Let us know about new WoJ's here

(1/3) > >>

Serack:
If you know of a WoJ source that you want to suggest get put in the WoJ forum/get linked to in the link collection, please mention it in this topic.

This new topic will serve part of the purpose of the old WoJ transcription sticky.

To be more specific, Jim is known to do interviews for other people's websites and they don't always get announced on the website.  If you happen to come across one of these, let us know here.  Also, like many of us, Jim is active all over the internet.  I have come across random posts by Jim in places like youtube, Amazon, various writing websites, and of course Twitter.  If you notice something noteworthy anywhere on the internet that Jim has said, or that quotes something Jim said in an interview or something, let us know here :)

However, if it's already been announced in the announcements section, is a post on the jimbutcher forums, or is something already linked in the interview list, you can probably safely assume that it's already been referenced in the WoJ section.

Also, I don't really do twitter.  I'll quote something I've already written on the subject, but suffice to say, usually if anything cool is said on twitter, I find out from you guys rather than finding it myself.


--- Quote from: Serack on July 03, 2012, 09:14:43 PM ---My aversion to Twitter stems from the fact that I don’t text.  Period.  Sending or receiving.  It’s disabled on my phone.  (There have been a few occasions when having that means of communication might have been convenient, but paring down my communications to the bare bones of ~ a gross of characters is something I refuse to sucumb to for now)  Also, since I am prohibited from having a camera phone at work, and by extension don’t want to bother with the cost of a data plan, I don’t have a smart phone.

But I have two specific issues with twitter.

* Twitter pages load particularly slow on some of the computers I use.  It’s quite frustrating, considering the “I want it now” way things usually are on the internet.
* The times I have gone to Jim’s twitter, I usually have large issues finding the tweets he is responding to so that I have context.  Someone savvy probably doesn’t have problems like that, but coupled with everything else, I figure I’ll just be a fuddy duddy and not bother.
An RSS probably wouldn’t address that last issue.  But hey what would I know.  I spend hours at a time searching for old interviews and obscure WoJ sources that I might have missed in earlier trolling expeditions (in the fishing sense of the word) of the inter-webs.  So in that context, I figure I’d rather be pleasantly surprised when some other dedicated, twitter savvy fan finds something there and posts it for me to see here on the boards.

Hey, hopefully this is the right place to put this. I've been a lurker for a little while, and I've noticed that there seems to be some discussion about (click to show/hide)whether Harry still owes the last favor to Mab now that he's the winter knight. I asked Jim about it while he was signing my copy of Changes, he laughed maniacally and told me that Harry wouldn't get out of it that easy.

I've seen similar WoJ's where the context was a little muddled.  Usually it isn't clear if Jim is answering about death getting him out of his 3 favors deal or his being the knight.  I sometimes construed this as it possibly being because the favors are moot now that he is the knight and Mab thinks she owns him mind, body, and soul. 

I very rarely post WoJ's into the "compilation" that aren't recorded somehow.  Although I have posted at least one with an accompanying note that it is "uncorroborated."  However, I am always personally hungry for any source possible and am always appreciative of people taking the effort to post stuff like this.

wrote this up last night. Nothing new really, but some talk about the tv show and Jim's relationship to it, Jim doing a dream cast of a Dresden Files movie, and a little talk about his new series, The Cinder Spires.

Due to the curating described below, that link is busted and now
http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,31853.msg1649522.html#msg1649522 is where your post is at -Serack

Serack:
Thank you so much!

I had already listened to the parts with Jim in it, but I almost wish I didn't because the spoilers are a little more than I wanted to be exposed to.  I've been avoiding this years sample chapter discussions because last years felt so much like spinning wheels...

By the way, that transcript was really way too Cold Days spoiler heavy to be in the books section.  No matter though because I flexed some curator powers and merged your posts into a newly klobbered together 2012 transcriptions thread in the WoJ section.  It's nice to be able to transfer your actual post there rather than copying and pasting.  I prefer that those that read it see that it was you that went through all that effort by having your avatar and name next to it :)
