The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

How did you find The Dresden Files?

(1/4) > >>

EBRIEN:
I first found the TV series, as I suspect did many of you. I didn't realize it was based on a novel until I was having a discussion with a waitress in a seedy bar. I've no idea how we even got to the topic other than maybe through science fiction, but she said I should definitely try the books. So, around 2010, I dived in and was transported to a new world. Dresden was a welcome respite from my real world woes and Dresden and I became fast friends. Over the years, Dresden's kinda been like family. I met Jim at the Big Trouble in Little China screening/book signing several years ago and got to say thanks. The theater was full of supporters I'm sure were there to share their own thank yous.

Dresden still provides respite at times. There's a familial comfort in rereading the stories or listening to them.

Hope you are well, Forum readers. This place is like Dresden, too. Familiar and comfortable.

Thanks---Brien

So similar. I was into Buffy, Angel, Charmed, Supernatural around 2008 I was laid u with a broken ankle and binge watched them. Came across the tv show. Didn't think much about till 2010 and got hit with the twihard phase. Then I read Sookie Stackhouse. Then finally got into the books. Now its my favourite series. The books, the characters, the lore of the world within it and of course the fandom community as well. It's rare outside of Trekkies, Star Wars, Lotr, Harry Potter to find a passionate fandom that can argue about minute details for 9 pages (subtle look at my Star Born thread).

Thanks Guys

Same with me, started with the television series, wasn't even aware that it was based on a book series.  Only disappointment is the character Bob, I loved the actor playing him and thus the character as well.  So the Bob of the novels was a bit of a let down...

Yes. The actor, Terrence Mann, is so good. Have you seen Foundation with him as Brother Dusk?

I suspect many of us have binged those shows as well. I know Supernatural is a definite favorite.
