#discworld fandom

one of the funniest things about discworld fandom is that when someone feels they went a little too hornys with a certain character, they'll say something like "We'll all end up in a scorpion pit".

Do you ever think about how Good Omens was thought "unfilmable" by Jon Hamm and then he went on to play an angel in it ? Because it wasn't just Jon Hamm, a lot of people thought that. With good reason. Attempts to turn comic fantasy into celluloid often seem to flop, I don't really know why ( Maybe it's because so much of the humour is in the narration rather than the dialogue or actual events ? ) I never imagined I'd see Good Omens made into a show and that too, an excellent show, within my lifetime. And then Gaiman did the undoable. He did it for his friend because that was the last thing asked of him by his friend and co-creator and he did it well. The show is a smashing success, people who've never read anything by either Pratchett or Gaiman are watching it and at least some of them will be reading the books. Which will lead them to read more Pratchett novels and so on. The Discworld fandom just got a whole lot bigger, people are coming in droves to share all the love and it all began with a friendship/collaboration between two fantastic writers.
