Unseen academicals and Scouting for trolls

[The_Discworldaholic]

Dont know if Terry reads this but im hoping someone who has direct contact has, the thing is how theyre comming along and the Tiff book and dare i say it, are you going to write the book based on the aurthrian style short story. Please please please let me sorry US know i know were all dying to find out, im sure someone will back me up on this .......... wont they?

Dont forget Raising Taxes (the next Moist VL book) which I believe is the next one due,but I mat be wrong on that

I think (and hope) that Raising Taxes is somewhere in the dim future. I really don't much want another Moist von Lipwig book so soon after the other two.

The next Discworld book is the unseen university football one isn't it?

 

[The_Discworldaholic]

not sure its either that one or when it is midnight i shall wear black

 

[Catch-up]

I'm anxious for either one, even though I'm still enjoying Nation.

And, welcome Ezekiel!

Terry seems to be less forthcoming about what's coming next these days. Unseen Academicals was mentioned years ago. Sometimes (it seems) he comes up with a book that he feels has to take presidence over others - Nation and the first two Tiffany books for example. That's fine by me and let's hope he keeps getting those unwritten books popping into his head.

Welcome to the site Ezekiel000!

Terry Pratchett implied that he was working on Unseen Academicals yesterday on BBC morning news but work is slower than usual because of having lots of media interest in alzheimer's.

side note thanks for the welcome

i also heard that Unseen Academicals is now next and that - I shall wear Midnight is lurking in the background (Tiffany 4). Not sure what might emerge after that.
But what Terry is doing to promote more attention to Alzheimers research is wonderful.

HarperCollins recently interviewed Terry about Unseen Academicals. The video is available here.

Whatever the next book, I can't wait. I love the Tiffany books, but would be excited to see Unseen Academicals as well. I'm with Tony (?) that as much as I like the Moist books, I'd like to see something else first.

 

[Tiffany]

Hi, Imperfectlynormal. I am a big fan of the Tiffany books too.

 

[Dotsie]

Personally I would read Terry's shopping list if he published it, so I don't care what comes next!

 

[imperfectlynormal]

Well, yes, you do make a good point I will read whatever comes next and be excited about it beforehand.

One of my friends has a question - did Terry already start writing I Shall Wear Midnight?
I don´t know; have you any info ?

 

[Vena Ravenhaired]

I don't give a FourEcks which is next, I just wanna new one! (getting withdrawal symptoms!)

Cheers, Vena

No not as far as I know. He is busy working on Unseen Academicals when he can at the moment.
