Work in Progress, Discworld fic "Recursive Herbology"

[jack]

It's annoying, after playing around with Saldini II for ages, I wrote 5000 words of this last night. I think it's because:

(1) PTerry's characters are better than mine, so easier to write with.
(2) Aiming for something short quickly written means I can just get on with it without pressure to make it *right*, which works better.

Basic plot: a mysterious and cryptic murder of the professer of Recursive Herbology[1] in the unseen university sends Ridcully to Vimes for help, where he interrupts a thieves guild protection expiry riot. ∃ female wizard.

If you want to see, there's a link here: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~jv233/fic/recursiveherbology005a.htm

I'm afraid: (1) I don't know if I'll finish it, so I decided to share what I had. If you like finsihed things, please ignore it. (2) It's in MSWord html. Sorry, I couldn't be bothered to do it properly.

PS. It's compeltely unrelated to the last story http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~jv233/fic/graveyardshift_beta_1.php, but that's probably better, so it might be best to read it first.

Update: fixed dodgy html

I know, but it might help someone else.

In fact, what I should do is write a script that converts from rtf to html automatically, then I can just upload the rtf.
