Since the fandom rules were relaxed, more and more fanclubs have been experimenting with expanding Pern canon. Now, one of the biggest Pern clubs online gets onto the bandwagon as well: Arolos Weyr is incorporating several of Anne McCaffrey's universes (To Ride Pegasus, Acorna, and Crystalsinger) into their roleplay. Effective immediately, all dragons are being replaced by flying Pegasus Unicorn Pony with a Crystal horn.
