A
history spanning over twenty years of writing.
A timeline reaching back to the beginnings of Pern fandom.
A focus on creative, strong writing, with room for writers of all skill
levels to learn.
A liberal group that embraces ideas and new concepts.
No gimmicks, no tricks. Just cool people, good writing, strong characters,
and solid plots of all kinds.
It's a place like no other, and there will never be another place like it.
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.
Fanzine Themes Each issue of Out of the Blue will have a central theme which members may use - or not - when writing their stories. Sorta like a Presidential election - it only impacts you as much as you want it to. But the theme will be posted here, and questions can be asked to clarify what you need to know to write your stories.
Calling All Artists! Requests for artists will be posted in this forum. Please post a response in the topic if you want to do the illo work on a story!
Out of the Blue Review: #26/1 Rave, review, critique and comment to your heart's content in this forum. Please keep all posts centered around issue 26/1, however, and all critiques constructive!
