Lessa

[ithildin]

When I posted my list a few days ago of fictional women that rock, Lessa of Pern was top of the list. I was pleasantly surprised to find so many fellow Lessa lovers on my f'list! All this talk about Pern makes me want to read the books again. Back when I was a teenager/twenties, I read them so often I wore out two sets of paperbacks.

Randomly related:

* The first SF book I ever read back when I was 14 was 'Restoree' by Anne McCaffrey, the second was "Two To Conquer" by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

* Other than Pern, her Crystal singer books are favourites of mine.

* I still have a major crush on Robinton and I sobbed when he died.

* Hoping that one of these days that one of the proposed movies or series will actually happen. Seems every time it gets close to reality, the project falls through.

* And last, but not least, who would you cast in a Pern movie?

I really wanted Menolly and Robinton together [sighs]

I think Micheal Beihn might make a good F'lar.

There you go, I always thought I was on my own for the M/R love :)

Love Michael Beihn. Are you casting using actors you who can do the character justice or trying to match book descriptions to people as well? Who would you have as his brother F'nor?

Doing the characters justice first, and if they sorta look like, or can dye their hair/wear coloured contacts, that's a bonus[g]
