I'm on my cell so I can't see the hover or description but in general this is appropriate in my life right now.

My father is a big Terry Pratchett fan, and we've got a lot of books at home! I knew this free item would be a tribute to him! And the background it gives it just beautiful! :)
RIP Terry Pratchett

I loved his sense of humour, and I actually only read his books because my Mum had them. I was surprised to hear about his death because I don't think he was that old (60's, maybe?) and I thought that what he had couldn't kill you, it just made you lose your memory. I heard he wasn't in the middle of writing a book when it happened so I suppose that's good. I think my Mum must be really affected by it, though. I'm glad Subeta does these items not just for actors and musicians but also writers as well.

I was wondering what the tribute item would be - an hourglass is perfect.
You will be missed, Sir Terry Pratchett. Rest in peace.

Terry Pratchett is definitely one of my favourite authors.
It is a terrible loss to the world now that he is gone.
I suppose there is comfort to know that, with his health problems over the years, at least the pain is over. Finally he is free, and he can join all the other legends that we've lost in the last year in that better place.
Rest In Peace, Sir Terry Pratchett!

Easily my favorite author. Possibly the only time I've cried when hearing a famous person died. Perfect tribute too.

i heard about this earlier so i knew exactly who this was for; despite having never read a lot of his work, i always saw his books around and have always meant to get into them so in a way they were sorta present throughout my childhood anyway? if that makes sense? so yeah, to hear about his passing was very very sad.
also a beautiful, lovely item, thanks subeta. c:

Rest in peace, Terry Prattchett.
I'd read all of his Discworld books and always found it rather...admirable...in a way, how he just continued to write despite his ailing physical and mental health. Thank you for this item, Subeta.
For those of you who do not get the reference...the Dark Desert is a place referenced in several of Prattchett's Discworld books. It is where many souls go after they die and they have to traverse it, alone, to get to their desired afterlife.
Also, there were the final, posthumous tweets on Prattchett's Twitter account, which announced his demise:
"AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER."
"Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night."
"The End."

I have such fond memories of playing the Discworld game back then with my BF. He had such a great humor in his books. He'll be missed.

I put down "The Truth" before I went to sleep last night and woke up to this news. Devastated. I'm glad he went peacefully, and that he left so many amazing stories behind.

I didn't know this was a tribute item and have no clue what it's about, but it's a nice background. Just wish I could see the details in it, as it looks mostly black on my computer. Thanks.

Discworld is one of the coolest place I've ever been. Thank you sir Pratchett for taking me there.
I have this inside joke with my friend (and any other fan who gets the reference) about how dangerous libraries are.

What a beautiful tribute item. I must admit, I only just learned about Terry Pratchett recently, but his books seem very interesting. I should go look up his books sometime.

I ashamed to admit I was not familiar with this person. Maybe I know some of his works. I need to Google him. Thanks to Subeta for once again giving us something to remember someone else's passing. It is so kind to do tributes.

My Boyfriend and I wee just talking about Sir Pratchett's work this Wednesday and then he left us yesterday. I've now vowed to read his books, since I never got the chance when I was younger.

I honestly hadn't expected this, it makes me so impossibly happy that it happened. The artist did an amazing job on this one, I'll treasure it. And for those that are just finding out about sir Pratchett, you have such wonders, such laughter and yes, so many tears and thoughts ahead of you, I am a little envious. Check out 'Mark Reads' for his discworld books, or just go forth and find them at the bookstore.

What a gorgeous backdrop.
I'm afraid I don't know who Terry Pratchett is, but may he rest in peace.
I'll have to see about finding some of the books he wrote for sure.

Thank you for this, I was so sad to hear this yesterday, I went to one of his book signings, and when he asked who it was for, I stupidly said 'me' he just looked at me and gave a big sigh lol. I think he must have slept in that hat.
