The Dresden Files > DF Reference Collection
Jim-Butcher.com - A Dictionary (could contain some spoilers)
Serack:
The DF section is getting huge. I'd like to reiterate my recommendation that the acronyms for the books get broken out into their own section.
Maybe brake up the rest into Characters, Groups, and Places.
Also there are some that are outdated. The one I have in mind is GG for Grey Ghost. That pretty much went out of fashion shortly after everyone had finished Ghost Story.
Here's what the DF section would look like with my suggested edits: (I didn't get rid of GG, and I lumped places and groups together because appart the catagories would be half the size of the others)

DoTArchon:
I've made the change, and you were right, it does look a lot better and easier to use. :)
I'm also thinking of dropping the following due to age:
BM = Bolshevik Muppet
CF = Chlorofiend
GG has been dropped, once we found out it's identity it seemed to go out of use.

Not Bolshevik Muppet! That was so funny.
BTW you could use GG for Ghoul Goblin, the latest Graphic Novel.

I like referring to certain forum members by acronyms and nicknames. It gives me a feeling of jovial familiarity that I like, and I figured I'd record them here for reference. Not all of these are currently active.
