The Kitchen Table
This is the board found at Anne's own site, which is subdivided into a number of different forums.  Anne herself reads it from time to time and occasionally answers questions.  Her son Alec (who's also the webmaster of the site) also reads and replies upon occasion.    You'll find I'm a pretty frequent poster here, and a host of a few forums to boot! 

The Kitchen Table Live
This is the chat room at Anne's own site.  Anne herself visits most days of the week, usually around 4-5pm GMT (11am-Noon EST, 2-3pm PST).  Many visitors report that this is the friendliest chat room they've ever been to.  Although it's not monitored 24 hours a day, there quite often is a host in (seen or invisible), keeping tabs on bad actors and getting them to straighten up or get out.  I'm a host here too, in most nights around 11pm EST.

This is a link to the Pern newsgroup where various and sundry discussions of all things Pern occur.  I have a short intro to the newsgroup that you should read before posting, and there's an alt.fan.pern FAQ.
