just doing a poll to satisfy my curiosity, has anyone ever received a letter or e-mail back from Terry Pratchett ? or should i just mind my own business? please discuss and vote. cheers
Shadowgirl, this a forum for polls and elections relating to the running and wellbeing of the site. You should have posted this in the boardania section, hopefully a mod will be along shortly to move this. I'm starting to think that we should rename this section... To answer your question, I don't know. I've never sent him an e-mail.
Umm .. just a request really. Why is this a poll? (Polls seem a little sensitive at the moment ) Seems like a normal question really, especially since the answers could be: 1. Yes 2. No 3. Haven't tried 4. Would love to try, but would need his email address To answer your question, I haven't tried. I believe the correct procedure is to email his agent though, I'm not sure it is possible to email him directly.
I agree, this doesn't need to be a poll; it doesn't have anything to do with people's opinions, which is what polls are generally for, and is more a questions fo facts. Anyway, I've never actually written to Mister Pratchett for anything, apart from to reply to an email he sent to us (Marcia and I) regarding our getting married. I think Rincewind told him about it?
If anyone is thinking of bothering him with anything other than good wishes at the moment, please look here
Posting this on behalf of Roman, who can see the boards but not post (he's using his mobile) [quote:7483200b17]Polls. I've been seeing many polls lately. So many polls, in fact, that they have begun getting on my nerves. Not everything requires a poll, as it has been already said. Please, everyone, try to limit the number of polls, and when you do post one please consider beforehand if the question requires a poll, as most don't. Thank you. Now, posting on topic, I've sent an email to Pratchett once. Looking back, I fear the email was rather foolishly written, so it's no surprise to me that it didn't recieve a reply.[/quote:7483200b17]
I don't know how to find his email! Besides, I would rather not bother him...I don't have anything substancial to say (or anything that a million other people haven't said.)
I've emailed him 3 times over the years, but not over the last 18 months or so. He has replied every time, perhaps because his email isn't too widely known. I once got a reply 20mins after sending it! I actually have 3 different email addresses for him. Theyre written down at home somewhere (hope they aren't lost!). Never sure which to use!
