1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
My love of coffe is only equalled by my love of sci fi

2) Male or Female?
female

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
21, England, Birmingham
4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)
I've never minded the movie or cartoon adaptations of pratchett books. Truckers wasn't so bad.

5) how, or by who, were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
Someone left a discworld book lying around when i was a kid (I think it might have been eric) and I'd read anything I picked up. After that I used to have to bribe my local librarian with cupcakes to let me take pratchett books out of the grown up section of the library.

Those sections!
For many years of my childhood, I thought I was lucky to have a librarian who didn't have a clue of literature. She never realized what ten year old me carried home. My parents were sometimes horrified, but too happy to have at least one book crazed child to interfer.

Welcome, caffeinated geek. Actually, i am always the most caffeinated person around here, and you are definitely not the only geek around either.

I thought bananas were the more usual form of librarian bribery ? But I do confirm Hsing's caffination...

The librarian at my local library was scary. She retired earlier this year and in all the years she worked there she never seemed to age.

  • 1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
  • 2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
  • 3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

  • 5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
  • 6) what's your personal quote of the day?
Edited to add the question Mal suggested
1)seemed like a good idea at the time
2) male at least at last check
3)fair to middlin geordie livin in jockland
4)there is always hope in the world
5)read the colour of magick at the tender age of ten and never looked back.
6) it aint a crime if you dont get caught


Hard work never killed anybody,BUT WHY RUN THE RISK!!

Hello,

I'm new so in answer to the questions above

1. I was too lazy to change my standard one (it was a long week).
2. female
3. 30s, Philadelphia, PA in the U.S.
4. Only if it is NOT done by Hollywood, in Hollywood and for Hollywood.
5. The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror mentioned him and than I picked up Wyrd Sisters. I was depressed and that book made me laugh so hard. I've been a fan since.
6. If he had been a dog that howled thus, they would have hanged him.

Welcome, ethiercn, to the wonderful world of madness.

Damn, wrong again, that's a song intro.

Welcome to the site.

Hello Cyan, I tend to like whatever I happen to be reading, like if I haven't read a Watch book for a long time it's great to be back in that world again, and same with the Witch books etc.
