Bit unfair, because when compared to Terry Pratchett, just about everything else gets tossed to read more Pratchett. 😅

(not that I disagree, Pratchett is best)

Imagine if JK Rowling had even a 1/1000th the artistry and intuitive empathy Pratchett had for the world, there would be millions upon millions of people out there with a life long love of a series who didn’t feel betrayed and forced to make a choice between being part of a community that textually hates them or continuing to love their childhood nostalgia.

Careful, Nanny will make you do chores.

Does Nanny NOT make you do the chores?? She told me everyone else was very studious about doing them and that only I was slacking off.

Wait a minute….

She had me convinced SHE was the one being fooled this whole time, she even told me so

I just wish there was more media of the Discworld other than the books, a handful of movies and some games of the 90's. It is such a big universe that has so much room for stories.

I'm sure the studios will get around to it and then we'll get a million sequels. Maybe the estate owning the rights is not keen on authorizing works.

Yeah I don't think his daughter is that hot on allowing a lot of people to do stuff with it. Last year's animated Maurice movie was about the only thing in a long time, I think?
