Sir Terry Pratchett, renowned fantasy author, dies aged 66
I am so sad, I drew a lot from Terry's creations for my RP, especially Witch Nebula
“Right,' he said uncertainty. His mind was grinding through the problem. She was a witch. Just lately there'd been a lot of gossip about witches being bad for your health. He'd been told not to let witches pass, but no one had said anything about apple sellers. Apple sellers were not a problem. It was witches that were the problem. She'd said she was an apple seller and he wasn't about to doubt a witch's word.â€

I was really upset when I read this today.
When I first heard he had the condition, I sort of realized it was only a matter of time. Hearing him talk about the subject was always something... terrifying, yet amazing at the same time.
May he rest in peace, he walks with Death now.

Quote:"The world has lost one of its brightest, sharpest minds," said Larry Finlay of his publishing company, Transworld.
Quite a fitting opening to that article, and sets the tone well. I've always been a big fan of his Discworld series, and I think everyone can TELL WHERE I GOT JUDGE'S WAY OF TALKING FROM. I think my favorite part about them is, while they were technically a "series," you could grab basically any one of them and they were a self-contained tale in their own right as well.
He will certainly be missed.

Damn it. Thought we'd dodged another bullet this year when Ford survived his latest airplane accident, only for Terry to move on to the Next Great Adventure a few days later.

First Leonard Nimoy and now Terry Pratchett?
What did nerds ever do to you, God?

RIP, may your walk with Death be pleasant.
I was quite sad seeing this on my dashboard to know that he passed away but he's left behind a legacy that will be remembered.

Please remember that Death is not cruel, he is just very good at his job.

This makes me sad.
No more nobby nobs and seamstresses guild and meat pies and assassin's running the city.
He had a good run though.

God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
