TERRY PRATCHETT IS DEAD.

– JAK SIĘ NA­ZYWA TO UCZU­CIE W GŁOWIE, UCZU­CIE TĘSKNE­GO ŻALU, ŻE RZECZY SĄ TA­KIE, JA­KIE NAJ­WY­RAŹNIEJ SĄ?
– Chy­ba smu­tek, pa­nie. A teraz...
– JES­TEM ZASMUTKOWANY.

I'm sorry about the quote being in Polish but it means more in Polish

“No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away...”

I'm still unable to express my feelings, although I'm sure there is a meaning of Arghh! that encapsulates them perfectly so here are other people's thoughts and tributes:

Neil Gaiman, John Scalzi, Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, Cory Doctorow on BoingBoing, Telegraph, io9, The Mary Sue, Wired, New Scientist, quotes from the books on Buzzfeed and tor.com - both the obituary and Jo Walton's reminiscence. All the guardian stuff including the main post, tributes, photos, obituary and Andrew Brown's reminiscence. Independent mentions his sword (that he made - from meteorite - after knighted because, obviously, knights should have swords).

Here is the link to the donation campaign in his name for The Research Institute for the Care of Older People.
