![]() ![]() Mad dash to get to the next good bit before the other one could They would discuss the plot on the phone, and then it would be a They had divided the characters 2, 3 - Gaiman wrote the parts with the four Horsepersons (before they get to the air base, at which point Pratchett took over), and Pratchett wrote the parts with Agness Nutter's execution and Them (before they set for the air base, at which point Gaiman took over) - but by the end each had written some parts for each character. ![]() ![]() ![]() They state in the introduction to the book 5 that Gaiman had more influence on the beginning of the book, while Pratchett had more influence towards the end. He sent it to Pratchett (among other people), and the latter said he wanted to know how it ended, so he proposed Gaiman either sells him the idea of the book, or they write it together. Some time after, Gaiman had a short story (5000 words) 2, but he did not know how it ended. Gaiman met Pratchett during an interview - he claims he was the first person ever to do an interview with Terry Pratchett. Pratchett had only begun the Discworld cycle, and had only Colour of Magic published and The Light Fantastic about to be published. Gaiman hadn't written any novels at that time (okay, one novel - Don't Panic, a companion to H2G2). In fact, they make this point multiple times - in the introduction to the book and elsewhere - that they were not " the Terry Pratchett" and " the Neil Gaiman" 1. "two authors who are each well-known and have distinctive styles in their own right" - not according to them. ![]()
