And I loved it!

More of the Moist/Adora relationship, another look into the civic institutions of A-M, And it even gave Slant and the Fools' Guild a bit of humanity.

(though if it really is an exploration of the tragic/philisophical elements of foolery or just a cynical attempt to justify the Guild's rote-learning cirriculum I don't know)

And is it just me, or did the Cabinet of Curiosity give anyone else a Michael Bay's TRANSFORMERS feel to it, ala the Allspark?

Therefore, and on the news that Moist has admitted his past malfeances and in a way set himself free, I'm going to begin planning to write his Abridged Autobiography in Fanfic form.

Title: "The Leopard Changed it's Shorts" (compaint lodged by the Ankh Morpork League of Decency for use of the word 'Shorts')

(prologue occurs after coming back from Ador's funeral where he very classily dissoved into a blubbering mess 3/4 of the way through.

Contents include:
-Early Life
-Years as con
-Getting "Bes-Palargic'ed" into the civil service
- Adora (with appropiately sappy description of the beautific look that she only had when asleep or when cradling their son when she thought he wasn't looking.)
-Going un-crooked
-The Seige of Ankh (The League petitioned to have the chapter's pages glued shut for reference to Miss Malacariat discovering Moist and his fiance engaged in... "Hanky-Panky" on the PostMaster's Desk during a city emergency)
-His wedding (with notes on annoying offical guests and knowing how to placate angry soon-to-be father's-in-law when you have the honeymoon three months early)
-Fatherhood and raising a son with two middle names.
-His Patrician-ship
-His retirement back to the post office after 20 years.
-An epilogue written in the week between his wife's death and it finally going to print at the age of 86.

He died the next evening after suffering a blowout of the aorta on his last mail-circuit and had to go back to his own bed as a temporary zombie operating on full manual. Is giving up the ghost in ones' own bed too much to ask?

I hope others like the book, and can council me on how to proceed on this fic... eventually.
