Pratchett Shorts

[Tonyblack]

The following are a few Pratchett short stories that Terry has authorised to be on the internet.

Theatre of Cruelty
A Collegiate Casting-Out of Devilish Devices

There are others out there, but please don't post them unless they are authorised by the erm... author.

What about Run, Rincewind, Run?

That's a film made by a group of Australian fans isn't it? I didn't think there was a short story about it.

They're called Snowgum Films and they've been working (for quite a few years now) on a film adaptation of Terry's short story, Troll Bridge.

Oh, sorry. When you said 'shorts', I thought you meant short films. My bad.

 

[Tonyblack]

No worries! I don't have a problem with talking about the short films here as well.

I love that ending of Run, Rincewind, Run!, where he confronts Terry. Doesn't he say "You bastard."?

 

[Tonyblack]

Yes indeed! I know those two people sitting next to Terry. That the real Sandra Battye (Nightwatch) and the real Undecided Adrian (Going Postal).

I bought some Disworld goodies in the dealers room, from Steven Dean he had a table full of Pratchett stuff, got a book Shivers for Christmas it has a short story in it by Pterry Twenty Pence with envelope and Seasonal Greeting. It was in Xmas edition Time Out mag in 87.

Well done, that's a rare one. Very odd story as well

 

[Tonyblack]

Talking of odd ones. I remember the first time I read 'Incubust'. I thought there was an error and the whole story hadn't been printed. Once you get the joke though it's very good.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Yes the one for the Drabble Project, the rules for that book was that every story had to be exactly 100 words. Considering the constraint, it's a good little story.

It would be great if I could reproduce the stories here for everyone to enjoy, but I suspect we'd be in a lot of trouble re copyright.

Some of these stories were, at one time, officially available online - The Sea and Little Fishes for example, but that sadly doesn't seem to be the case now. I actually download a bunch of them as Word documents when they were available and still have them. Which just goes to prove that you shouldn't assume that because something is online one day, that it will be there the next.
