I was reading Karen Millers livejournal and stumbled across this post:

Quote from: Karen Miller
Which brings us to this good news, that Angry Robot is about to hold an open door manuscript submission event, for new and/or unagented writers. No, Angry Robot is not my publisher. But I think this is a great idea so I'm letting you know.

http://angryrobotbooks.com/march-2011-open-door-month/

(It started on 1st March and ends on 31st March so not much time left though)

Why, exactly, did Anastasia Luccio, who was present and did have the item in question, fail to simply use her Warden's Sword-- made to cut through ANY enchantment-- to cut through the barrier and charge in to help with Murphy at her side, and Michael and Sanya not far behind?

Ooops.
WOJ regarding the swords:

Quote
They don't cut through anything.  They are super good for cutting through/disrupting fields of magical energy.  They rip through magic-charged ectoplasm of the nevernever, like the kind demons make when they need a body to inhabit in the real world, like there's no tomorrow.  Otherwise, they are simply swords created by a master of the craft with centuries of experience from the finest alloys available at the time of their creation.

This might fit better in the fan fiction section.

Hi everyone,

Im relatively new and I really enjoyed this thread. I was wondering though if someone would mind eiither doing a thread or just replying here with a key to the acronyms found on the site. Some of them I have deciphered but I can't for the life of me figure the others (such as "IIRC"  ???)

Thank you,
Nick

The one problem I have with this is that I remember Harry mentioning meeting a bigfoot and saying it was pretty nice. I am trying to remember which short story it was in at the moment...
I don't think that was a short story but a WoJ unfortunately I can't remember it right now, but it was something about Harry and Big Foot talking around a camp fire and how Big Foot complained about the changing times, about how his son shaving and wanting to go into the city.

Or non-existent.  Fallen lie.
Possible, but the representation of Maggie in Harry and Thomas Soulgaze seems suspioucsly similar to a denarian shadow.

For example, he comes to the same conclusion as Harry in Storm Front, that the person behind the murders are using the storms for fuel, only difference is, that he thinks Harry is the bad guy ;)

In Grave Peril at the graveyard scene, and at the beginning of Summer Knight when Harry met Mab, it was hammered home that Fae can't really work their magic on you unless they already have a handle on you.
I thought that was that they couldn't kill you unless they already had a handle on you. They are allowed to mess in other ways though.
Or am I wrong?

I don't remember either of his parents being described as especially tall, and I have always imagined Ebenezar as being rather short but I can't remember if thats actually in the books or if it's just me. Now of course it is possible to be very tall and have averaged sized parents but hight is a genetic trait so tall people often have at least one tall parent.
Actually, Malcolm is described as being tall, I can't find the quote right now though.

Hmm I thought Jim recommended Mads Mikkelsen since his role in Casino Royale was very Morgan, but now I can't find that tweet.

EDIT: Sorry, it wasn't Jim who said that but someone who replied to his tweet.

Hmmm. How about Mads Mikkelsen for Morgan in the fantasy-casting movie?

page 74 Storm Front paperback

"No fun at all," he complained. "No wonder you can't get a date unless someone wants to know something from you."
I blinked at him, and he chortled in glee. "Hah! I love it! We're watching you, Harry Dresden!"
Now that was disconcerting. I had a sudden image of a dozen faery voyeurs lingering around my apartment's windows and peering inside. I'd have to take precautions to make sure they couldn't do that. Not that I was afraid of them, or anything. Just in case.

What do people see when they are in a soulgaze with Harry?
Storm Front: Why are the small folk watching Harry?

A word of warning - I had read all the books up until the end of Small Favor but missed some of the shorts (until Side Jobs came out) and Our World is full of spoilers for everything.  If a character appears in a short story you can expect those events to be touched on in the book.


Read all published shorts ^^ so no problem there.
