Hmm. Well, I can promise you the first part, at least. And a part truth or half-truth is better than no truth at all, right?

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?

Casanova was Roundworld's greatest lover. Casanunda is the Discworld's second greatest lover. I guess I'm a bit of a mediocre lover, so I thought Casaninbetween fit like a wahooney in a paperbasket.

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)

There has been some confusion about this, on and off, concerning me as well. I am, by the current definition, male.

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

I have the mind of a twelve-year-old (I hope I never meet him, in case he starts to claim it), but am 25 in the chronological sense. I am born and raised in Sweden, which is also where I currently reside.

4) Have you seen any Discworld movies, did you like them and do you have faith in future productions being good, better or worse than current ones?

No, just a few youtube clips, as well as some episodes of Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters on the telly.They were OK I guess, but not super. I'd like, for example, to see some great special effects. I have faith in future productions being better, since Pratchett interest seems to be on the increase, making the demand for good movies stronger and giving the big movie makers an incentive to make films based on his work.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

I was sitting in an armchair in my cousin's room, when I started to get bored and picked up a book from his floor at random and started to flip through it. It was Wyrd Sister; I was sold after ten seconds.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It's not from Pratchett, but it's damn good.

Although actually, Terry has noted that he also believes following this rule to be a good idea.

Welcome!

Welcome Casaninbetween, you sound just like the type of loony, errr, I mean sensibly balanced type of person who should feel right at home here.


I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.

Hi, i'm new to the forum but not in any way, shape or form new to
Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?

It's my Livejournal name and the 'pacer' part is part of the online usernames
that i use in the Transformers fandom, and on fanfiction net.

2) Are you male or female?

I'm a female.

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

I'm not newly hatched and i'm not wrinkly: 31
Location: Scandinavia, Sweden to be specific.

4) Have you seen any Discworld movies, did you like them and
do you have faith in future productions being good, better or
worse than current ones?

I've seen Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music and i loved them!
I think future productions of more Discworld movies will be good
and possibly even better.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

I read the children's books as a kid and as a teen i discovered the
Discworld books as well.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?

I have a few general quotes i like to use not really any daily ones.
"Carpe diem" "Seize the day" is one of them.
