Ann McCaffery 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 two 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 McCaffery together with MZB, K. Kurtz, Diane Paxton, and Jaqueline Lichtenburg at the same con (but I'm probably not going....). Charley Wingate
