Introduction:
This little piece of fan fiction was my entry in a Discworld Monthly contest that gave the participants the challenge to explain how they would assassinate the nigh-unkillable Achchancellor Mustrum Ridcully. I was fortunate enough to win this contest, and am quite proud of what I came up with. However Deviant Art does not appear to support PDF format (or maybe I just can't figure out how to get it to work), so I am afraid that in order to read this you will have to use the link I am providing below.

Backstory:
A while ago Discworld Monthly hosted a contest in honor of the release of the Hogfather movie. The contest was a sort of search for the next Jonathan Teatime, and gave the participants the challenge to explain how they would assassinate the nigh-unkillable Achchancellor Mustrum Ridcully. I was fortunate enough to win this contest, and am quite proud of what I came up with.
What we have here is a sort of short story that I wrote. It is in PDF format, and is about 1 1/2 Megs in size, so give it a little time to load. Aside from the story it contains a fair amount of image manipulation, from the cover art to the images throughout the text. I did not draw any of the images you see in it, but I did spend a lot of time Photshopping it together from found images. I hope you enjoy this, I received quite a lot of positive feedback about it, so I think you will.

Some people have expressed disappointment that they are not able to view the PDF (even with the link) So I am adding the indvidual pages to Deviant Art as images.
