And all I can say is...fuck. Just...fuck. It always seems so terribly tragic when something like this happens to a writer - like painters who go blind, or musicians who lose their hearing - like God is just fucking with you, trying to take away the most important thing you have. And - it's /TERRY PRATCHETT./ I worship the ground this man stands on. For someone who has spent so many years writing some of the most funny, absurd, brilliant, insightful, inspiring, /magical/ pieces of fiction I've ever read, who makes the world a most awesome place just by existing, to have this happen to him...well, it's fucked up. No one deserves it, but him certainly a lot less than most. I don't know. I kind of want to cry now.
So, to reiterate, FUCK.
