--- Quote from: Quantus on March 19, 2013, 06:08:13 PM ---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

This is very fuzzy in my already bad memory so it will not be exact. Quite some time ago Jim talked about coming home from some event (I believe it may have been Larping but aforementioned fuzzy memory is still not working) while a storm was blowing in. He said something about seeing the heavy storm clouds rolling across the clear sky and how he almost instantly got an idea for a steampunk world or city or something similar. I have no idea where this quote is but I have wondered if it was the beginning of the Cinder Spires universe.
If any of you WOJ experts out there could find this I would appreciate it. I'm not even one hundred percent sure that it was on this site although I think it was.

I am wondering... has anyone gone on hand and knees begging Jim to give us even one chapter sample of this new world to get us drooling and raving for more. Forget Pavlov's dog the chapter previews are my bell.

Possibly, but as he's still writing it I doubt we have a chance. Good odds that we will see them in the last weeks before its released, as with his other works. We do have a chance to get the first Line, he has been willing to share those well ahead of time. But the first line of the first book of a new series will probably not mean a whole lot to us, having no contextual reference for it.
Magnus:
Even if we have no contextual context for the sentence it will still be.something written by Jim Butcher so it is Well wort reading, due to that. ;)
Joefoe:
my first thought when I heard it was a steam punk series was that he went back to Alera.
He had made a comment about it becoming very steampunky 1000 years fromn where we left off
