Okay, so I've seen this done on many other types of sites.
How about a little game. ABCs of Pern.
Here's how to play. In your post, you post the next available letter of the alphabet and then a word that begins with that letter that is related to Pern. It would be great if you included a brief description or explanation of the word as well so we can all learn a bit too!!
If we make it to Z, we can just start over again with A!
Okay, I'll start.
A - Agenothree - chemical used by the ground crews of Pern to destroy any thread burrows.

B - Between: an area of nothingness and sensory deprivation between here and there.
* Between places: In order to be able to go between places a dragon and/or its rider has to know where to go. The rider has to visualize a reference or recognition point and transfers it to the mind of his or her dragon. There are certain consequences to an ill-considered jump. Badly visualized reference points often result in staying between. One should always plan to arrive in the air above the reference point. The more experienced riders do not have to be in the air while taking the jump but can also do so from a stationary position on the ground. Weyrlings are taught a certain number of reference or recognition points, beginning with the Star Stone-Eye Rock-Finger Rock configuration of its Weyr. More reference points are then learned, first by getting the initial visualization by the instructor. After that weyrlings are constantly taken to and from the main reference points all across Pern.

O - Oxen: on Pern they had a type of phlegmatic heavy duty ox-type beasts which were especially used for pulling the heavy trader carts in multiple teams. They had been one of the last bio-engineering feats from Wind Blossom, granddaughter of Kit (Kitty) Ping Yung, both colonists.
