PLEASE, please, write a follow up to Scout's Progress. We already know that Aelliana gets whacked by the Enemies of Korval [the Department of the Interior??], so it won't be such a shock to us. [although there WAS the time that a friend of mine read Moreta Dragonlady of Pern before reading the rest of the Pern series and therefore did not realize that Moreta is doomed...but don't let that stop you from writing SP sequel!!!]
