I was about to ask why you're linking a dead account but yikes, they are still active, their lair is just starving, probably as a (failed) deterrent to keep people from commenting on their awful dragon.
it’s probably a pern reference, since dragon names in pern always end with -th, but uh. “murdererth” sounds bad to the ears, even divorced from its horrific context.
I never read them but from pure internet osmosis I gathered that they were kinda so-so, but part of the distinction it had from other similar series was that it acknowledged gay sex as something that even existed (in a problematic way?).
I love them, and it was via a fandom writing group that I learned about FR in the first place, so mileage varies!
Yes - as anon above me noted, the author had some very problematic views, which are apparent both in interviews and some of the characterization/narratives in DRoP and her other series. But otherwise her worldbuilding has always appealed to me.
IMO, best reading order is: Dragonflight Dragonquest The White Dragon Dragonsdawn All the Weyrs of Pern
There are lots of other books that focus on different parts of the timeline or side characters, but you're not going to be lost in the story if you jump around a bit on those after reading the main ones.
they shared it multiple times in threads for trading likes, so i'm sure some are from people who didn't looking too closely, or didn't recognize the name.
I'm honestly shoskced she isn't locked yet, and meanwhile, just saw that someone commenting negatively on her page was locked: https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=view&id=480568&tab=userpage
What the fuck, staff? I mean, I'm assuming the other person got banned for "harassing" Deladria, unless they committed some other infraction in the past couple of days. But having a dragon devoted to racism and cop brutality is fine as long as she renames it?

No clue on why. This is nuts.
