If anyone hasn't heard, Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with early Alzheimer's Disease. He's keeping optimistic, and says he still isn't dead.
Many people on the alt.fan.pratchett newsgroup have been wondering if there's anything we, the fans, can do. One afper, Bruce Richardson, suggested the following:
Buy his books. Start threads on a.f.p that spin off on unpredictable
tangents. Wear Discworld costumes and/or industrial-strength corsetry
in his presence. Drink like the rugby club, fight like the chess club.
Don't treat him like an invalid. Be the same
slightly-worrying-but-unquestionably-benevolent group of crazies that
Discworld fans have always been. It really is the only help any of us
can be at the moment and he really will be grateful.
