Time Out of Mind - Episode 4: Anne McCaffrey

[@GrayNeko]

RIP, Anne McCaffery! You are inspiration to us all! And thank you, Cheryl Morgan, for sharing this with us!

[@fourharefelting]

One of my many spiritual mothers. Thank you for sharing this 💜

She cries when her heroes die. I read Master Harper twice...back to back. And I cried when Master Harper Robinton died. Then I found the audio book read by Anne McCaffrey. I stopped my housecleaning and sat down to weep with Anne as she read of the death of Robinton. THAT is how well she wrote. Her characters come to life for the reader. I miss looking forward to new books from Anne McCaffrey.

+Nidra Blades Dottir I know I listen to it in audio, and its good also

[@sharolynwells]

Me too, Nidra.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

I had the opportunity to read her short story Beyond Between to a group of her fans. Without spoilers, I could not stop myself from crying as I read certain parts. Anne said it here, she infused her books with emotion. And I think she included and expressed it very well.

[@gullwingstorm857]

When Master Robinton died I had to take two days off work.

[@davidlane256]

Mamma Kaye Lee I can’t even THINK about Robinton dying, without tearing up.

Thank you for posting this. I'm a huge fan of Anne McCaffrey and I've never had the chance to see her or hear her voice. This has been a real treat. I'm going to pull Crystal Singer from the shelf and re-read it. (My Favorite!) Have yourself a wonderful day! You've made mine!

Anne is a great writer. Pern is still first class fantasy and science fiction. It's absurd how many stupid stories and bad writing gets adapted to modern film and video games when there's such an abundance of great writing out there. McCaffrey is just one of thousands.

[@sailorbychoice1]

This was when Anne McCaffrey was just really hitting her stride; coming into her power as a writer. Awesome. TYVM.

[@bevviljoen3775]

An interesting interview. I have read a romance story she once wrote, as well as a children book about horses and King Arthur. I read 'The Ship Wgo Sang' yesterday for like the 10th time, and also cried.

[@lifelieswaiting]

I never got to meet Anne, so I really appreciate this upload.

[@GinnyStar2]

+lifelieswaiting same thing here.

[@themasterjinn]

She was a lovely lady, I had tea with her, we talked for two hours. (I just knew her as Anne) I later went to a book signing where she was. When I got up to the table I was like "Annie?" All she said was Hi ray, how have you been?

[@bridgetroberts6421]

I just cant get enough of the Pern world and dragons make iit perfect reading in fact i have missed buses and trains while in the world of Pern and even have a chain around my neck with a dragon instead of the usual things my friend also has a matching 1 thanks for giving me such great books to read

[@lauracooks4926]

RIP one of the greats, I still revisit my favorites and enjoy. A true gift.

[@Lurker1979]

Nice interview. Hard to tell her personality by the photo on her novels. This you sure can see her charming personality.

[@halelokalie2967]

Great interview thank you for the post!

[@wendysparkman1580]

I was one of those who bought The White Dragon in hardback because I was unwilling to wait - in fact I preordered it!

[@techforthedisabled9514]

Love it thank you. I read all her books and loved them

[@SliceOfScott]

Just read Dragonsong, thanks for sharing this!

[@candyrosedmunoz4946]

Been enjoying all of her writings so Thankful for her⭐🌻⭐ !!! A Greater Writer for sure🌟💟🌟Also enjoy her children as writers. Keep up GOOD Works 💞🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟💞

[@wackyruss]

Wow. The intro sequence is pretty trippy!

[@postmitotic2164]

J'ai lu Anne McCaffrey dans les années 90s mais je n'avais jamais entendu sa voix... Ca donne envie de relire les dragons, les doués ou la chanteuse crystal !

[@ellenweiner9557]

I really enjoyed this, thank you!

[@jameshead9119]

I started reading from the start when perm was just a short story that then grew into a full novel called dragon flight a few years later

[@JewelRiders]

04:27 - "FEED THE BEAST! no. no. i dont want to feed the beast..." haha (referencing The Toys That Made Us eps)

[@skawashers]

the announcer says this is the 4th out of 5, what was the 5th Episode ?

[@chrisgale5634]

Interesting. I would describe her works as fantasy, rather than science fiction.

[@justinmorgan2126]

Pern is a tiny part of her output, she is far more of a Sci Fi writer than a Fantasy writer, see The Rowan series, The Ship Who series, etc...

[@texasbeast239]

She considered herself a Sci Fi writer. I think she perceived a stigma with fantasy. Perhaps she had found Sci Fi so much a challenge for a woman to break into that she never wanted to relinquish the title once she had earned it.

[@moodydude6790]

I think this author may have been a feminist.

[@DaveGilmour]

MoodyOldDude yes but far far apart from the current mold thankfully

[@moodydude6790]

Though I've never read a single book of hers, at least no yet anyways. I'm very sure she was nothing like what we unfortunatly have today

[@cynhanrahan4012]

She was, but the real kind, not the caricature promoted by the patriarchy.

[@LandersWorkshop]

Ya think?
