From: David Arenson <arenson@louie.udel.EDU> >Ann McCaffrey has been accused by Henry Chai (and probably others) >of "[writing] Harlequin Romance[s] in an SF setting." I will not >argue this one way or the other (since I haven't read either of the >panned books), but I would like to point out that the people who >avidly read the Darkover books tend to be devotees of the Pern books >too. It would be interesting to see McCaffrey together with MZB, K. >Kurtz, Diane Paxton, and Jaqueline Lichtenburg at the same con (but >I'm probably not going....). I believe that next years DARKOVER convention at thanksgiving will have MZB, K. Kurtz , and Diane Paxton. I don't know about Jaqueline Lichtenburg. This is not at the upcoming convention ,but the following one. david (arenson@louie.udel.edu)
