Dahlia would like the 1st edition hardbound Dragonlover's Guide to Pern, while Kestral has selected the People of Pern. We have a tie for 4th Runner-Up as well between MoM members Spaceman Spiff and Jax, with scores of 142/146. Spiff has selected the Dragonriders of Pern boardgame, while Jax wants the Dragonflight Poster #1. Please join me in congratulating this year's winners!

![]() No e-books, but I did have one secret weapon up my sleeve: googling like this -> site:www.pern.nl #whatever I need to find# Thanks for the virtual eye-drops - I really did need them by the end of it. I can't remember if I was one of the people who voted that my brain was oozing out of my skull, but if I didn't I should have done! |

In case it's of interest more generally, the inscription on the Dragonsdawn (FE US Edition) that Kath has chosen for her prize reads:
"Congratulations, nice to win something - Anne McCaffrey" |

So, when will Kath receive her trivia winner badge?
Congrats to all winners! I did take a look, but chickened out at the end, look forward to seeing the correct answers to all questions. Maybe next year...

I made a lovely new badge up for Kath and one for the runners up. Unfortunately I can't upload it as our VPN to our web server isn't up. *sigh*

I got my four prizes to be distributed in the mail yesterday. Delivery estimates vary depending on where the package is going, but most should be just a week. Emails were sent to individually confirm expecting shipping times.
We'll appreciate hearing when prizes arrive safe and sound! ![]()

It rained cats and dogs here most of the day. Cats and dogs cleverly disguised as water droplets, but nevertheless, definitely cats and dogs
