Prisc, I don't remember getting an exact date from the book, what's your source for GS starting on May 9th?

I'm not Priscellie, but I can answer. Stu tells Harry straight out in Chapter 4 that the date is May 9th. He also says that it's been more than six months since Harry died.

Bah, so I just didn't remember that specific.

So I was bad, and picked up a copy of Naked City at my local bookstore. Jim says his short in it, "Curses", takes place between Small Favor and Turn Coat. However, during the events of "Curses", Harry is introduced as (click to show/hide)the Esquire of Queen Titania of the Summer Court (among other things. However, wouldn't that have ended when Harry (click to show/hide)used his favour that Lily gave him to get Big Brother Gruff to go get him a doughnut near the end of the book? Or is he still considered the former even after the latter happened? o_O

Is this dating from an interview or something else? I checked it out from my library last week, and was wracking my brain trying to figure out the timing of the story, with no internal clues that I could spot.

I believe it's WoP (Priscellie based off of her convo's with Jim). She mentioned the timing in the official anouncement. There is some major, very constructive discussion about it around page 26 of this topic as well.
Egads, checking for what she might have said about this showed me a project she suggested I take up for this thread back in May that somehow slipped by me. I'll venture to say that my compilation of the Amazon.com WoJ's around that time might make up for the lapse though :P

--- Quote from: Priscellie on May 27, 2011, 12:31:01 PM ---Fixed the stuff about Vlad Drakul and tweaked Charity's birth. Also added the French and Indian War. If you haven't already, can someone put together a list of WoJ stuff Jim has said happened during that time? It's kind of a magnet date for awesome, apparently!

Wow, dunno how this slipped by me Priscellie. Here goes:
2009 Lexington signing:
Q: Will we ever find out more about the Black Cats, or about Eb’s early years?
A: He’s considered writing a story in the Dresdenverse about the American-Indian war, when Eb and the Merlin were both young punks.
2009 Independence signing:
Q: How old is Eb?
A: Eb is over 300 years old. He and Merlin have known each other for a very long time. They fought on opposite sides in the French & Indian war.

If I ever do any major work (IE, novels) from alternate characters, I probably could not set them in the time period of the Dresden Files. I have several neat ideas, and the one that appeals to me the most is writing the French and Indian war years from the viewpoint of a young Ebenezar McCoy and his associates. The first duel between Eb and Listens-to-Wind is pretty epic in my head. :)

Interesting snippet that could be placed into the timeline
2010 RAFO interview
All the wizards in The Dresden Files seem to have their own personal motif and way of channelling energy. What's the oddest and/or most entertaining motif you've come up with?
My favorite is probably from an unpublished short story I wrote, set in the Dresden Files universe, but during the Battle of the Bulge. The Nazis had a sorcerer operating out of an old monastery, and the White Council dispatched the Belgian wizard, Klaus the Toymaker. Klaus's magic is all based around using children's toys as focii. My favorite moment was when he killed a couple of SS-summoned demons with a windup wooden duck.
timeline summary for that snippet:
~1944-1955 Klaus the Toymaker defeats Nazi sorcerer during the Battle of the Bulge.
