This is the virtual component to StarRise Weyr, a fan club based on Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. StarRise Weyr is primarily an amateur writer's club.
Members create Pernese "personas" and write stories based on them for our quarterly fanzine, Out Of The Blue. Writing stories is not mandatory, however.
Many StarRise members enjoy simply reading the fanzine or participating on our bulletin board.

Named by the original colonists for their similarity in appearance to Earth gars (particularly the long, tooth-filled jaws), their ecological niche on Pern is more akin to that of sharks. Gar fish are not only edible but quite tasty. There are three main species in the Eastern Ring Islands: Sand Gar - solitary hunters that prowl the bottom of tropical shallows (7-10 feet) Rocky Gar - found close to the coast in temperate waters, hunting among rocky shoals (15-20 feet) Eastern Ring Gar - the largest of the regional species, they are more common in the deeper waters between or along either side of the chain, and prey mainly on migrating schools of fish. (35-40 feet) (I devised the basics of the gar fish shortly after I took on Hold Gar for ForTen, mainly to create a reason in my mind for why there are two seaholds on Pern named Gar - that is, Hold Gar near Southern Boll and Gar Sea Hold on Ista Island. Why? Both holds are near large concentrations of gar fish, and were named for the common catch... however, apart from the name and basic appearance, I'd never expanded upon it. The above bestiary entry sprang fully-grown from my head just tonight. ) Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged « Page 2 of 2 Jump to page   Go     Forum Jump--------------------» Home--------------------» General Group Information--------------------- ANNOUNCEMENTS- Welcome and FAQ- New Member Information- General Discussion- Out of the Blue --- Fanzine Themes --- Calling All Artists! --- Out of the Blue Review: #26/1 --- Out of the Blue Review: #27/2- Gatherings--------------------» Mundania Alley--------------------- Here a Chat, There a Chat, Everywhere a Chat-Chat- EMERGENCY CHECK-IN- Spoilers and Other Hobbies- Memoriam--------------------» The Writing Life--------------------- Writing Pern- Artisans Hall- Healer Hall- Pernese Flora and Fauna- Writing Originally- Writer Resources- NaNoWriMo --- Anna's NaNo Novel --- Chantal's NaNo Novel --- Geo's NaNo Novel --- Hope's NaNo Novel --- Kitty's NaNo Novel --- Kris's NaNo Novel --- Susan's NaNo-Novel --- Kate's NaNo-Novel--------------------» Shared Tenth Pass--------------------- Records Room --- Horizon Hold --- Split Rock Hold --- StarRise Hold --- Three Rapids Hold- NPC Weyrs --- Fort Weyr --- Igen Weyr --- High Reaches Weyr --- Telgar Weyr --- Ista Weyr --- Benden Weyr --- Crescent Weyr --- Sable Weyr --- Theran Weyr --- Haven Weyr --- Southern Weyr --- Far Western Weyr --- Weyr Representative Council- Characters --- Approved Characters --- Approved NPCs --- NPCs- Plots in Pondering- Character Personals- Backstories- Craft Halls of Pern --- Baker Craft --- Dolphin Hall --- Dragonhealer Hall --- Harper Hall --- Healer Hall --- Miner Hall --- Smith Hall --- Personal Combat Hall--------------------» Group Plotting Discussion--------------------- Goldrider Social --- Goldrider Social: 34.02.14 --- Goldrider Social: 34.05.14 --- Goldrider Social: 34.08.14 --- Goldrider Social: 34.11.14
