Notes

^ Anne and Todd had drafted two sequels to Dragongirl by December 2009, then called "Rider" and Time" rather than vice versa.^[1] By summer 2010, editor Shelly Shapiro had suggested and all had agreed to switch the titles.^[2] In July 2010, Todd anticipated that "the gap between Dragon's Time and Dragonrider is just about the same as the gap between Dragongirl and Dragon's Time", namely 11 months.^[2]
^ Hans van der Boom reported 2008/2009 that McCaffrey at age 82 had warned its completion may not be possible: "with recurring health problems, it is very hard to find the energy ...".

• Recently (2011), regarding collaboration with Todd, Anne McCaffrey says "I still am a bit possessive when it comes to the futures of F'lar and Lessa.["After the Fall"] ... Not only have I enjoyed helping Todd wrap up this very dramatic part of Pernese history, but my own creative juices have been flowing thick and furious: I've been writing up a storm on my own, too."
