Sometimes little bits of fandom history get lost, and sometimes lovely people digitise them for us!

This is a short, 35 minute long cassette with an "abridged" reading of Dragonsong and Dragonsinger from Anne McCaffrey (a summary more than anything) featuring both Anne's songs, and songs written by Joanne Forman. Performed by Kathleen Kingslight, (soprano and alto flute), John Kingslight (guitar, guitar arrangements and special vocal arrangements) and Anne Eisfeller (harp).

Lorna always had some kind of plan — so it was strange for her to even have to consider a last resort scenario. Alas, here she was: hunched over on the stoop of the imposing castle-turned-lair, bundled up in a baggy cloak out of equal parts self-preservation and shame. Her ailment was caused by some TWISTED brand of magic, after all, turning to its most infamous wielder for assistance seemed counterintuitive — but she truly had nowhere else to go.

   honey was what some would call the mystic of her tribe --- she saw that as nonsense. there was nothing magic in the cures she offered her people, nor in the strange smoke that flooded from her hut almost every she was a woman of discovery, of studying and curiosity, not of magic. still, her work had earned her many friends in the village, so she was content to let them believe what they will. 

    she had needed some more herbs for her experiments --- constant usage had left her running low in supplies, so she’d made her trek out to the woods, humming to herself as she followed her typical trail to the open cove where she found many of her ingredients, only to fall still at the sight of not just a dragon, but another human, in the cove. her eyes widened, and she pushed herself into the rocks to not be seen, peering over curiously. 

Lily had been in Riverdale for two months by the time she felt too marginalized to keep her secret anymore. Two months of scrutiny by the local Weird Mysteries boy before she cracked under the pressure. Archie knew what she was now, which meant it was only a matter of time before Reggie found out, too. She wanted him to hear it from her first, not see the evidence from Archie.

She arrived at Pops before he did that afternoon, waiting for him to get out of football practice. They had a big game on Friday, so she was hoping he was in a decent mood.

The red scaled dragon let out a small yawn as he glanced over to where the Viking was currently sitting. Who was, for once, not asking any questions but simply glancing down at his notebook and sketching away. Not to say Izayah didn't mind answering such questions but...it was still a nice break.

Anton was not one to speak to strangers at random. Especially with a warning. But the human was about to walk into something he was sure, he didn’t want to be involved with. He had seen some Bolsheviks head in the direction the human was going. And to be safe, he felt the need to warn him. He walked towards the man. “I’m worried about the potential trouble you could get in should you meet with the men in that direction.”
