Hey, Embers! I had so hoped to go to that signing. I'm glad you got to.

A Discworld convention would be a blast. I am jealous.

There is room for many gods on the Discworld, so Joss and Terry are there together. They are probably playing dice with our (entertainment) futures as we write.

I'm sorry you weren't there...
he was very funny.
I would totally go to a convention
(besides I want to buy some fan stuff...)
BTW did you notice my shirt design?

Um... I read Good Omens.

He co-wrote that (with my literary God, Neil Gaiman).

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

(Goes back and takes a better look at the picture) GREEBO! I love Greebo too in all his forms. Did he notice it?

I just read Good Omens for the first time. It is brilliant.

yes, TP laughed about it... he asked me if I was one of those women who ... and then I didn't get what he asked!
I said that like Granny Weatherwax, I would be kind of appalled if I actually met Greebo,
but TP seemed to think that Granny would just be above it all.
It was hard to say anything much since there was a long line in a noisy room...

It was just so cool to get to meet him!

I believe alt.fan.pratchett has created a virtual nation somewhere.

Been a while since I peeked in on them.

Pratchett's take on gods (and Gods) is one of my favorites.
I would say he compares favorably to them but is much more inventive.

Hello!!

yes, well i didn't say Terry was THE ONLY God, just that he is MY personal favourite God!

I got to meet him at a signing here in Sydney a couple of years ago..for the release of Going Postal...and he laughed at my name (prudence) cause he always says its funny that ppl name their kids after virtues...i mainly just stuttered and drooled...

I LOVE Greebo! hehehe, he's such the best cat ever.
i'm trying to convince BB to go the gala dinner as human Greebo! (he could totally pull it off)

Good Omens is also one of my favourite books of all time. the pairing of Neil Gaimen and Terry was so incredibly briliant! that book ROCKS! i love Neil's other work as well...very interesting.
