It's been quite some time since I've read it, but I don't believe that the short story "The Girl Who Heard Dragons" is incorporated into the novel The Renegades of Pern. Rather, IIRC, the novel takes place after the story, although it features some of the same characaters. --

"The Girl" takes place early in the history covered by Renegades. In a sense, the book covers "The Girl" from other perspectives, especially renegade Thella's and trader Jayge's. The girl Aramina's biography continues in the book. --

"The Girl" was heavily rewritten for incorporation in
Renegades. In the former, characters know the names of Lady Holdless Thella and the dragonless man (whose name I have forgotten); in Renegades, they do not. The two stories also give different versions of Thella's meeting with Aramina's family and the work Thella hires Aramina's father to do. If the short story is set before the novel, then surely the characters in the novel would remember the events of the short story.

Dragonboy
In The Smallest Dragonboy section it says: "Keevan gets in a fight with Beterli, who says he will be dropped." In the book, Beterli implies that Keevan was dropped, but he never directly says it. --

Later history
The first three story capsules include information about what their characters (K'van, Aramina, Tenna) do afterward, in Pern novels. That should be presented separately such as with a paragraph break. --

For now the later history is in footNotes. --

Major revision
I have completed a major expansion and revision but limited to the lead, Infobox, layout, and publication history of the stories. —no attention to the content of the four story sections, except relegation of later history to footNotes (just above).
Beside Section headings, there are
Template:Anchors for links to the story sections, using the primary nouns of their titles.
