little used fantasy trope i love: when two people are playing cards in a shady bar and it's the tense moment where they show their hand but it's a fantasy so they can't say things like "full house" or "royal flush" so they same some nonsense like "three crowns and a dead crow" and the crowd is like "oooOOHH" so we know that's good

you know what actually pisses me off? when I finally start to feel a smidge of confidence in my writing ability and then some JERK POSTS A SINGLE LINE FROM A TERRY PRATCHETT NOVEL AND IT’S BETTER THAN ANYTHING I WILL EVER WRITE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILLENNIA I SPEND TRYING!

This I choose to do. If there is a price, this I choose to pay. If it is my death, then I choose to die. Where this takes me, there I choose to go. I choose. This I choose to do.

Not quite filk, but have you heard of Steeleye Span's album "Wintersmith"? It's basically just songs about Terry Pratchett's book Wintersmith (and some about his Tiffany books in general), and it's great! Just thought it's something that might be interesting to some people who follow this blog lol

Yes!! It’s a terrific album, and we love it. 

You can listen to the whole thing on YouTube

““Walter Plinge said: “You know she asked me a very silly question Mrs Ogg! It was a silly question any fool knows the answer!” “Oh, yes,” said Nanny. “About houses on fire, I expect…” “Yes! What would I take out of our house if it was on fire!” “I expect you were a good boy and said you’d take your mum,” said Nanny. “No! My mum would take herself!” “What would you take out then, Walter?” Nanny said. “The fire!””
