Hmm... so maybe my tendency to write fanfiction doesn't necessarily mean I won't be able to write original stories.
Love PTerry!

The funny thing is that Tolkien was always uncomfortable with the always chaotic evil orcs and trolls because he was very much disturbed by racial stereotyping going on at the time (and we all know how badly that racism turned out back in the 30s and 40s).
It's cool that Pratchett had what sounds like my exact job, with my exact benefits of ignoring overdue fees.
