So - this is self-indulgent, but bear with me - I was reading this Pern J2 AU last night, which was not too shabby, but everyone who's read Anne McCaffrey's books knows that the worst/best part is the (totally dub con and utterly questionable but secretly awesome) sex between riders while their dragons are mating. (If you've read the books, you ( Read more... )

so Jeff is totally the craggy Weyrleader who gives cryptic unhelpful advice and keeps pushing Jared to be nice to Jensen because boy green riders can be, you know, unstable and the Weyr must be run with optimal personnel THREAD FALLS CONSTANT VIGILANCE and Jared thinks he is hanging out with Jensen because Jeff hinted it would be a good idea and absolutely doesn't notice that he really wants to and then Jensen finds out that Jeff told Jared to spend time with him and he is deeply upset and all "you don't have to be with me if you don't want to, I know all the green riders want in your leather trousers, you could have a queen rider even if you wanted" and Jared is all "but I DON'T WANT a queen rider, I want YOU" but Jensen doesn't believe him so Jared has to have his dragon tell Jensen's and finally Jensen is all "but why do you want me, I'm just a green rider, you could have anyone" and Jared is all, "don't talk about yourself like that, you are seriously the most awesome thing that ever awesomed and also better at sex than anyone in ( ... )

I would totally refuse to use the dumbass hyphenated names. If I were writing some of this. Which I might be. Damn it.

The justification for all the cracked out names is that they shout them over the wind. So it's the soft ones they drop.

So *IF* one was writing it and needed to - it could also be Jar'd, J'sen or Jens'n and Jef'ry. I'm not sure Jared would one at all. In the earlier books she's only shortening the longer syllable names like Michael. ('cause yelling that over wind becomes M'hall) It becomes an honorific and the Pern folks get into the habit of giving their kids portmanteau names with lots of syllables that can be dropped. So Lord Holders get short names and dragonriders get long names.

Lessa has a mental bitchfit when Jaxxom Impresses Ruth because there's no way to give it the honorific.

Oh god. Can you imagine Jared's Impression? 'cause he was totally a miner that wasn't supposed to be there at all but got a seat. His dragon was all "You love food? Do I love food? I DO! I LOVE FOOD! OMG YAY!"

And the Weyrling Master kept having to tell him - "No, YOU aren't hungry. Your dragon is hungry. You cannot possibly eat ( ... )
