Announcement: Sir Terry's thousands of fans on Twitter were alerted to the news of his death by a series of messages, finishing with: 'The End'. The character of 'death' always speaks in capitals in the Discworld series

A great writer
he will be missed

R.I.P

I found one of his stories done on YouTube

But who wrote the tweets?? That's creeped me right out.

Very sad, as was his condition (he had alzheimer's disease) and really quite young. I read quite a few Discworld books in my tweens, also loved the first two PC games. The man had an incredible imagination; makes me wonder if his condition was, then, a sort of sad irony... Or if the quirks of his mind that allowed him such imagination were the same ones that eventually resulted in illness? Who knows. Still very sad though, such an awful disease.

Never heard of him before yesterday.
