** Creator/NeilGaiman's foreword in "A Stroke of the Pen" mentions that Sir Terry once showed him part of a story involving Rincewind's mother, as well as a segment cut from ''Literature/MovingPictures'' involving a "Dunnikin Diver" (a subset of plumber introduced in ''Literature/{{Pyramids}}'').

* DiedDuringProduction: With Creator/TerryPratchett's death, the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series' last book is the last one that Pratchett wrote: the Tiffany Aching book ''The Shepherd's Crown'', which was published posthumously in August 2015. His daughter, Rhianna Pratchett, has said that she will be the "caretaker" of Discworld, but won't write any books.
** Enforced by one of the stipulations of Pratchett's will: that the hard drive with all his unfinished work and notes be destroyed. And it was -- with a steamroller.
* HypotheticalCasting: In Website/{{Usenet}} discussion, Creator/TerryPratchett suggested Creator/PetePostlethwaite as his conception of Sir Sam Vimes and Creator/JamesSpader for Havelock Vetinari. He also reportedly specified "the bad guy from ''Film/DieHard''" (Creator/AlanRickman) for the role of Vetinari.

** ''Raising Taxes'' -- at the end of ''Making Money'' Vetinari and Drumknott have a brief conversation about the need for reform of Ankh-Morpork's archaic tax system and Moist von Lipwig is mooted as a possible architect. The title was mentioned by Sir Terry during promotional tours for ''Making Money'' but the book appears to have been radically reworked into ''Raising Steam'' instead.
** ''Running Water'' -- mentioned once by Terry at a book festival as a potential book featuring Moist von Lipwig getting into either the logging industry, the canal industry or the piped water supply industry depending on which rumour is correct.

* UnfinishedEpisode: Creator/TerryPratchett had a number of ideas and unfinished works before he died. Barring Creator/RhiannaPratchett changing her mind and writing/completing these, or permitting someone else to do so, they will forever remain What Could Have Been titles. According to his assistant Rob, there were ''ten'' unfinished novels in Terry's archives, which could have included other ''Discworld'' novels. Alas, [[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-dorset-41093066 they all got steamrolled.]]

* BuryYourArt: The hard drive with all of the unfinished notes and manuscripts for future books in the series was crushed with a steamroller after Pratchett's death, to prevent anyone from trying to finish up his work and release it after his death.
