Finished Equal Rites the other day (better than The Light Fantastic, but not by very much, if you ask me) and started on Lords and Ladies. Am far enough for Ponder to turn up, and I've got to say - his first line in there? Sparked necessity for a Discworld/EFC crossover. It's all about the geek speak. XD
And at the moment I've got a Harry Potter/Discworld crossover up in another window. It's truly brilliant. Scene changes are a little... abrupt, but if that's the only flaw I've found so far I must have hit a good one. Will post to foodless_diet once I've finished reading.
It looks like the parents and I are going to New Orleans over spring break. Coolness. (Even though catching up with the RPage afterward is gonna be bloody difficult. XD)

I think I liked The Light Fantastic better. But that may be because I read it quite early in my Discworld readathon, and was more "sparkly!" than "he's done better."

I definitely liked Lord and Ladies better. <3

Harry Potter/Discworld! Harry Potter is the white bread of crossovers, but Discworld is the alcohol. (So that makes . . . soggy bread? Never mind me.)

::shrugs:: Maybe one of these days I'll read it again. But I didn't care for it much, and it was early on in my reading too.
There was something on afrai's LJ, back when she was talking aobut the Discworld/Smallville thing she's trying to write... someone said Discworld and (insert another fandom wot I don't remember) are the Little Black Dress fandoms because they go with everything. And after the Heathen Gods drabble challenge, I think PotC qualifies for that too. XD
This one's a WIP. But it's just great. Truly inspired.

(I meant that more in the spirit of "I am not an Equal Rites fan" than "I recommend The Light Fantastic." There are better and sparklier Discbooks around to reread, after all. :)

Ooh! Good Omens, too. Aziraphale and Crowley can just wander into anything. It's quite handy, being an angel. Some of my beloved manga crosses over wonderfully, but the fic-writing fandom population is tiny.

Little black dresses. I'll have to remember that.

Definitely. Like Moving Pictures, or Soul Music, or Witches Abroad, or Hogfather... (I could keep going. But I think I'll stop.)
Between C&A and the Horsepersons, GO has all KINDS of crossover potential. Have used it once (well, twice if you include the pirate-drabbles) and am trying to use it again.

I had to add you to my friends list after reading this entry. Not only are you a Discworld devotee, you also read HP/DW crossovers.

Hope you don't mind.

Oh, and also: Equal Rites is probably my least favourite DW novel, after Thief of Time. I haven't read The Light Fantastic in a while, but I apart from the fact that i didn't much care for Rincewind until Interesting Times, I think I enjoyed it.

Hmm. Not a very interesting comment, but I can never refrain from voicing Discworld related opinions.

:)

New friends are coolness. As are Discworld/(just about any fandom) crossovers. One of these days I'll finish the Discworld/Good Omens crossover...
I liked Thief of Time - not as much as several others, but it wasn't so bad. The only Rincewind book I've really LIKED so far was Sourcery (have the last two to read yet). Most of the others I got through thanks to the Luggage being around, and in the case of TLF only barely.
Hey, Discworld opinions are good. More people should have them (which is why I always tell my friends to read the books).
