1. Is Sarrisa more loyal to Mab or to Titania now that she is the new summer lady? 2. Why Titania would accept Sarrisa as summer lady being the daughter of her deadly rival Mab, and not kill her and give the summer lady power to the person she wishes? 3. Is like having Sarrisa as summer lady like making the Summer Court as a vassal to Winter Court.

So, I have a purely theoretical question. It's never addressed in the books, and as far as I can tell, there is no WoJ on the subject. Can the Wyldfae that are explicitly stated to be as powerful (or close to as powerful) as the Queens have Knights? Not do they, as it either hasn't been addressed yet or doesn't exist, but COULD they? All opinions welcome.

So, I haven't had much luck finding many of these on Fanfiction, and was wondering if you folks had any recommendations. To clarify, I mean a story that takes place in the Dresden Files universe, but doesn't involve ANY of the main characters in a more than a minimal role. It seems like, with JB's fantastic worldbuilding, this would be more of a thing.

Same as the Harry Potter version. If you have a Dresden Files question and don't think it needs/deserves its own threat, post it here. ~~~ My question, are we ever told what Johnny Marcone pays Monoc Securities/Donar Vadderung/Odin for his help? And, if not, do we even know what form that payment takes? Is it just money or something more exotic like favours or worship? Thanks.

Heyo. Just a quick question for any hardened Dresdenites out there. I'm currently working on an OC fanfic that features Red Court vampires, and I wondered if anybody knew about the exact nature of silver as it related to things other than the loup-garou. I seem to recall it needing to be inherited silver to have an effect, but does that rule also apply to vampires? Hell, for that matter, does any kind of silver, inherited or not, work on Red Court vamps? Thank you in advance.

Ok, so this hasn't popped up over here yet but in the recent Kansas City signing JB mentioned the following: Ok, the next novel in the Dresden Files is called Skin Game, it’s a heist. Mab goes to Harry and says, “You have to help this guy steal something”. And the person they’re ripping it off from is the lord of the underworld, Hades, who has repurposed Daedalus’ labyrinth as his, kind of as his personal safe. So Harry and Nicodemus are off to rip off the lord of hell. We’ll see how...

This is a brand new original 6 issue comic book series set after Fool Moon which Jim is co-writing. Jim did a interview over at Newsarama back in October along with the co-writer and they talk about what is in-store for Harry. You can buy the 1st issue at Comixology. If you prefer print than you can go to Dynamite's Dresden Files webpage. I read the 1st issue and I enjoyed it. If you liked Welcome to the Jungle than give this comic a try.

Hey guys, I just read Water Mage's Theories About Nuclear Winter and it got me thinking. Now, in Water Mage's story the Potter universe is connected to the Dresdenverse via the Outsider's dimension and the Gatekeeper already told us he had suspicions about the Outsider's trying to get to other Worlds and Universes. So if we work on that assumption, that means that every possible Universe, fictional or otherwise, can be connected to the Dresdenverse, and every other one, and by extension the...

We have this thread already, but I thought that there is no problem with having one just for DF in its own subforum. Also, a warning - COLD DAYS SPOILERS in this one. The Empty Night I looked at the night sky and it was empty. No stars or even Moon. Nothing but a darkness. The only source of light was ahead of my boat, on a small island hidden from the world. The last bastion of humanity. The Demonreach. It was once a prison for the worst monsters of this...

I was just thinking on it. What's Maeve's job? Mab didn't want to answer the question. Theories?

So I just found this fairly recent interview with Jim. Thought you guys would enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRv_ejA0BK0 I hope this is the right place to post this.

WARNING: This thread is not explicitly intended to discuss Cold Days, and the OP will have no spoilers, but I can't make promises for the rest of the thread. Spoilers may slip through. Read at your risk, if you haven't read Cold Days. For TL;DR, see bottom. So the Peggy Sue is a popular fanfic trope in Harry Potter, but there hasn't really been any in Dresden fanfic, that I know of. For those unfamiliar, a Peggy Sue plot is one where the character's mind goes back in time to their...

This thread is dedicated to you motherfuckers who have finished Cold Days, have at it, cunts.

http://bit.ly/S8TvYD Jim Butcher is doing an AMA on reddit in about an hour. Get your shit in now, faggots. Edit: I am aware this was posted in the cold days thread, but for people who avoid that shit to avoid spoilers, it is here as well.

I've been toying with this idea for awhile now. Seemed like two settings that fit remarkably well together. The plot isn't exactly mind blowing but solid I believe. The story itself is just to get me back into the habit of writing. I've typed the first couple chapters but only have the first one really ironed out. I'd like to get another pair of eyes on it before I drop it all on the boards. If anybody is game send me a pm. I'm still getting Dresden's character nailed down but I think its...

Bonjour, mi amigos. As an avid follower of the Dresden Files, I found it hard to read any other books of the same caliber. During a recent foray to the B&N, I came across a book with the tagline: "It may be possible that Hearne and Atticus are the logical heir to Butcher and Dresden." - SFFWorld. It was Tricked by Kevin Hearne. So I was all :colbert: until I started checking it out. And its actually very interesting. Its about a 2,100-year-old Celtic immortal named Atticus O'Sullivan who...

I was rereading Changes today while in Jury Duty (ended up not getting picked) but I realized that when Dresden becomes the Winter Knight, Mab did not mention anything about the third favour. Several times Mab has offered to forgive the debt if Harry became the Winter Knight, but he refused. This time he came to her and accepted the Winter Knight Mantle for the ability to rescue his daughter. So what happens to his debt to Mab? He still owes her one favour.

Tonight! http://blog.patrickrothfuss.com/2012/08/showtime/ As an aside, I now have the Muppets theme song stuck in my head.

Apologies if this has already been posted, I couldn't find it after I saw the news and figured I'd share. https://twitter.com/longshotauthor Means likely around Halloween, at least according to his forum that is what Butcher is pushing to happen. But a possible Winter release exists also. Anyway, cheers! Glad to hear it's finally written.

So this is probably a random prediction thread, but I was re-reading Death Masks and had a stray thought masquerading as an epiphany: Harry soulgazed Rasmussen/Ursiel. In Small Favor Thorned Namshiel took the Church's 11 coins and probably passed them on to Tessa or Rosana and they're linked to the Black Council, if I remember correctly. Lasciel isn't Lash, and thus doesn't know Harry. None of the other fallen know much about Harry short of reconnaissance and firsthand info, so I'm...

Right, okay, so there have been two awesome threads recently, one tailoring to moments in Harry Potter FanFiciton, and one regarding HP!Canon … They’ve both been the best threads I've read in ‘many a long year.’ So how about it; what’s your favourite moment from Jim Butcher’s ‘the Dresden Files’?

Here's some news for those who haven't heard about it yet. (source) Butcher announced 4 upcoming short stories: A trilogy of short stories with linked characters in which Bigfoot is Dresden’s client: B is for Bigfoot - set between Fool Moon and Grave Peril, published in Under My Hat: Tales from the Cauldron I Was A Teenage Bigfoot - set around the time of Dead Beat, published in Blood Lite III: Aftertaste Bigfoot on Campus - set between Turn Coat and Changes, published in Hex...

So - a question. Shouldn't the Blackstaff be seriously unhinged or twisted? Stay with me for a minute and I'll lay out my logic. The Blackstaff has the power to break the Laws of Magic at will and we see McCoy do this in Changes when he kills hundreds of human mercenaries. Now I was under the impression that killing with magic, especially multiple times, had a detrimental effect on a person because it twists the basic nature of magic. So shouldn't the Blackstaff be kind of unstable or...

Someone on the official Jim Butcher forums showed me this forum's "Word of God Thread" today and I'm amazed that I hadn't seen it before. I have put a great deal of effort into finding everything I can that Jim has said about the Dresden Files, and organizing it for reference purposes, and I sure wish I knew that this resource was here when I started late in 2010. The fruit of my labor is found here in my "Dresden Files WoJ Compilation." And I have put together a list of interview...

I'm looking for a beta for my story, "Within Destruction" (link at sig). I've got about 14 chapters planned out, but it may be subject to change. I don't want someone who just tells me that everything's good, and there's nothing to improve on. My dialogue's pretty weak, and my plot isn't as intricate as I'd like. These are my main reasons to find a beta, so if you're interested, just post on this thread/drop me a PM.

Probably would have been better to post it in the story idea thread, since it will likely never happen in canon, but I've been having an odd thought the last couple of days, and it wont go away. I'd shoot myself in the head to teach it a lesson, but I'm deathly allergic to bullets. Anyway! Onward to greatness (Read: A horrible idea I should feel ashamed of having.): So. Einherjar. Dead dudes that got ferried off the Great Hall in the Sky. Except Nick. I mean, if you're gonna get...

So I've been flicking through the Dresden Files RPG books over the past few days, paying more attention to the blacked out text (hooray for PDFs!) and the 'side notes'. In the second book, Our World, which is a repository of playsheets for canon characters, on page 209, Harry says [spoiler]. Taken with Kincaid's statement (can't remember which book, but it is referenced on page 161 of Our World) that he (Kincaid) is as human as Dresden... I'd wondered about Kincaid's statement for a...

Please let me know if I get any of this wrong. Aparturum opens a one-sided portal into the Nevernever. The other side is transparent. The size and orientation of the portal is dependent on the caster, while the corresponding location in the Nevernever is dependent only on the location of the spell. Is this right? Ok, assuming that an Aparturum portal acts as any magical construct should, and cannot be dispelled by anything short of direct magical action, then this is the most overpowered...

I wonder if Dresden will still be a shade. I understand his body is still alive, and that he can go back into it. My main question is, what about the fact that Dadens body has already been separated for his soul.

I was wondering if anyone noticed the comment Harry made about Sho Tai during his flashback to the warden training. He talks about a friend being a descendant of Sho Tai. here's the quote. "Mail came for you yesterday," she said, and produced a letter from a pocket. I took it, scanned the envelope, and opened it. "Hmmm." "Who is it from?" she asked. Her tone was that of one passing the time in polite conversation. "Warden Yoshimo," I said. "I had a few questions for her...

I'm 75% sure this is going to come out a piece of shit but you gotta start somewhere right? I want to make a 1st person Dresden files fanfiction with multiple subplots going on at once. Just like the man himself: Jim Butcher. It will take place between Dead Beat and Proven Guilty. My grammar is of an acceptable level to avoid looking like an asshat but there will most likely be many mistakes. I want a beta to bounce ideas off of and to avoid cliches and tiresome formulaic writing. If I...

Short explanation; Intellectus is the state of being very high level supernatural creatures can have. It isn't omniscience but if they think about something they know it instantly, like they always knew. Known or suspected creatures to have intellectus are Angels, Mother Winter and Mother Summer There is one caveat though. They have to know what they are searching for. But what are the limits on this? Can they pull a 'Mirror, Mirror on the wall, tell me who the fuck to kill?' or does it...

I can't understand how anyone likes this book, so I'm looking for some insight. Reasons? Well I'll start out with Murphy, she's flopping around like a dead fish! She just got done wielding the Sword of God, talking with "God's own words", and all of a sudden she becomes a little bitch. She's been fighting pawns for 7 months, then all of a sudden when some little kid with a gun is in front of her she FLIPS to become nice! What? Doesn't make any since.

Well, I recently bought the Your Story book and ran a small adventure called Neutral Ground's which I downloaded. It proceeded a lot better than expected considering the only system the players used previously had been classic D20 3.5 Edition D&D. Unfortunately I'm finding it difficult to find a proper forum to share idea's for a campaign and relay my stories back (I'm not even sure TDF forums are great for that either). So, considering DLP introduced me to the series I thought I could...

So, one of the things we know for sure about thresholds is that humans produce them, while supernatural critters don't. So, what about half-human half-supernatural things, like Changelings and Scions? Would they produce thresholds over their homes? Would they be affected by the thresholds of others? If I had to make a total guess, I would say that half-humans would probably either produce weaker than normal thresholds, and/or their thresholds might have issues like a changeling's threshold...

So, we know from canon that sunrise and sunset have all kinds of magical significance, like wiping out unprotected spirits and dispelling a lot of magical energy because the world resets/starts a new day. So, what happens in places above the arctic circle/below the antarctic circle, where you can go for extended periods of time without any sunrise/sunset? Is there no "new day" effect of sunrise, allowing spells that would normally disperse at sunrise to last for weeks or even months? Or...

So now that Harry's officially Winter Knight, what changes do you think he'll undergo, physically, to his power, and otherwise? He's already established that he won't let Mab twist his ideals or change his nature, etc, but some things are bound to change. For instance, I was re-reading Summer Knight, and Lloyd Slate has a "snowflake made of scar tissue" on his neck that Maeve uses to cause him pain and control him to an extent. While I doubt that Harry would let this happen to him,...

Something seems odd about that one, and unless I'm mistaken Dresden never quite figures out what she is. Here's what we know about her: She doesn't quite interact with the world like a ghost (e.g. with that whole thing about her statue no longer being there while she's moving around the world). She calls Dresden a "monster," and then she cuts through Dresden's sense of self-worth with ease, leaving him believing that he really is a monster, for a time When she taps Dresden's grave...

The 'official looking for' thread will NOT let me post, because it's been more than thirty days since anyone posted in there, so before you bite my head off, take that into account. If a mod/admin could move this post into that thread, I'd appreciate it. A while ago, I was linked a fanfic by Vlad that featured Harry's daughter being inducted into the Council, and then she goes back to her mentor Molly and Molly tells her that she's Harry's daughter, and that was the end of the first...

Thread for what you thought of the book in general. I'm going to assume that people who click on a thread marked "spoilers" in a forum marked "spoilers" don't need protection from spoilers. Anyway, what did you think? I thought the mystery of Harry's killer was done very well. I can honestly say that I wasn't expecting it to be Molly at all. I actually thought it was going to be Harry himself. Lea's three hints all fit Harry - he's acquainted with himself, he is responsible for the deaths...

My favourite, definitely has to be; She put her cup of hot chocolate to her lips and just held it there, trails of steam curling up around her blue eyes. “So. You’ve finally been inside me. I feel like I should be offering you a cigarette.” I giggled RL. :awesome And of course.. Be.

All I have to say, since any more would be spoilerish, is this book is fucking amazing. Read it now. I would potentially call it one of the greatest books in the series if not the greatest, as well as.... well its awesome and lets leave it at that.

There are apparently programs to convert this to kindle format too. http://www.booksonboard.com/index.php?BODY=viewbook&BOOK=1058133 I think ill just wait and get it from amazon but if anyone wants the ebook a bit early, there you go.
