Oh, I have a hardbound first US printing of "The Color of Magic"... I've been reading Pterry for a while...
I'd hesitate to put Doug there for a couple reasons. One, the major one, is that it's a live franchise, and will probably stay that way for years to come. I won't fic a live franchise for fear of damaging it. Since Pterry is lampooning all manner of genres and story types as he goes along, it's only a matter of time until he reaches superheroes. And I wouldn't want to accidentally abort that book just because a fic of mine raised sticky rights issues.
The second reason is that I think the Doug would either be seriously injured by the very nature of the Disc, or he'd like it so much he'd never leave...

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
