Other Jimness > Cinder Spires Spoilers
What we know
peregrine:
Jetsons did it first.
Magnus:
I also remember Jim mentioning something about magic, and those who knew magic, were wrong in some way. For example there is one person who knows magic but he doesn't know how to handle a doorknob so he has someone to open doors from him. But the dangerous magicians are those who seems like normal humans, because there must be something seriously wrong with them. Something along those lines anyway.

Correct. How Jim handles this is outstanding.
Quantus:
So Ive been wondering: Legend has it that the Dresden Files began as an argument regarding formulaic plot elements in fiction, and that the Codex Alera had to do with a bet involving pokemon and roman legions. I wonder if there was any similar trigger for the Cinder Spires
Shecky:
Not that Jim has said. As he himself has noted before, he seemed to be at his best and most energized when switching between story worlds; each one served as a "rest" from the other when he was alternating between TDF and CA. Since CA has been over for a while, he "auditioned" a few concepts with the betas, and the steampunk story kernel absolutely blew us away. Taking real-life stuff into account, he seems to be enjoying doing CS, so that's a valuable thing for both him and us.
