[ OT ] I 'd like to take a moment to appreciate Sir Terry Pratchett .

I just finished Raising Steam last night. I honestly do n't know what to say. He was my idol. I wanted and still want to be like him. Not for the fame or fortune but because he could imagine an entire complex and beautiful world so rich and real you can almost touch it and *he could get it out of his head and on to the page so others could experience it the exact same way he did. * 
 
 I just did n't think this would happen, he was one of those people who you just expect to be there forever. 
 
 No more Discworld. There will always be Discworld, and his other works, but no *more* of it. And that is even sadder than I thought it would be. 
 
 RIP Sir Terry Pratchett
