The Candidates stand nervously in the cavernous Hatching Grounds watching the cluster of dappled Eggs rock and twitch as the small dragonets inside begin their struggle to break free. Their feet are scorching from the hot Sands they stand upon – the very Sands that has incubated the Eggs and hardened the Shells now preparing to Hatch.
They are all clothed in simple, loose white robes – showing them as equals before the dragons. Their friends and families sit in the stands, ready to cheer for their Candidate should they Impress a new-born dragon. Anticipation builds for the Candidates, each hoping to end up life-bonded to a mighty dragon of Pern.
The humming of all the Weyr's dragons perched on rock ledges spanning up the Hatching Ground's walls produces a deep thrumming that the Candidates can feel through their very feet. It is as though they themselves are part of the dragon's birthing song and this thought helps bolster their confidence.
A sudden cracking sound rings throughout the whole Cavern and the excited crowd grows silent, waiting as eagerly as the Candidates to see what color will Hatch first and who that little dragon will Impress.
This scene of breathless anticipation is know very well by any fan of Anne McCaffery's beloved series of books - The Dragonriders of Pern: this pivotal moment when a young person meets their destiny in the form of the swirling rainbow eyes of a baby dragon.
Anyone who has ever picked up one of these wonderful novels has wondered "when will I see a movie of this?" Well that wait will be over the summer of 2012 when the most long-await movie of the past forty years finally flies onto the silver screen with the stunning special effects, evocative music and incredible writing, acting and directing any fan the world over would expect of such an iconic and life-changing series.
The wait is soon over, for this will most definitely be The Summer of Dragons!

Here's my literary submission for the 
movie contest.
Note: To the best of my knowledge, there is NOT a movie coming out next year (I kind of forgot to put in that disclaimer on my other entry). This is just for fun.
I wrote it roughly as a press release - though of course a real press release would give more info on actors, director, producers, that sort of thing. I didn't want to bog this down with a wishlist of who I'd want to see do this movie. Frankly I wouldn't know who to choose except Weta or ILM for the visual effects and for the soundtrack: Howard Shore (who did Lord of the Rings) or John Barry (who did Dances with Wolves).
I actually wrote this entry a couple weeks ago but delayed uploading it as I expected more literary entries and had already put in a tagline entry: [link] . I did reuse the tagline however (trying to keep a theme going)!
I'm still hemming and hawing about doing a poster entry. This has been a busy month and I've had no time to work on such a piece (though I have thought much about it!)
Oh well, I've got a couple more days; we'll see what pops up...)

T'would be great if a Pern movie were indeed coming out next year. At this rate, perhaps in the next couple of years, assuming 2012 doesn't end in a holocaust. John Barry probably would be a good choice, were he still alive as well. I'd say that OTHER John, but he's pretty cliched with Star Wars at this point. Certainly whoever is chosen will give it a great score.
We will all hold our breaths, and see.
