totchipandaI decided to do Script Frenzy this year, and just about last minute decided to adapt Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey into a movie. It was semi-brought on by a comment my dad made after we saw Avatar, something about the animation and I said I wanted a Dragonriders movie NOW.
I'm woefully behind (page 24/42 as of today...) but in reading the text very closely, I came to realize that I am madly in love with F'lar. He is by far my favourite character, and Mnementh my favourite dragon. By FAR. It was somewhat disconcerting. As much as I love the series and huge chunks of the cast (especially Robinton), looking back on my 17-year-history with this series, he has always been my favourite. It's a little weird to think of even now.
I promptly texted my dad and blamed him for it since he's the one who handed me the books and told me to read them. He seems to think I started with the Harper Hall trilogy, but I KNOW I started with Dragonflight, as it took me 4-6 months to start reading it, and I found it dry as hell until after the duel with Fax. (And then it was awesomesauce and I couldn't put it down.)
I think that could have been the reason why I did not enjoy The Skies of Pern when it came out. My beloved characters from Flight were pushing 70. I didn't (and still don't) want to think of them in... that state. Aging and reaching the end of their "usefulness".
I still want a movie. NOW.
