if you are from cork i heard that this year there is going to be a discworld convention i think??

ooh, thanks for the heads-up!! I actually went to that con in 2017 and had an amazing time, but I kind of fell out of touch with the convention scene after my college graduation/covid and had no idea it was on again this year. I might see if there are still memberships available for this one :3

(my highlight of idwcon 2017 was meeting stephen briggs, longtime creator of discworld theatre adaptations and audiobooks, and pterry's visual inspiration for lord vetinari. he autographed my DVD of going postal and gave me this badge completely unprompted 😭✨ he's a total sweetheart)

"Of all the dead authors in the world, Terry Pratchett is the most alive" - John Lloyd An emotional read from his PA and closest friend Rob Wilkins, Terry Pratchett: A Life in Footnotes fulfils one of many ambitions poor Terry never got to see out: writing his autobiography. Reading about my favourite author - who celebrated his knighthood for services to literature by forging his own sword, a fact encapsulating the entire reason I emulate him in all my fiction to this day - was as poignant and as much of a pleasure as reading one of his books. Terry would have been proud of Rob for rounding off his life and career with this excellent volume. Frog pills accompanying the book were acquired from one of the excellent @idwcon events, notebook was made by myself and is currently on sale on my Etsy shop @bluenightfyre and miscellaneous green thing hails from a gift shop at Kew Gardens, courtesy of my sister. . . . . . #terrypratchett #alifewithfootnotes #bookreviews #biography #comicfantasy #discworld #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #books #writinginspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl5yC70NHbq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A few years ago, at the Irish Discworld Convention, the attendees got together to recreate the cover of Night Watch with whatever cosplay they happened to have on-hand.

Very gutted I can't make IDWCon this year, and v jealous of the folk who got tickets - if I'd known it would sell out so fast I'd have snagged one soon as they went on sale

Today I am mostly girding my loins to get out into town and buy the last things for @IDWCon.

Clothes specially picked to help.

@lucyravenscar‘s patterns are, as always, amazingly good for tiny convention gifts.

A mermaid to start my #IDWCON travel journal. I'm so happy to have a waterproof ink in my lamy joy fountain pen! Now I can combine it with watercolours. Sketched in watercolour pencil, inked it and went over it with watercolours. #inktober #sketchbook #traveljournal #mermaid #ball #super5darmstadt #lamyjoy #fountainpen #watercolour #watercolor #aquarel #ink
