Anne McCaffrey has died.

I don't care that there are books of hers I will never be able to read again: in ninth grade, I made a blue-eyed, satin-gold fire lizard named Sheyne Meydl from a pattern I got from carik and she sits on my chest of drawers to this day, on top of the box which contains the necklace "Remember What You Say in Dreams." I read everything of hers my parents owned and scoured used book stores for the ones they didn't. Gone away, I thought of titling this post. Gone ahead. Her dragons were a great part of my imagination for years.

Dragonflight was the first adult novel I read, after bouncing off Eddings within pages for being too boring for me. Turns out I needed tough female characters instead. I haven't re-read McCaffrey in years, but I'll never forget how much I enjoyed those books as a teen.
