosaur Planet Survivors. Have an encounter with the Coleura or span the distance between planets with psychic talent bolstered by massive generators.

New characters, established…it doesn’t matter. I just want to know that the worlds she spun for so many won’t be forgotten now that she’s passed on.

For those who don’t know Anne, information can be found here: http://pernhome.com/aim/
