The Fandom

[Lark]

The fandom surrounding Pern takes many different paths depending on how close to the original canon it stays. Fan-fiction and fan-made roleplay sites that are strictly canon stick with everything the original books state as being true. They have no more than the five colors, occasionally adding in White Ruth as a six color that is seen more than the one time. They do not make any other animals that are not mentioned in the books, and they follow other such ideas.

Semi-canon and non-canon refers to fandom which has taken the books' ideas and forming something new. More colors are added, different societies are made, other genres are merged with it. Various elements come together in order to form a site that is more than just the average canon, and for this reason much of Pern's fandom differs more than it is similar. It is also what attracts many people though.

Here at Trelis we stick to the canon for some part, but make our own semi-canon as well. New colors and mutations have been added. A new bondable species has been found. The way the society of pern works is being changed slightly through roleplay and events as well.
