More Discworld

Jul 10, 2010 08:48

I continue to mainline Discworld. I decided to get caught up on some of the older books before continuing with the Witches and Death series, so I read Pyramids and Small Gods and am up to The Last Continent with the Rincewind books. I rather like Rincewind and his Luggage, even though they've created an irresistable urge in me to write crackfic ( Read more... )

books, discworld

May I point you to the crack? The fantastic DameRuth had the crossover bug for Discworld and Doctor Who...

These are firmly lodged into my favorites.

Glad you liked my crossover crack (I'm already logged into ElJay, so replying here is easier than logging into Teaspoon, too -- lazy, me?). :)

FWIW, I had a rough sequel sketched out in which Ten and Rose showed up at the Hub and came running out of the TARDIS begging Jack to save them from the Luggage . . . only to have Ianto tame it with Secret Tailor Skills (like Ninja Skillz, but more sartorially oriented) passed down to him by his dad, ending with the Luggage devotedly following Ianto everywhere, helping him defeat alien menaces (and carrying his spare suits). Sadly, I never got 'round to writing it up and was eventually Russelled by the revelations of CoE, but I still think it was a cute idea. XD

To heck with RTD! The point of fan fiction is to FIX the mess the writers left us.

I heard Pratchett speak a few years ago, and after his talk he took questions. The *first* question was, "What's next for the luggage?!?" The whole place cracked up.

Pratchett actually rolled his eyes at the guy. His answer invoked Douglas Adams' response to people asking *him* about Marvin, they both came down to "it was a good bit, but I'm tired of the gag." Pratchett was very nice about it, though. Great speaker.
