Dog Men Release Q&A Suggestions
Talby16:
We've discussed it here but I would love to hear Jim's take:
Q: What happens if a Fae owes a debt to a person who passes away and has no living relatives for the debt to pass to and makes no provision for that debt before his/her death?
knnn:
I would ask the following:
We've seen that even mundane objects like the fake Shroud can contain vast amounts of power if they are the focus of enough belief. How much power does something like the Statue of Liberty (i.e. as a symbol of hope to thousands) have?
Morgana Le Fay obviously existed at some point (it's her Athame), and the "Le fay" moniker implies she was well-versed in the Nevernever travel. The original Merlin is reported to be around somewhere. Is Morgana still around? Does she know "Merlin-level" magic?
In Small Favor, the Archive is hiding under a veil right under the nose of half a dozen Denarians, yet she wasn't worried that one of them would use the Sight to find her. Is it that she knew that Tessa and her minions didn't have enough magical power to open up a Third Eye, or was it some "Veil 2.0" spell that is impenetrable to the Sight?

"Where did the idea for Bob come from?"
"Why Chicago?"
"Where did you get the idea for Harry's names?"
Because I don't like spoilers.

Also, what I said with regards to SK, PT & MM was meant to add context to your point (assuming I'm not wrong about the bit about Harry being summoned).

No problem. I also just was trying to make clear why I feel that this question is worth being asked. :)
--- Quote from: revan2357 on March 20, 2018, 09:08:24 PM ---Edit: I agree. If true it makes your point more pressing: there are only a couple of case file books left after that (presumed) sequence where unresolved issues can be addressed.

Yeah, exactly. As I said, there has been a huge pile-up since Changes and Harry has been very obviously been locked away from dealing with them out of the bounds of the books. I have this nagging fear that Jim may not be able to unspool all these threads in an orderly manner.

All of those have been answered in past Q&A's. Bob is a literal talking head which Jim put in to make a joke at his writing teacher; Chicago because he couldn't use his original location he wanted to use, since that original location would have been too similar to Anita Blake; Harry's name is an amalgamation of different magician names and Dresden was used for some obscure reason I don't remember of the top of my head.
