Shorts set During 12M ?

[g33k]

Because 12M covers such a long duration of time -- and so much is happening -- Jim is exploring side-plots via shorts that are set within the same timeframe as the novel.

IIRC/AFAIK this list is complete/correct (to date), and "in order" they happened in the Dresdenverse:

Little Things
Christmas Eve / Good People
The Law (and presumably the upcoming(?) "Out Law" ... maybe even the reported 3rd "Law" in the mini-arc?)

Any others?

Some where in there Fugitive(the Mouse one) some time after Maggie starts going to the boarding school.

I think there's a Goodman Grey story coming out in April, but I don't know when it's set.

Anyone else notice that the gargoyles were officially protecting the castle after Christmas but were defending the castle in the Good People short story? I haven't reread Good People yet after 12 months, so I don't want to say it's a continuity error just yet.

I wanted nothing more from Twelve Months than a glimpse of what John Marcone and Namshiel have been doing during the same time. Marcone also just lost his best friend and most ordinary human companion. He also just walked out of a war holding more cards than he did when he walked in. He is also someone who might reasonably be suspected of holding the Eye of Balor, the last time most people saw it was when he picked it up and took off towards the lake. He's gained serious real respect from the supernatural nations too.

I want to know what he's thinking.

Outlaw has Marcone in it. Probably not as much as either of us would like.

I also want more bigfoots. Irwin, River Shoulders, and the Denarian. We've been teased about all of them in "recent" stories.

Now that Marcone has accepted the Coin and is actively working with an Angelic-caliber Intellectus, I strongly suspect another Marcone-POV story becomes very tough for Jim to write without giving away too much; he's remarked the Mouse also "knows too much" to easily write more Mouse-POV stories.

I have a feeling Fallen Angels don't have intellectus. Just a guess based on how Just m incorporates real world beliefs and how real world theology says demons have less going on than angels. Of course, Jim changed things as he sees fit and real world theology is extremely varied.

Jim has written two Mouse point of view stories since saying that and writes a lot of stories where the point of view character knows a bunch of things they only reference without explaining, like the Morgan pov story, Journal, where we learn the word Destroyer, but are given no further clue as to what that is.

My point is we might still get another Marcone pov story. That story wasn't my favorite, if I'm being honest, so I'm not wish casting the likelihood of another Marcone short story. I'd much rather see a longer Kincaid one than Goodbye. I really want Kincaid and Ivy to make up.

Not universal intellectus, anyway. With the possible exception of Big L.

I wouldn't rule out the Fallen having a more limited intellectus over a particular domain, though.  Like the skinwalkers over how to hurt someone, or Alfred and the Warden over the island's geography.

I don't think Marcone would be a prohibitive character to do any more POV of, though.  Namshiel knowing too much is only a narrative problem writing Marcone's POV if Namshiel is telling him everything, freely and accurately.  Any Fallen who leaves their host volitional at all, is presumably lying and withholding as necessary to draw the host ever deeper.

That sounds about right.

I think the domain over which Angels have intellectus varies; and perhaps not all Angels have it.  The Angel of Death likely has intellectus about people who are dying, for example.

I'm pretty sure Anduriel is "Master of Shadows" and that has him hearing out of every shadow.  Mostly, he ignores this, but he keeps an ear out for his own name (and likely the other Denarians; maybe all Angelic Names), and certainly kept tabs on Harry for the duration of Skin Game, among other topics he tracks routinely, and/or for specific missions.

Still, I suppose that isn't _quite_ an Intellectus, because it's knowing what "many" but not "all" of what his Shadows can hear.

[Bad Alias]

I believe it's that he can hear out of every shadow cast by a living being if he's paying attention. That's significantly different than an intellectus.

If they have an intellectus, it's almost certainly not a general one.

I believe it's that he can hear out of every shadow cast by a living being if he's paying attention. That's significantly different than an intellectus. 

My own memory is that he can "hear" it all, but that it's just like the murmurs of a crowd, undifferentiated.

He can "pay attention" to any that he wants to, and they snap to clarity for him (I'm suddenly struck by Harry's talent for "Listening"!), and he can "keep track" of any people of special interest (e.g. Harry during Skin Game); and he "notices" some words (like his own Name) and topics.

As you say, that's less than a true "Intellectus."  But it's formidable, and... similar.
Maybe call it a "Fallen Intellectus" -- less than it was.
