This is just stolen from a Terry Prachett Novel.
And I would have not read it if it was not "stolen".
Then credit the author. That way people who enjoy it can know where it came from and may wind up reading his books.
So, yes. It was "stolen" as in plagiarized, since it does not provide appropriate credit.
"Plagiarism is cool and everyone should do it."
-King Louis XIV
Then credit the author.
The author was plagiarized by copying the genes of two parents. Credit the parents.
That way people who enjoy it can know where the author came from and may wind up reading his parents books.
Which one? I've been meaning to give his stuff a shot. Something like this sounds like a fun place to start
Carpe Jugulum has vampires who 'reform' and integrate into society (but I won't spoil anything else)
I'd start with either The Watch, or The Witches. Both are great, I'd avoid The Unseen University initially, his writing gets significantly better so the early books are harder to read.
The Watch subseries mentions vampires quite a lot, and is a really good read. IIRC, the fifth elephant and thud! Have them as more than just ‘extras’ and names mentioned.
While you can pick up most any discworld book as a first one, and have a good time, a lot of people recommend reading at least the sub series in order, the watch series starts with Guards! Guards! And is really enjoyable all the way through, and a great place to start your discworld journey.
Replied to wrong comment
I think it might be https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Truth_(novel)
It was somerhing with the https://wiki.lspace.org/Ankh-Morpork_League_of_Temperance
I see Terry Pratchett, I upvote! GNU
Come on man. Bury the hatchet, with Terry Pratchet.
Don't let them in! It's a trick!
Nah I'm in if ageless isn't false too.
Just not immortal, 'cuz the Sun sure isn't.
But the sun hurts vampires, wouldn't they be happier without it? At least until everything else dies and they starve.
Hahahaha jokes on everyone else, the sun already burns my when I step outside.
Happy little popsicles
That's what he meant there will be a sun death and it would be horrifying to still be forced to be alive
Yeah I'm not into hanging out inside a Red Giant/White Dwarf/Black Dwarf/Floating for trillions of years watching Heat Death personally.
No worries for that. The sun will come and visit them in person before it goes.
you wanna be here forever?
Certainly not, but at least as long as humans are still around.
that's what I meant, i doubt I'd want to be alive even for a few centuries, one will be much more than enough
I'd rather live as long as possible, the idea doesn't seem to bother me oddly enough. I've thought it through and still think I'd prefer extended life lifespan. I could elaborate, but people don't generally like hearing my views on such things so I'm not going to.
That said, I think your opinion is the most common that I've heard, and it's understandable.
ok well I guess good luck on your quest of becoming a vampire
Nice try globalists
