<blockquote>Carrot is named King. Of the Dwarfs. He doesn't want to be king. His nomination is really just a nasty case of Ambition and Politics on the part of some upstart dwarfs. Still, he needs to be very careful how he handles this. Accepting the throne means war. Rejecting...probably also means war. Help comes from an unexpected source when Cheery Littlebottom offers up a unique proposal. If these ambitious dwarfs want a king, then maybe they should be forced to accept a queen, as well. </blockquote>

<blockquote>"I was referring," said the man, "to the ongoing magical crisis that's threatening to destroy your entire world, and possibly several adjacent worlds as well. There is one, isn't there?" "I hope not!" said Leonard. An annoyed look flickered briefly across the man’s vague expression, and Leonard added apologetically, “You might inquire at the University? I’m afraid that I don’t get much news here." Rufus Drumknott has been in love with his employer for years, and he's sure that Lord Vetinari must know it. But it will take a visit from a couple of enchanters from another world, and a magical toddler running amok with one of Leonard of Quirm's flying machines, to get either of them to do anything about it . . .</blockquote>

<blockquote>While inventorying the books in his “new” shop, Aziraphale discovers a special shelf that’s not of this world. Discworld crossover!</blockquote>

<blockquote>A footnote about how a little girl named Alice became the princess of Clacks towers, made a friend whose face she never saw, invented the internet, learned mathematics from orcs, taught coding to rocket wizards and grew up to be the second best hacker on the Disc. Notes: This is a story about a minor character in Going Postal, a girl named Alice working on the Clacks towers. I thought it would be fun to expand on her story, and put her into contact with some of the settings and characters from Monstrous Regiment, Unseen Academicals, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, The Truth, Jingo, and various wizard-themed subplots.</blockquote>
