- Personally, I feel that Pern is SF, but in a fantasy setting.
- After all, it's basically just about human beings, their long-
- lost science, and their interactions with alien beings (dragons,
- Thread). Remember, the dragons are extraterrestrial creatures,
- not fantasy creatures.
-
- You could make an equal case for Pern being a series of romance
- stories, btw. There is a lot of romance in there...
