Death said:REMIND ME AGAIN, HOW DO THE LITTLE HORSEY ONES MOVE?
Pratchett doesn't play chess, he plays checkers. /pratchettnerrdHe was my favorite author. I am really going to miss new stories out of Lancre and Ankh-Morepork.
Yes, but Death does.Pratchett doesn't play chess, he plays checkers. /pratchettnerrd
In that case, neither of them are going to know how to move the horsey pieces.Yes, but Death does.
That's why he has to ask Death to remind him how the horsey pieces move.

See, there are some series that I do wish would have lasted beyond their creator's death... Redwall for one, if only because we STILL haven't gotten a proper movie for it. But given the anthology nature of Discworld, I'm more than happy to let it lie where it's at and hope the upcoming movies turn out to be good.Pulling this back up for some news, Pratchett's daughter will not write, nor allow anyone else to write, Discworld novels.
Good, his was a unique voice and I don't think anyone could capture it and do the stories justice. Now... a Night's Watch TV series...... that would be fine.Pulling this back up for some news, Pratchett's daughter will not write, nor allow anyone else to write, Discworld novels.
I still wish Disney hadn't dropped their Mort adaption in pre-production. It was many of the many causalities of the "No more hand-drawn animation" shit that hit in the mid 2000's.Good, his was a unique voice and I don't think anyone could capture it and do the stories justice. Now... a Night's Watch TV series...... that would be fine.
While it's sad some story lines won't get closure and the "unfinished" novels won't be finished, I have to say I'm glad. This could've easily turned into a disaster.Pulling this back up for some news, Pratchett's daughter will not write, nor allow anyone else to write, Discworld novels.
And if you had any ideas that someone else might finish the things he started, you can put those ideas to rest, as well.Pulling this back up for some news, Pratchett's daughter will not write, nor allow anyone else to write, Discworld novels.
Not at all, in my opinion.Is it weird that I think that no more discworld stories is unfair... to the characters?
I'm not gonna go further in this thread, but I do respectfully disagree with you about this.He's dead. Copyright no longer has any "motive" for somebody to create, as THEY'RE DEAD. Should be public domain now. That it isn't is a tragedy for culture in general IMO.
That was exactly my point, the tragedy of perpetual copyright.Things don't fall into public domain until 70 years after the author's death. So look forward to the Discworld Reboot in 2086, I guess.
My reply to Wahad above is all I'll say. I agree it's a topic for another thread.I'm not gonna go further in this thread, but I do respectfully disagree with you about this.
