To wonder how many of you have Terry Pratchett-related usernames?

Come forward, all you Pratchett People!

I've had this name for ages, although I have added to it tonight.
The STP usernames make me smile when I spot them.

I think I wanted Mrs Sam Vimes or something but it was taken.

Checking in

Nc in honour of TP. Nanny Ogg has my favourite character name. I like Death too and Terry certainly made him seem a bit friendlier.

Bugger. NC didn't work properly. I shouldn't really be allowed around anything vaguely tech at the moment.

I didn't but have NC in honour

me

the world is a poorer place tonight

Checking in (sadly).

Me. Librarian related. So sad that my gateway to Discworld has gone. I will need to start the books from the beginning again.

nevertheless.... the turtle moves

Nanny Ogg has my favourite character name.

First one since I heard the news...

Now crying again.

Buggrit. Too many stories still to be told.

Last time I got to this thread in 9 minutes. I feel slower and sadder now.

Puffy eyes and no new books to read.

I think I'll dig out Good Omens tonight and read what Neil Gaiman has to say about Terry.

Very sad news. The dc will never know the joy of waiting for a new Pratchett book.

No related name here but Terry Pratchett saved my life. I have read and re-read his books through suicide attempts to keep me from re-trying. I also require 3 discworld books a day when I'm in hospital or I get cranky and bored.

Oh Ebwy

His books are all still there. Like old friends. You can read them whenever you like, as many times as you like.

I'm only lurking here but that's my go to username on forums so I've registered.
This has to be the first time in my life I've cried when someone famous passed away.

I too cried at my desk yesterday and had to explain why.

I've had UNSEEN UNIVERSITY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT on a (burnt) plaque on my office door for the entirety of my time here. Nobody has ever asked me to remove it. Very few have got the joke (I'm a research scientist).

I have two signed books where he actually wrote to moonbells, Head of R&D, Unseen University. (And was highly amused at being asked!)

Going to re-read Carpe Jugulum, as it's got the Nac Mac Feegle, witches and Death in. While listening to Steeleye Span's Wintersmith. Loudly.

I've never cried at a celebrity's passing either. This is different though. I feel as though I intimately knew all those characters. Went through stuff with them. Shared in their angst. Watched them develop. Just got to know them really. To think that the brilliant mind that produced them all has gone now, doesn't seem possible.

HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE

I hope you'll all join me by wearing lilac on the Glorious 25th of May in honour of TP.

That's the bank holiday isn't it? In half term.

That's the day we're taking the kids to Harry Potter world. Got that date ingrained in my soul. We're supposed to be going at Easter but I didn't realise how fast the place got booked up. I'm sure I can sneak a bit of lilac about my person.

checking in... named for something in my favourite book :)

oh I'll never part with my discworld books... they are a must!
