Jim, will Toot-Toot and/or the rest of the Za Lord's guard ever get their own "short" story? hehe see what i did there?

Jim, will you ever write a short story from Toot-Toot's perspective? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE?

"You think the dry cleaner can get this out?"
(...)
"The last time I took something stained by a slime golem to a cleaner, the owner burned his place down the next day and tried to collect on the insurance."

(From the beginning of It's My Birthday Too)

So Harry has used dry cleaning at least once. ;)

Also, in Death Masks, (just after he got the fairy housekeeping service) when Susan comes back, she asks if someone else is living there, and when Harry says no, comments "Your clothes smell like fabric softener. You never use fabric softener." So I figured the Brownies were at least dealing with the day to day stuff, although apparently they won't touch Slime Golem stains either.  ;D

I thought it Luccio trained both Ramirez and Steed.

Luccio only trained Morgan as far as we know.

Ramirez? He trained under Graham Ashe. :D

Ramirez should've been it. My only real grouse about the original movie.

Oh, I understand that wholly... but a Scot with a Swiss accent should NOT have been The One. :D

Okay, back on track. No, there's no official word out about who trained Ramirez.

I don't know if this has been asked already, because I didn't read all 27 pages
but will we ever find out about when Harry & Michael met?

It doesn't have to be a short story  although that would be awesome(understanding your time constraits
but a paragraph or two in a book would be great too.

Has there been any thought to a book after the final trilogy, that discusses the various elements in the Dresdenverse (I'm thinking like the Rivan Codex for the Belgariad)

for JB-

over the last 6 months, I've been thru just about all of JBs novels-


both series are creative-beyond-belief;

these comments/ questions involve the DF only.

have come to appreciate their "grounding":
Conservation of energy being observed;
ties to legitimate myths/ legends;
characters related logically to each other.

looking forward to subtle shifting {?} of interactions between Harry and the powers-that-be.
(will really miss the interplay between H and his major immediate nemesis, but it's JB's works to handle as he chooses).

not at all clear how far DF  can go. JB's posts several years ago suggested 3 more novels. Later, a total of 20 was indicated.

Selfishly, I'd prefer that Jim's efforts be devoted to Dresden, as far as he can take it. I can appreciate that there may be creative limits, and other interests that Jim might wish to pursue.

Great stuff ! May the well never run dry !

Steve, your selfishness is actually a little counterproductive for you; he keeps himself and his writing fresh by stepping away from a novel world regularly. TDF and Codex Alera both benefited greatly by this alternation (and if you haven't read Alera, now you have a way to fill at least part of the wait for Ghost Story!) - if he went all Dresden all the time, he'd be so heartily sick of Harry that he'd likely retire early.

I was being facetious, Shecky.
I've read just about EVERYTHING, some more than once. I kinda like the Codex series, but I'm REALLY drawn to DF
