Buzzfloyd, I think, once coined the term "Disciples".

Disciples... very cool..

so there isn't an 'official' name for us yet.. Maybe we should ask Pterry.

I like that, Disciples - only the chosen know how to pronounce it so as not to confuse themselves with Christians. On paper they are totally incognito.

What is that? Vile democracy? On this board? This shall not stand! The term shall be disciples henceforth. So Saith Ba.

Disciples has far too much of a religious ring about it.
(It's not it's fault, it just happened that way, I know)

Granted, we are fervent admirers of Terry's work, but it sounds rather cultish.

Not that I have any better suggestions, just putting in my two cents.

Even if we pronounce it "diskiples"? (Then, rather than cultish, we go for both ignorant and pretentious - like that guy who pronounces "façade" like "fakaid")

I don't know about you but I am reading all the discworld novels in order this winter, except I didn't start with the first one, so you can't really call me obsessed, can you?

I don't want to be in a cult - I can't even remember the last goat I sacrificed.

Q. How do you write?
A. One word at a time.
