I don’t quite remember when I discovered Pern. I was young enough to think it was all very daring and edgy. I was reading books where the inside cover used the word "desire". I'm not kidding. Check it up yourself: old green cover of Dragonflight and the passage with Ramouth’s first flight with Mnementh. All of a sudden I had a book in my hands with Dragons and Sex... And then, wait a minute, those were all men with green dragons so that meant gay sex with dragons!
