[edit] Introduction

This section needs more information.

[edit] The Author

Anne McCaffrey is a fantasy author responsible for the Dragonriders of Pern series of books, among other science fiction and fantasy novels.

Anne McCaffrey had been aware, based on interviews, of fan fiction since 1985. In an interview that year on Compuserve, Anne McCaffrey said she does not read fan fiction and is not sorrier for it. She also says she does not have the time to read it.

As fan fiction moved on-line, she, in consultation with lawyers, created a licensing policy for people who wished to write fan fiction in her universe. On her official site, this policy was explained as one required because of contracts related to Anne McCaffrey's books having been turned into video games. Given all this, it does not come as a surprise that in 1997, a Dragons of Pern fan fiction site recieved a cease and desist letter from McCaffrey's legal representatives.
