*taps on shoulder* Hello! I just read the first chapter of your Discworld fic and I ADORE IT SO MUCH DEAR GODS IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT AND THE VOICE IS AMAZING AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE REST. I just wanted to ask when the story takes place in the timeline–specifically, whether or not it’s after Raising Steam? Thank you for all your tremendous stories and their sheer awesomeness. (also: ‘resentfully icily proper’ is my new favorite phrase)

Hey there – I am THRILLED you enjoyed it! I was very apprehensive about combining two of my most favourite worlds in the entirety of fiction, and it’s so good to hear that you feel I succeeded! Sir Pterry’s tone is especially difficult to match, he has such a recognisable style!!

Ah yeah, this definitely takes place AFTER Raising Steam. And as I have only just finished The Shepherd’s Crown, it will probably incorporate new concepts from that book too.

(The afterword of The Shepherd’s Crown made me cry like a fountain, ngl.)

Heheheheheh, I’m glad you liked that phrase! Sooooo proper – and so chilly. 😀
