Welcome to a world beyond your wildest imagination!
Dragon Canyon Weyr was previously a site that ran 10 years on msn groups. We had members of all walks of life, with one thing in common: we all loved Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern, and we all had a love of written role play. What we didn't like was close mindedness, judgmental behaviors, and the inability to let the imagination go free and create a world where everyone could feel immersed in it, and like they belong. Fairness and equality to all our members is something we strive for, and if you're not having fun, nor are we!
Plots are the key to any good site, and we already have a million set up that will last us ages to come! New creatures, dragon colors, the ability to have half-animal characters! Genetic testing and a plague that wiped out everyone over the age of nineteen, leaving the Pern world in shambles which will slowly but surely be rebuilt. The return of thread, the chaos of battles! The option to be anything you want or desire in the Pern world is yours: a crafter, a dragonrider, a holder--you can let yourself become whatever your heart desires.
Here, we don't give your clutches out--YOU do! So long as you keep to the few rules we have, we let you decide the future and fate of your own dragon and your dragon's clutches. Here, no one will judge you based on your writing skills so long as you are trying, try for 2-3 paragraphs, and are decently literate. Here, we believe in the 'getting what you earn' system. No playing favorites, and things are often decided by the roll of a dice! We do different types of hatchings, from colorless to pm'ing you and you alone to let you know you impressed, to outright impression. We like to keep things interesting! Plus, there's the option to be a wherhandler here! We have wherling lessons and wher impressions which are held on the same level of importance as dragon hatchings.
If you're a strict canon person, this is not the site for you unless you're willing to let your mind go free and accept that imagination is what this site is all about. We like to think of ourselves as a fantasy Pern site that sticks to the rules for the Pern section, but with alterations. However, we welcome one and all to the site, because here we have a friendly community where everyone is valued. If you think you're ready, why not come on in and take a look around? Welcome to Dragon Canyon Weyr!
