What Should The Next Discworld be about?

I’d be up for one featuring the ahem “seamstresses”.

Sure you would. It’d have to have a cover that looked like a plain envelope as well. And watch out for Clarissa and her mushroom. :wink:

How “up” would you be? :smiley:
(Apologies to Johnny Carson)

Yeah, this sounds good. That was pretty cool.

It could be about a Biers vs Mended Drum cricket match :stuck_out_tongue:

(with the zombies etc “short leg” might take on a new meaning)

:mad: How many fish would you like to be hit with? I’ll even let you pick hot or cold.

:smiley:

That’s what I like about the SDMB–all the modern convienences.
Hot & cold running bludgeons!

Fish can’t run, silly!

Are bludgeons a fresh water or salt water fish? Any relationship to the cod?

They’ve been known to give people the cod eyes, yes. :smiley:

Speaking of which, can someone review Science of Discworld 2 for me? I got the first and enjoyed it, but heard some bad noises about the second one and haven’t gotten the courage to plunk down for the hardcover yet…

Here’s an idea: someone is killing members of the Assassin’s Guild. After their own attempts to catch the perpetrator fail, and in danger of losing face, the Guild turns to the Watch. Vimes wants to tell the A.G. to go to hell, but Vetinari orders him to investigate.

Milennium hand and shrimp!

Buggrit.

ooooooo, excellent idea.

sports

Ok, I’ll only hit you with a herring, they’re small.

Come on, Anaamika, tell me how you really feel about sports. Quit beating around the bush!

I’d like more Witches (not Tiffany Aching, I know there’s one on the way), but more exploration of Granny’s battles with the darkness inside her. I feel Pterry’s been forshadowing there for a while now…
Also, isn’t Angua about due for puppies? Err, not Angua , but Angua von Uberwald.

…But most of all, I’m holding out for another Johnny Maxwell book…

This isn’t the Pit. :smiley:

Well recovered. :wink:

Actually, as long as there isn’t too much sport in the next Discworld novel, I don’t care what its about. Come on PTerry!!! I need a new Discworld fix!

While I appreciate you feelings (and fear your fishy wrath), I must say that from where I stand (ie in Britain) sport does appear to be about 85% of British culture (rising to 90% if you include weirdo stuff like cricket).

My objection to sport is that I can’t see it fitting too well into Discworld life – not in the same way that it does here, anyway.

On the other hand, universities usually have a sporting tradition, don’t they? Hmm… I could just about imagine Ridcully getting one of his sudden enthusiasms…

No, you’re quite right. No sport. It is a silly idea.
