Of dragons, Pratchett and my immortality.

[rajasen]

You know what? This one is essential reading. I kid you not.It was the summer of 2003, and a younger, sillier, blue-haired version of me was studying for my Masters at Warwick U. One afternoon I noticed that a bestselling novelist was giving a talk on creating fantasy universes and while I hadn't read him at all at the time, I had enough friends

From a humble spider to a majestic dragon... that's fantastic, Raja!

And he had me at "little gold chocolates..."

What better than a dragon named after you!!

How come I had never heard the Pratchett story before?

[rajasen]

it's called Envious Husband Syndrome.

[rajasen]

aha, and what spider you calling humble, miss? :)

Dude, that is just so cool.

[rajasen]

isn't it just?
I'm being uber-geeky, but hey :)

and now I have to make sure the book adorns my bookshelf, if only for the want of a Crouching Tiger-Hidden Dragon. MY crouching Tiger-Hidden dragon, of course. :)

I HATE YOU!
lol, that is one seriously cool story. I've been kicking myself for years for missing out on my chance to meet Robert Jordan (across the street from me, he was!) and you go and get yourself a character in fucking Terry Pratchett's book! no wonder sloth is a sin.

now, see, THAT's the reaction I was aiming for :)

Someday, someday I will host that dinner with Rushdie, Gaiman and Barnes. Someday..

My dear friend,

Its amazing how you keep getting these little ego boosters(okay,this one was a biggie) every now and then..i have seen it happening again and again over the years and i know for a fact that you completely relish and survive on them. The look on your face...the tenor of your writing completely changes when these things happen..its a delight to watch and read!

funny how these things don't happen to us mortals...
