    Taure: I'm sorry to here you won't be involved. It is true that the plot has been continuously changing (notably with Big D's contribution) but I think that is part of the fun... And while many of the changes have been significant, none of them have really been damaging to the story. I think it still has the potential to be good.

    I hope that my handling of the last little while didn't upset you: I tried to deal with things in the best way I could. Since you hadn't responded yet, it didn't seem reasonable to turn away Virail's contribution. (Note: if anyone thinks they could do a better job organising this, they're welcome to it.)

    Out of curiosity, what was the twist you had planned? Since you aren't going to be writing it, it may as well go out in the open

    Water Mage: you're up (again), please respond within 24 hours.... Since last time you wanted to be moved back, I'll just assume that's what you want to happen again if you don't respond.

    Aekiel: Are you still interested in this?

    I can think of a few ways I could take it if Water Mage doesn't post, so yeah, I'm in.

    My turn now, huh. Plot still seems very workable. I'll have something up tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest. I'll curb the urge to insert an omg!twist since there's already enough so far.

    Santa Clause. You made fucking Santa Clause one of the Wyldfae. Water Mage, I fucking love you :). I'm a bit busy today so I probably won't get anything out but I should have something to post by tomorrow night some time.

    It's implied in Storm Front that Santa is a fae.

    And then he went on to capture the Erlking, what does that say about him?

    We know the fae gain power from stories and belief in them or whatever, so all the little kids that believe in Saint Nick = super powerful fae. Since I read that Santa bit in Storm Front I've been under the belief he operated as a wyldfae after the faerie politics gained depth.

    Since there's more seasons than just Summer and Winter, I wonder if the rest are tied to the wyldfae. Since Christmas is on the equinox and celebrates the return of spring and the new year, I think Santa would be the Spring fae. Then that puts the Erlking as the Autumn fae, which kinda fits since the Wild Hunt draws in ghost and spirits, so Halloween falls right in there. But all this is just theory.

    It's a damn good theory too.

    Also, I love this story.

    Ugh, sorry to say it but I've come down with a cold and it's sapping all my creative juices and expelling them through my nose >_>. If you could bump me down a place or two I should be well enough to write by Monday. Sorry again, but illness fucking sucks :(.

    Aekiel: Sorry to hear that. I'm happy to do that for you. I've moved you down three because it won't take me long to get something out...

    That means it's my turn. I'll have something out soon.

    It seems that people are arranging for the Summer Court to get horribly raped...Mab, Erlking, Kringle, and now the Denarians. I think you guys should throw Ferrovax into the mix as well.

    digitalstorm: Hm... I'm not sure how much it's Summer that's in trouble as opposed to Titania. Mab has a very significant reason to try to kill her, and her sanity is very questionable at this point. As for Ferrovax, he'll probably get involved later.

    N: You're up.

    Nice chapter, but using Bob too much feels like cheating to me, Dresden should figure things out on his own, or at least have Bob ask something in return for the information.He should be a little reluctant to give some stuff away imo.

    Edit: Also, Harry should shout something witty at the Denerian. That`s his thing!
