The Annotated Pratchett File
7a.5
Terry Pratchett's work is chock-full of
references, allusions, parodies and in-jokes. Readers from all over the
world have collected more than 1500 of such annotations in a huge
document called the Annotated Pratchett File (or
APF). The L-Space Web provides you with an
on-line version of the APF, but the APF also
be downloaded as a normal text file from the
Pratchett Archives.
The Pratchett Quote File
5.1
The Pratchett Quote File (or
PQF) is a collection of one-liners, catchphrases, general
quotes, pieces of dialogue, and running gags, all culled from Terry
Pratchett's novels and other writings. It also contains a selection of
quotes from his articles to alt.fan.pratchett, which are to the best of my
knowledge not available anywhere else. The PQF can also be downloaded as a
text file from the Terry Pratchett
Archives.
Bibliographic
Information
This section is based on some of the material
in the Terry Pratchett
Bibliography, formatted in such a way as to fit into the structure of
the APF and the PQF. The information listed also contains the cover blurbs
for each of the books.
The Discworld
Timeline
In what year was Cohen the Barbarian born? When
did Small Gods occur? Attempts to answer these, and other, questions
finally culminated in The
Discworld Timeline - an ongoing project to define exactly what
happened and when.
Postmodern Parody in the
Discworld Novels of Terry Pratchett
This is a dissertation
Chris Bryant (University of Plymouth) wrote as part of his English degree.
The thesis is also available as MS-Word or text file from the
Terry Pratchett Archives.
The Discworld Who's
Who
A work-in-progress (well, more of a
work-that-has-never-been-finished, frankly), this is a collection of
descriptions and images for Terry's characters, by Robert Collier.
Death Lists
Lists of
all the characters who have died on the Discworld. The point is to enjoy
and marvel at this labour of love, not to ask annoying questions such as
"Why?".
