Oh man, I want this so much now O:
Preferably Dragonflight (though I would wholly approve of some updating and a bit of tweaking to some of the rapey bits), or the Dragonsong/Dragonsinger books.

And hey, everybody's always on about how they want more women, right? I mean Lessa went and saved the freaking planet by figuring out something nobody else did, and by sheer nerve and daring. Lessa was fierce.

please no movie with lessa as the main character... she's so horrible.

[(Anonymous)]

IA, it was good for a short story, but wore WAY too thin once it got stretched out to several books.

[ketita]

idk, like I said in the comment I think that the plot of Dragonflight could fill up a movie pretty decently. And I think that with some tweaking Lessa's character could end up pretty darn awesome.
And if you get rid of the rapey aspects (which is how I think McCaffrey saw it in her mind), Lessa and F'lar are one hell of a power couple. You have romance, drama, and a woman who fights her way to the top. It's got potential, imo.

[(Anonymous)]

i think lessa is just marginally a less horrible person than f'lar even without the rape. :/ i just couldn't stand those two.

[(Anonymous)]

DA. I admit I didn't really care for Lessa's character, but on the other hand, I did actually like that she was really hard and difficult to like. It made sense with her background. And, fortunately, she seemed to moderate a bit in later books (I've only read the first three, so I'm probably missing stuff). But those hard-edged unreasonable parts of her seemed to be a deliberate choice on the part of the writer, and they made sense to me.

[(Anonymous)]

i'm not sure about that, though. i absolutely agree that her character made sense within her story, but i never got the feeling that we were supposed to disapprove of her actions or character.

[cassandraoftroy]

Yes. This. With some gentle modifications, Dragonflight would be an awesome movie.

Apologies, as this is totally off-topic. Your icon is... a lemon-mobile? Some kind of wheely lemon? What do the words say?

[ketita]

Haha, no problem. The lemon is masquerading as an etrog, a different citrus from the same family that's used by Jews on the holiday of Tabernacles, and the text says "Trojan Etrog".
It's, er, a complicated in-joke XD
