The Mended Drum should serve as a welcoming home to any and all who remember Sir Terry Prachett (#gnuterrypratchett). Denizens of alt.fan.pratchett, alt.talk.mendeddrum and irc.lspace.org are especially welcome.
If this sounds like garbish to you, I congratulate you on your youth and wish you a very warm welcome if you like the writings of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams, Charles Stross, Diane Duane, and more.
The Drum aims to be a friendly place. Should you come across content which does not belong here, do not hesitate to ask for moderation.

The Mended Drum is a voluntary undertaking. To be financially able to continue running it, and to show your appreciation, I have set up an OpenCollective page for it
