Sir Terry Pratchett in conversation: Virtual WCF 2013

The Oxford hall is crammed for Terry Pratchett's talk; the reverential quiet makes it feel more like a cathedral than a convention room. Into the silence, Pratchett cries, "Hello!" and the audience roars back "Hello!" in joy and applause. As soon as he's introduced, the applause bursts out again. This convention is full of authors that are admired, swooned over, celebrated, but right now, the mood is pure love.
