According to Pratchett's assistant Rob Wilkins, Pratchett left "an awful lot" of unfinished writing, "10titles I know of and fragments from many other bits and pieces." [51] Pratchett had mentioned two new texts, Scouting for Trolls [52] and a Discworld novel following a new character. [53] The notes left behind outline ideas about "how the old folk of the Twilight Canyons solve the mystery of a missing treasure and defeat the rise of a Dark Lord despite their failing memories"; "the secret of the crystal cave and the carnivorous plants in the Dark Incontinent", about Constable Feeney of the Watch, first introduced in Snuff, involving how he "solves a whodunnit among the congenitally decent and honest goblins"; and a second book about Amazing Maurice from The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents.

Writing about a comic novelist is dangerous. Try to be funny and you risk unflattering comparisons. Wilkins waffles on a bit, and his jokes are sometimes effortful, but crucially he understands the difference between humour and wit. In Pratchett’s words, humour “needs deep soil. You can grow wit on a damp flannel.” The responsibility of documenting his life when I lived so much of it with him has been such an emotive experience. A Life With Footnotes is a book that I hope would have made Terry proud,” said Wilkins.
