Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

In that case, I'm most definitely a blue.  I think.  What's distinctive about the blue ones?

(in reality, my nick is utterly unimaginative: first initial 'c', last name 'yan')

Ahh well um well i'm guessing you never read the books right?

Blues are fast and feisty and breathe fire!!!! They are agile and nimble and lots of other stuff that i cant say here as its not for delicate young ears!

I've read the Pern books.  And I'm much more like a blue, especially the 'inappropriate for delicate young ears.

Blue dragons are the smallest males (25-30 feet long) and make up about a third (30%) of all dragons on Pern. They are nearly as agile as greens, but unlike the greens, they often have enough stamina to last for an entire Threadfall. They mate only with greens, as they are simply too small to keep up with a massive queen over a long mating flight. There are few prominent blue dragons or blueriders in the books. Some assume the position of teaching the new riders after their Impression. Canon blueriders are typically homosexual or bisexual, though some are heterosexual. In interviews, Anne has stated that homosexual women may be able to Impress a Blue dragon, however it has not yet happened in the books.


Someday will find you.

No worries, Ramoths Rider!  I was being serious.  You missed the conversations about putting magic underwear on beavers.
