Editing Terry Pratchett (section)

===Other writing===
Pratchett's first two adult novels, ''[[The Dark Side of the Sun]]'' (1976) and ''[[Strata (novel)|Strata]]'' (1981), were both science fiction, the latter taking place partly on a disc-shaped world. Subsequent to these, Pratchett mostly concentrated on his ''Discworld'' series and novels for children, with two exceptions: ''[[Good Omens]]'' (1990), a collaboration with [[Neil Gaiman]] (which was nominated for both Locus and World Fantasy Awards in 1991<ref name="WWE-1991">{{cite web |title=1991 Award Winners & Nominees |url=http://www.worldswithoutend.com/books_year_index.asp?year=1991 |access-date=29 June 2009 |work=Worlds Without End}}</ref>), a humorous story about the Apocalypse set on Earth, and ''[[Nation (novel)|Nation]]'' (2008), a book for young adults.

After writing ''Good Omens'' Pratchett brainstormed with [[Larry Niven]] on a story that became the short novel "[[Rainbow Mars]]". Niven eventually completed the story on his own, but he states in the afterword that a number of Pratchett's ideas remained in the finished version.

Pratchett wrote dialogue for a [[Video game modding|mod]] for the game ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'' (2006), which added a Nord companion named Vilja.
