-----------------------------------------
FAQ SUGGESTIONS.
-----------------------------------------
Any suggestions, alterations, daquiris or renditions of
the "Banana Splits" theme song can be emailed to the
author at orin@lspace.org. A FAQ is as relevant as
the newsgroup helps it to be. If you reckon something
is wrong or is not covered give us a yell. Your email
will be highly appreciated. This document can only be as
relevant as people help me make it. Needless to say, as
I've been around AFP since late 1992, my view on what
constitutes an FAQ is going to be rather different to yours
- but in a lot of ways *your* interpretation is more
important as I am perhaps past the point where I can see
this with clear eyes.
-----------------------------------------
THE USENET NEWSGROUPS
-----------------------------------------
Welcome to the Pratchett Usenet Newsgroups.
Where possible, pointers to existing information (such as books,
magazine articles, and ftp sites) are included here.
This FAQ is currently posted to news.answers
alt.answers
alt.books.pratchett
alt.fan.pratchett and
alt.fan.pratchett.announce
All posts to news.answers are archived, and it is possible to retrieve
the last posted copy via anonymous FTP from
Those without FTP access should mailto:mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu
with "send usenet/news.answers/finding-sources" in the body to find
out how to get archived news.answers posts by e-mail.
This FAQ was mostly written by Orin Thomas who took it on in May
in 1995 from Nathan Torkington. It includes contributions by Leo
the Ent (thalt shall worship) and the readers of
alt.fan.pratchett and alt.books.pratchett (pterry included).
Alt.fan.pratchett, alt.books.pratchett,alt.talk.mended-drum
and afp.announce
-------------------------------------------------------
There are four newsgroups devoted to the author Terry Pratchett on
the internet. These are.
alt.fan.pratchett
The oldest and perhaps the best known Pratchett newsgroup. It has
a fairly large amount of traffic much of it not directly Pratchett
related. Think of it more as the discussion of a group of Terry
Pratchett fans meeting at an on-line pub.
alt.fan.pratchett.announce
AFPA is the noticeboard of the aformentioned on-line pub. People
post FAQ's like this one, notices of fan meetings and other
important information. Terry also posts his signing tour details
here.
alt.books.pratchett
alt.books.pratchett is to alt.fan.pratchett as a Cafe is to a Pub.
This is where the more serious pratchett discussions take place.
If you want a serious discussion of an idea you want to explore
this is a better place to start.
alt.talk.mended-drum
A low traffic newsgroup frequented by those that have been around
afp for a reasonably long time and find the hurly burly somewhat
exhausting. Posting is a complex affair however instructions can
be found on lspace -
GENERAL NETTIQUETTE.
-------------------
If you haven't already done so, now is as good a time as any to read
the guide to Net etiquette which is posted to news.announce.newusers
You should be familiar with acronyms like FAQ, FTP and IMHO, as well
as know about smileys, followups and when to reply by e-mail to postings.
Posting a question covered in a well circulated FAQ shows a disregard
for polite nettiquette. If you note that someone is asking an FAQ then
email them and say - "did you know they have this thing called a FAQ?"
Posting a short story of Terry's is not only bad nettiquette but will
earn you a visit from Lawyers. We are not kidding. Do not do it.
--- Flaming ---
More recently afp has been subjected to several flame wars where people
have hurled abuse at one another under the mistaken impression that the
rest of us actually care. Your views on sex, religion, race and politics
are of no interest to the group. Your negative views on other posters are
also of no interest to the group.
Be very aware now that online defamation law is now gaining ground.
If you flame a poster who has earnt a significant reputation it is
very possible that you will be hit by a defamation lawsuit. A
defamation is an imputation that harms a reputation. Also it is
very important to note that defendants are almost never awarded
costs - hence if you are hit with a defamation suit, you will
most likely have to pay your own legal fees. Finally, given that
the internet is multi-jurisdictional, a particularly vindictive
plaintiff might choose to sue you in a country where defamtion
laws are especially strict. Just because the US has a form of
free speech doesn't mean that Australia or the UK does as well.
You have been warned.
As a further addendum to this particular passage. One AFPer
has threatened a defamation suit against an ISP and a particular
poster. This threat was later withdrawn.
Whilst the law might acknowledge your right to litigate such
a problem - be aware that the newsgroup probably will not. You
will want to be standing on extremely solid ground before you
launch, or threaten, a defamation action. If you are launching
it against a group regular - you might as well kiss your future
postings goodbye. That may seem unfair to say - but groups do
tend to watch after their own. Defamation litigation should be
your utter last resort - and is guarenteed to do your reputation
worse harm than any imputations made in someone's original post.
If you post about religion and it don't involve a turtle named "OM"
... well ... you have been warned. Though I must admit it does get
you added to quite a few killfiles very quickly.
Flaming Pterry is just stupid and is likely to give you a mailbox full
of bile. We like him. We probably don't like you. Nuff Said.
PRATCHETT NEWSGROUP PECULIARITIES.
--------------------------------
Being a rather unique bunch of people we also have some guidelines
that are more or less being used on alt.fan/books.pratchett.
--- THE USE OF [R] and [I]. ---
"In theory they are forums for those who appreciate the books, but
exchanges segue into something completely different with extreme
rapidity. On alt.fan.pratchett they generally head in the direction
of the topics of food, traffic roundabouts, drink and, for some reason,
pubic wigs."
- Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs. DW Companion.
[R] is for Relevant.
[I] is for Irrelevant.
Anything about Terry Pratchett, His Books, His Characters,
the Computer Games, and items Pratchettesque should be labeled
[R]. Anything else should be labeled [I]. Given the high volume of
posting to AFP it would be appreciated if you could please modify the
subject line as often as you can.
Be aware that some [R] threads can turn [I] very quickly. Make sure
you don't cross post an [I] thread to the group alt.books.pratchett
as this will make people very cross. Discipline via Orang-Utan is
possible.
--- WHAT IS A SPOILER AND WHEN SHOULD I USE ONE? ---
A spoiler is essentially a warning about information contained in
a book. For example saying that Nobby lead the revolt in
Uberwald Nights, or that Rincewind ran away too quickly on
his wedding night in "The Missing Chapter" would require a
spoiler if these texts existed.
Originally we asked that you didn't post information to the group
about new books not yet available in paperback. Though you should
be especially careful about the newer books you might wish to take
care in revealing information about older books as well. Many people
new to the group will not have read each and every DW book so keep
this in mind when discussing them and warn people appropriately.
Terry obviously doesn't have to worry about this. It is rare that
he *starts* a thread - and if he answers a spoiler article it is
really up to the person who first put the spoiler in to duly warn.
Perhaps the best way to warn for spoilers is to take the
alt.books.pratchett approach of putting the first line of
your post as
Spoilers: Jingo, MAA
and then leaving a few lines of spoiler space. Perhaps even putting
in something like:
S
P
O
I
L
E
R
S
--- Posting to Alt.Fan.Pratchett.Annouce ---
The Moderated Newsgroup devoted to the important posts that might be
missed in the clutter of alt.fan.pratchett.
If you have something important to announce to alt.fan.pratchett then
mailto:afpa-mod@lspace.org
Please note, the submission criterion are not particularly strict. If
you email the moderator with something (an annotation perhaps) that
has already been covered by one of the FAQs or files then you will
be politely pointed towards the aformentioned source (without
any embarrassment). If you think that it is important and that the
whole newsgroup should know then post it. A.f.p.a is not just for FAQs!
--- More FAQs than you can poke a stick at ---
There are a lot of FAQs around the pratchett newsgroups. I don't think
anyone knows exactly how many there are now. alt.fan.pratchett.announce
seems to carry all of them so browse there if you have a question. Perhaps
at some stage one of us will write an afplopedia which incorporates all
this knowledge. (though at present the lspace web does this quite nicely)
It would be novel if people read the FAQs so kindly point any newbies
at this document if they seem a little clueless.
A good place to find these is:
-----------------------------------------
OTHER INTERNET RESOURCES.
-----------------------------------------
--- The LSPACE Web ---
Perhaps the most important development in the last years has been the
setting up of the Lspace web pages. These are essentially an online
library to Pratchett Fandom. There are mirrors at many places around
the world and the sites are updated weekly, if not daily. This is sort
of the "permanent record" of internet pratchettdom. If you log onto the
main server at you should be redirected to your
closest lspace mirror.
Things on the Lspace Web include:
The Annotated Pratchett File
This file explains some of the subtleties of Terry's works. It is
currently at v7.a.5.3 and can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from the
Pratchett Archives. If you've ever gone ... "I know where he got that
from" ... this is the file for *YOU*!
The APF is pretty much the alt.fan.pratchett encyclopedia including
many of the best quotes from Terry on the net over the years. It is
in various formats including Windows Help file format. Reading this
will answer almost any question about the books.
Pratchett Quote File
Another Leo Breebaart production this is a file of all the best of Terry's
quotes from all the books. If you want to look up a quote in a hurry,
or look for something impressive in a .sig file, take a gander
at this one. Now moderated by Kimberley Verburg.
The Discworld Timeline
A highly impressive document suggesting which events followed other
events which might have preceded certain events but only after
particular events which are known to have caused final events.
Available on Lspace.org
Rogues Gallery.

more active denizens. Find out what your favorite posters look like.
The Rouges Gallery is getting a little outdated these days. It is
more representative of the 1996-1997 AFP crowd than today's posters.
Soon will be coming the A-Files - a more current collection of AFPers.
You will also find the words to the "Hedgehog Song" and "A Wizard's Staff"
as well as the rules to Cripple Mr Onion sitting in the Rouges Gallery.

-----------------------------------------
BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------
This is stuff about Terry Pratchett himself. Information about Terry is
usually hard to find if only because he prefers to talk about his works
rather than himself. This information is condensed from the "About the Author"
sections of his books.
TERRY PRATCHETT.
----------------
--- PERSONAL HISTORY ---
"People never read these biographies anyway, do they? They want to
get on with the book, not wade through masses of prose designed to
suggest that the author is really a very interesting person so look,
okay, he wrote these other books, all right. Most were also about the
Discworld, and actually quite a lot of people liked them."
- From the "About the Author" section of the
earlier Discworld books.
Terry Pratchett is, on average, a sort of youngish middle-aged.
He was born on the 28th of April in 1948 in the village of Forty Green
(now a part of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire) and is still not dead.
He lives in the west country with his wife Lyn and daughter Rhianna
where he writes books in between answering the mail. He lives in
constant dread that someone will find out how enjoyable he finds
writing, and stop him doing it.
He chose journalism as a career because it was indoor work with no
heavy lifting. He's managed to avoid all the really interesting jobs
authors take in order to look good in this sort of biography.
He started work as a journalist one day in 1965 and saw his first
corpse three hours later, work experience meaning something in
those days. After doing just about every job it's possible to do in
provincial journalism, except of course covering Saturday afternoon
football, he joined the Central Electricity Generating Board and
became press officer for four nuclear power stations just before
Three Mile Island, which shows his unerring sense of timing.
He'd write a book about his experiences if he thought anyone would
believe it. All this came to an end in 1987 when it became obvious
that the Discworld series was much more enjoyable than real work.
Occasionally he gets accused of literature. He says writing is the
most fun anyone can have by themselves.
He grows carnivorous (which, he argues, are really insectivorious)
plants as a hobby (which are doing quite well by the way) and tells
us that they are a lot less interesting than people believe. He likes
people to buy him banana daiquiris (he knows people don't read author
biographies, but feels this might be worth a try). He tries to make
computers do things they were never intended to do. He also feels that
the world could use more orang-utans.
He has a two speed Hedge Cutter and there is no truth to the rumor that
he likes being presented with Dried Frog Pills. Someone's father once
sold him a carrot.
--- HOW DID HE COME TO WRITE? ---
The first story he ever wrote was for a school assignment and was called
"The Hades Business". He managed to get 10 out of 10 for it. It was the
first time he had gotten 10 out of 10 for anything except for a painting
which his teacher *thought* was two dinosaurs fighting. This story was
then published in his school magazine.
There it would have ended, except for his school headmaster who
addressed an assembly shortly afterward and announced that he didn't
approve of the "moral tone" of the story. The magazine, which would
have struggled to break even, sold out within 15 minutes. He learned
an important lesson, right then -- by writing it is possible to
infuriate your enemies as well as please your friends.
He then had the story typed up by his Aunt and sold it to the magazine
Science Fantasy (#60, vol 20, 1963), and with the profits bought a
typewriter. This his first act as an income earner was to fire his Aunt.
His mother rewarded this Thatcherite attitude and paid for his typing
lessons and he was on his way.
--- I WANT TO CONTACT TERRY FOR AN INTERVIEW OR SOMETHING ---
Contact his agent, Colin Smythe (CPSmythe@aol.com) - that is the best
way to ensure that your request gets to Terry. You can try to email him
directly - but given the volume he gets, there is a good chance that it
might not be responded to.
--- THE DISCWORLD BOOK LIST ---
Here is a list of Terry's Discworld Book Titles. A more complete listing
including the Nome, Pre-Discworld, Collaborations and Young Adult books
(including ISBN etc) is in the PRATCHETT BIBLIOGRAPHY.
The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Equal Rites, Mort
Sourcery, Wyrd Sisters, Pyramids, Guards! Guards!, Eric
Moving Pictures, Reaper Man, Witches Abroad, Small Gods
Lords and Ladies, Men At Arms, Soul Music, Interesting Times,
Maskerade, The Streets of Ankh Morpork (with Stephen Briggs),
The Discworld Companion (with Stephen Briggs), Mappe of the
Discworld (with Stephen Briggs),Maskerade, Feet of Clay,
The Pratchett Portfolio (with Paul Kidby), Hogfather, Jingo,
The Last Continent, A Tourist Guide to Lancre (with
Stephen Briggs), Carpe Jugulum, The Science of the Discworld
Death's Domain, The Fifth Elephant, The Truth, Thief of Time,
The Last Hero, The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents and
Science of Discworld II.
NEIL GAIMAN
-----------
Co-wrote the fan favorite "Good Omens" with Pterry.
Neil Gaiman used to be a journalist, but gave it all up to write
comics, which he claims are a totally valid late twentieth century
art-form, and he's even won awards for them, so that's all right.
He's 5'10'' tall, owns a number of black T-shirts, and, although
he's not overly keen of banana daiquiris, is always very flattered
when appreciative fans send him money.
from "Good Omens" written with
Terry Pratchett.
STEPHEN BRIGGS.
---------------
Stephen Briggs was born in 1951 and lives in Oxfordshire.
With the assistance of Terry Pratchett, he helped with the
creation of the 'Streets of Ankh-Morpork', 'The Discworld
Companion' and the 'Map of the Discworld'. He also collaborated
with Terry on the Discworld Diaries and Nanny Ogg's Cookbook.
Oxford's Studio Theatre Club went on to stage Stephen's adaptations of
Wyrd Sisters, Mort, Guards! Guards!, Maskerade, Jingo and Carpe
Jugulum. Stephen is currently rehearsing a production of the Fifth
Elephant. Six of the plays have been published as has his version
of Johnny & the Dead.
There is a photo of him on the lspace web. He would like the publishers to
pay for more trips to exciting places than they have currently sent
him to. He deeply suspects that Terry gets sent really cool places
that have daquiris and dancing girls and wants in.
There is no truth to the rumor that his most exciting experience on
tour with Terry involved a senior citizens club and some cucumber
sandwiches.
His merchandise can be found at http://www.cmotdibbler.com
JOSH KIRBY
----------
Josh Kirby is an artist who has been drawing covers for many years
now. He has done the covers for (among others) Terry Pratchett, Craig
Shaw Gardner, Esther Friesner, Dan McGirt and the new editions of Tom
Holt's novels.
He also illustrated the Discworld (sort-of picture) book "Eric". He
has at least two poster books out, one with large versions of the
first seven Discworld covers. One is "In the Garden of Unearthly
Delights", published by Paper Tiger in 1991. Its ISBN is
1-85028-154-8. It costs #9.95 (pounds sterling) and runs to 143 pages
of artwork. The other is "The Josh Kirby Poster Book" published by
Corgi in 1991, ISBN 0 552 99382 4.
Josh passed away in October 2001 aged 72.
PAUL KIDBY
----------
Paul Kidby has collaborated with Terry Pratchett on a number of
projects including the exceptionally interesting Pratchett Portfolio
as well as Nanny's Cookbook and the Discworld Diaries and most recently
The Last Hero.
-----------------------------------------
TERRY PRATCHETT and the INTERNET.
-----------------------------------------
--- Terry Pratchett and Usenet ---
Terry Pratchett was a regular on alt.fan.pratchett between
1992 and 1999. He was a regular on alt.books.pratchett between
its inception an 1999. He has had several periods where he
hasn't posted - between 1999 and late 2000 being one.
To give you an idea of exactly how long TP has been on usenet,
if internet years are like dog years - Terry has been around more
than 50 internet years. This is a monumental effort. Consider this,
of the regulars that were on the group when Terry joined in
1992, only 2 or so are still around now.
His last hiatus was caused by the posting of speculative
stories about future discworld events. TP felt that this put him
in an awkward legal position. It meant that he could not use these
ideas if he had independantly developed them because of possible
litigation. There is a *rumour* that a few paragraphs of The
Fifth Elephant had to be cut because someone posted a speculative
article about the future of Sir and Lady Vimes.
So this is a warning - don't post speculative stuff.
--- His E-Mail address ---
"When I first went on line I left myself open to about a thousand
mailings on the lines of "Are you Terry Pratchett or what?" It
didn't matter what I replied. If I played it straight and said
"yes" some of them would reply, "oh, go on, you're not, are you?"
and I was damned if I was going to say "no"."
Terry Pratchett - Discworld Companion.
"Well, it's happened...
"I have to announce:
"I can no longer answer all my email.
"There's simply too much. It's hard to catch up even if I'm away from
the machine for a day or two, and now I've realised that despite me
continuing to give it as much time as I can the inbox is actually
getting bigger, possibly because the apparent sudden surge in US fans.
Sorry. From now on, an email to me is going to be a shot in the dark,
I'm afraid.
Terry Pratchett
"Certainly at lot of the emails I get suggest that the writer doesn't
read afp -- there's a daily sprinkle of 'What's the next book about?'
and 'When's the next tour?'
"But in reality people often aren't writing because they want that
information. They want to write an email to a favourite author, and
they don't want to sound too fanboy, so asking a real question gives
them, they feel, a reason. This is fine. It's just that there's so
many:-)
Terry Pratchett
Terry gets a staggering amount of email and because he is getting
snowed under to the point of being unable to write books, his address
has been removed from this document. Smart people tend to be able
to figure it out all by themselves though.
--- His Setup ---
Terry's house is probably similar to the computer version of an Elephant's
graveyard. Many relics stored around the place. The house has a network.
He is currently using a Pentium II with Word Perfect for Windows. Although, in
a concession to tradition, he has Word Perfect set up to run like Word
Perfect 4.2 for DOS :-)
He also used to own an Amstrad, and is a fan of the classic isometric
perspective games, Batman and Head Over Heels, as well as being a
ZX-81 maniac. He is a declared fan of the Wing Commander series and
also is quite fond of the game Doom. Future historians of computer
science will probably look upon his extensive collection with awe.
I don't know what he is playing at the moment but it probably involves
lots of explosions ... Rabbits probably figure prominently as well ...
and don't get him started about that 2 speed hedge trimmer!
According to dejanews the group which he posts to the 3rd most
is alt.games.tombraider so he *probably* plays that as well.
Think of it this way - if you were a technophile like him and had
the oppertunity to get all the kit you wanted - wouldn't you make
sure that you were bleeding edge?

COMPUTER GAMES.

--- "The Colour of Magic" Game ---
There was a game called "The Colour of Magic" released by Delta 4,
which contained passages straight from the book. It was available for
8-bit machines, the Spectrum and C64.
It should be available at the Pratchett Archives.
--- "Terry Pratchett's Discworld" Game ---
Released by Psygnosis the new Discworld game has been released for the
