Survivor Appendix E (5e) Authors- Ursula K. LeGWINS!

[Parmandur]

I remember reading Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series as a teen and loving it, but going back over it years later there was a lot of dodgy writing and extolling of 50 year old men banging teen girls, and some really strange ideas on sex in general. Just his writing or a sign of some serious strange stuff in his head. I know writing a book called the Magic Fart probably doesn't help his rep with me these days. Xanth was just weird.

Similar boat here: in all honesty, he comes across as a Grade-AAA pervert.

Technically Anne McCaffery should also probably be on this list, but I'm sure she would be voted down the soonest for her comments in the infamous tent peg interview.

Well that was an enlightening few minutes spent on google.

So... Thanks???

Sorry man. I owe you your beverage of choice. Some things people are better off not knowing.

Yeah you got me with the tent peg thing too. Honestly though I've been aware of Dragonriders of Pern forever I have never thought the idea behind it was very good and never bothers to read any of the books...I was spending my time with Piers Anthony for some reason. Not sure I chose wisely.

Yeah I was aware of it, but avoided it.

I learned from Dragonlance that a lot of dragons can easily become too may dragons.

So in my preferred flavor of fantasy fiction dragons are sprinkled lightly.

The original Back Company cycle is one of my favorites. I think it would be too easy now days to write a story like the Black Company and turn it into nothing but a bunch of medieval clad edgelords. But, Glen Cook does a fantastic job at keeping the characters likable, interesting, and above all, human.
