I've just had a rather interesting review for this drabble over on the Pit of Voles.

The review goes thusly:
Most of these stories are very believable. This one, chap 79, is not. Hatchlings don't attack those they don't choose unless that person stands in their way while searching for or making their way to their rider. The little queen would lock eyes with the candidate and then, upon not finding what she was looking for, ignore the girl and continue to search for her lifemate. She wouldn't take time to attack the girl. These babies hatch *hungry* and want to find their food provider as quick as possible.

Oh. Dear.

That particular drabble?  Describes the hatching of probably the most famous queen dragon on Pern.

*attempts to smother giggles*

*fails*

Tell it to Anne, dearie.  But you'd better hurry, because the failboat leaves in the next five minutes....

It's been a long time since I read any Pern... did your drabble describe a canonical event, and the reviewer was complaining that it was inaccurate (based on fanon, perhaps)?

Yeah, a canonical event from the very first book. Anne did make a lot of changes over the years, and Dragonflight does stand out in many ways because of it... but the scene that the drabble describes should be instantly recognisable for the same reasons.

Oh well. I do like getting reviews like this, just for the LOLs.
