So, according to multiple comments by Jim, Harry had 3 choices or 'paths' in Changes: become Mab's Winter Knight, perform the Darkhallow or pick up Lasciel's coin. Obviously in our timeline Harry became the WK but it got me thinking: if Harry had picked up Lasciel’s Coin in Changes, what would his Battle Form be like? The obvious answer is like Hannah’s Battle Form. But, at least for me, that’s kinda… weird. I have a hard time picturing Harry transforming into something like that. But it...

Hey! I just finished rereading the Denarian series and it's left me with a serious hunger for more decently written crossovers. I've read the one by Ryuugi but other than that I haven't touched the Dresden Files in quite a few years. I stopped right before Skin Game and stopped looking for fanfiction even earlier so anything that has come out in the past half a decade or so is probably new to me. Also interested in just Dresden Files stories, especially ones that may feature the Knights of...

Thinking about how I would create a HP/Dresden Files fusion (not crossover). The Wizarding World There are around 15,000 wizards in the world, with an average life expectancy of 450 years. Globally, around 30 wizards are born a year, of which around half attend Hogwarts, the only formal school of magic in the world. Those who do not attend Hogwarts will learn magic in a master-apprentice relationship. The wizarding world is ruled by the White Council, which is more or less as it is in...

Alright. The survey technically has another day before it's done, but the results thus far more or less speak for themselves. DLP wants action-driven fics with a focus on character first and foremost. The question we must ask ourselves, then, is how do we best get a fuckton of glorious fics featuring just that into WBA as promptly as possible? Well, there's a saying about if you want something done right. I simply propose all of those who are interested in writing Dresden Files fics, or in...

What with the Make DLP Great Again Thread going I was thinking about how one might reignite some of the interest in the fandom besides the arrival of Peace Talks. Things like Thank God You're Here and Motel Randevouz got things going for a while back in the day, but have since died down. So... To get things going, I'd like to do some sort of writing competition or event but before embarking on any such thing, I thought I'd check what kind of fics people actually want to read. Go ahead with...

So new short story out, I've only read feviews and spoiler since I doubt I will buy it untill it comes bundled, but it sounds pretty good and gives a lot of world building on the winter court. Anyone got it?

Welcome to Grave Peril. I've been looking forward to this one. I think we'll be seeing more clues to the overall nemesis plot of the story here as well so keep your eyes peeled. The following is an Excerpt from Jim's site, so if you haven't read this one yet, buckle up. Harry Dresden’s faced some pretty terrifying foes during his career. Giant scorpions. Oversexed vampires. Psychotic werewolves. It comes with the territory when you’re the only professional wizard in...

This morning we will begin reading Fool Moon, book 2 in The Dresden Files. Please keep in mind the grand scheme Jim has laid out for us, and trust no one....not even Listens-to-wind apparently. Today is the first out of ten days allotted to Fool Moon. I'm going the audio-book route for now, because I'm at work so James Marsters is reading me the book.

Welcome to the First probably book club for The Dresden Files on the Dark Lord Potter Forums. Please use this thread to discuss Storm Front. Again I want to thank you all for taking the time to try and read the whole series in just a few short months. This is going to be epic.

In a book club everyone reads the same book, and then comes together to discuss. If Peace Talks is going to come out this year, which I'm kinda doubting it will... I'd like to be fresh on my Dresden facts and details. I'll be reading at least 3 books a month, starting in August. If you'd like to dial it down to 2 books, I'm sure you know enough to still be able to participate in the discussion on the third book as well. Participants: Josh Erotic Adventures of S 9th Doctor Zeelthor...

Edit: Please feel free to ask any questions you have. The previous question thread just got too old. I started reading the books again for the third time through on a road trip. In Proven Guilty Harry is trying to use Little Chicago. The second time he tries in the book, when Lash is against him using it... Bob lets harry know at some point that Little Chicago was broken, and (a transition coupling in the power flow) someone fixed it. Who fixed it? Lash? Was it mentioned at all? I...

So... This was released to the funders of a Kickstarter for a Dresden Files CCG. If you weren't one of those lucky folks... uh, it's not *that* hard to find. Anyhoo, I'm just wondering if anyone else has read it yet and what their thoughts were. [spoiler] EDIT: So, it has been brought to my attention that 'not that hard to find' is a load of bullshit, and it is, in fact, rather hard to find. As such, please PM me if you are looking for it.

The Dresden Files fandom has gotten a little stale. That is understandable but in no way excusable. We only have a handful of great authors writing Dresden content. The real shame is I can count on one hand the well written multi- chapter works. While smut and oneshot are always nice, I am sending out a call of sustenance. We need more multi-chapter plot based works. Here are several plot based prompts I'm throwing out there as a challenge and/or request. Plot 1- Orphaned at 6 and cast...

Okay, before you guys start posting, I have to say that I have no clue about what Dresden Files is about, where it takes place etc. etc. My knowledge about the series (And yes, I do know it's a series) is limited to knowing it's about this character named Harry Dresden and the setting is apparently modern. That is where my admittedly very short amassed knowledge about DF ends. So, opinions about where I should start and whether I should start.

I really wanted to like The Dresden Files, I really did. If for no other reason than to access the various crossover fics there are. But the series just isn't clicking for me so far. The first book wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I would say just below average. It also did quite a bad job of explaining things, it felt like I'd started in the middle of the series than the beginning of it (I checked, I hadn't). I have barely any idea who the White Council is, what they do and if normal...

So sum assholez were all 'Oh, hey Vlad, check out all the Dresden/Molly you missed in the past years.' And they linked, and I read. And there... was not enough. Never enough. So here's the basic idea. I'm treating this more as a plot bunny for now because it's been so long since I've read the heart of the series that my head-space continuity is fucked. Serious refresh of canon is required. Just want to get a feel for the basic idea. So throw out any thoughts or ideas. ANY AT ALL. Harry...

See above. Are we talking bloodlines for how wizards get around, or can anyone get into the whole magic business and start running around with a stave?

So browsing Jims forum today I see he has had another short story published that I had no idea about. Amazon link About to buy eBook of it. Already got spoilers from his forum.

Well, technically, I read Storm Front and Fool Moon last year, but then my interest waned. From what I've gathered around the interwebz, the first two books are among the less impressive ones, though outside of generalizations opinions vary, as opinions do. DF is a big part of DLP and I decided to try it again to see just what this thing is about. I'm even willing to push myself through it a bit. Not everything I've ever liked was love at first sight. As I posted in the TOMD thread,...

I thought it might be interesting to speculate who we think it on the councils. Now really this is about the Grey and Black, but I added White for people like the Merlin, who I think are not part of either, pretty much good, but not willing to do anything against the WC. Black Council * Cowl, Kimori (Who I think is Justin) * Peabody (dead) * Some Denarian * ErlKing or someone high in his court (Wolf pelts given to FBI) * Dead members of the Red Court * Marva * Maybe White King...

Okay so I’m going to try and get back into writing fanfiction for the first time in like three or four years, and I have an idea… At the end of Blood Rites Lord Raith murders Thomas and succeeds in casting the ritual entropy curse the Malocchio at Harry Dresden, killing him. This does not free the white king from the Margaret LeFay’s binding the ability to feed his Hunger, for the obvious reason that Susan Rodriguez has a one year old bundle of evil who is a living direct blood...

I was reading Shezza's Denarian series (I really really hope it'll be continued). There so much to love about it, and for some reason my brain got fixated on the Fallen Angel Somewhat Forgiven by God concept. It's probably a cliche, but I'm having trouble recalling/finding any good fics with that element. Any fandom works (or even novels lol). Thanks!

A new series was announced called Dresden Files: Down Town. Molly is nice and Gard is even better. Marcone is mediocre and Mouse escaped from Disney animation. ;)

Figured I'd put this one up, both for discussion of possible stories and suggestions. Go for it, fellas! I'll get us started. Dresden and Babiel on some wacky adventures. What's being done is less important, I'd just like to see someone's take on their interaction.

For when people get the first books. You know the drill.

Jim Butcher is doing an AMA on Reddit on May 16th @ 1pm. The "speculations" thread made me remember to post this. Maybe we'll have some solid/interesting questions that one (or more) of us can manage to get in and ask.

I don't know if we have a general speculation thread. If we do sorry I'm not even sorry. I'm rereading the series. Well more like listening to the audiobooks for the first time and fucking James Marsters man. Just bow. Dude is phenomenal. I actually understood why the mantle went to Molly now. Hearing it makes a lot more sense and the foreshadowing has been laid out since Grave Peril. There's so many hints and clues and hanging plots that I'm just like damn I wish Dresden would sit down...

I know people have talked about this in other threads, mainly the one on Cold Days. But I wanted to see how others ranked the DF books and why. Best to Worst 1) Turn Coat 9.5/10, Great character, dialog, comedy, epic fight, massive reveal and where the story really ramps things up. 2) Dead Beat, 9/10, Harry again really shows his shit, great clever plot and plan, good character and some great lines. 3) Changes, 8.75/10, Character growth!

1. Is Sarrisa more loyal to Mab or to Titania now that she is the new summer lady? 2.
