Discworld zine discussion

[holli]

I've talked to a bunch of fanartists on tumblr, and several have expressed interest in making Discworld fanart or comics. Now we need to figure out some text. What do we want this zine to contain? Does anyone have meta they're burning to write, or crafty Discworld projects they want to create instructions for, or the lyrics to "A Wizard's Staff had a Knob on the End"?

Also, this thing needs a title. How does "The Turtle Moves" sound?

I like that title very much.

I'm not sure what sort of content, I wish I could think up something Pteppic-related

[holli]

Hm. Maybe something about the imagery Pterry uses in Pyramids-- the mummy-pyramid that pushed Pteppic up to the top of the pyramid to kill it, the ourobouros on Dios' staff, stuff like that? There are a lot of really striking visuals in that book.

[crantz]

Good idea!

Now I'm wondering about other things. I liked how it had a Doctor Who ref and it was basically about time too.

[holli]

I think there's a lot you could say about that!

[crantz]

this calls for rereading Pyramids

Thanks! I don't have a devart account, but if i can find alternate contact info for some of those artists I will try and get in touch with them.

Just checking on Discworld sub
