Description Well. This is when I blew up Terry Pratchett at Nullus Anxietas III (the Australian Discworld Convention). Not the best photo, but I was working with an unfamiliar camera. As a member of the Alchemists Guild, it was my duty to blow up people. So, I blew up the most notable person I could.

How did this happen? Well, it sounds silly but I went over to him and asked politely if I could and he went "You want to blow me up? Okay." So... yeah. Good times.

That is *awesome*

I tried to kidnap him at worldcon once, but my friend and I had no idea what to do with him afterward so we let him go...

I would *love* to go to a discworld convention someday.

This guy is a superlegend!! He's accumulated this phenomenal mythology, with a human depth to it, which will outlive our era. Was that a bit morbid... 'Kaboom!!!'

Yeah, it's a long way to go, even from New Zealand. Worth it though.

Hahah! Just brilliant Now I get it.
This is so typical Terry Pratchett "You want to blow me up? okay." I would love to meet him. I'll really have to go to one of the Discworld conventions in England. Need to save some money for the flight.

zaphod-beeblebroxie In reply to artsytarts [2011-04-17 00:30:34 +0000 UTC]

Definitely should. It's so worth it just to meet other Discworld fans, even if you don't meet the man himself. And he was very cool about being blown up

MultifandomMan12 [2011-04-16 13:06:52 +0000 UTC]

If only I was there.... I live in the Philippines, so I think a flight to Australia is only an hour or two....

Plus it's summer where I live....

Yeah, I figured the same thing, living in NZ. Aus isn't too far away, so might as well go.
