DF Spoilers / Re: So When Maeve Died, What Happened to.....
« on: August 17, 2021, 12:51:18 AM »
Good question,but wouldn't Mab put her on ice like she did Lea if that were the case and she knew?

There are some microfictions posted on Jim's website. Microfictions here
They're short and character driven.

Thanks! I remember reading these, but looks like I need to do a reread.

The short stories post BG didn't seem like it either.

Ummm...What? Are there some short stories floating around post BG that haven't been shared with the public?

DF Spoilers / The Sight --A question
« on: August 14, 2021, 02:54:56 PM »
In Proven Guilty, Harry pulls up his sight to inspect the bathroom where Pell was attacked and he confirms there's something "spooky" at work. Would he have been able to use his Sight to look at Luccio in Dead Beat to confirm his thought that Corpse Taker took over Luccio's body? I know it was a spur of the moment decision, but if given another couple of moments, would he have been able to do it?

We know Murphy had a blazing angel look to herself through Harry's sight.
I figure Luccio would've had something recognizable (Not that Harry would know what to look for after the body switch--something tainted maybe?)

One note----I believe it's also telling when Billy talks to Dresden about crazy behavior and Harry wonders if he'd actually realize he was crazy if that were the case and again when Harry is speaking to Cowl a little later and Cowl says essentially the same thing. Hmmm...

« on: August 06, 2021, 02:06:45 AM »
Rereading again. I love this book. It such a good read!

What's your Favorite scene? One of mine is Dresden infusing his mind fortress with hellfire against Corpse Taker.
What's your Favorite line? "Polka will never die!" (Hard to beat.)
Best supporting character? Butters....and Sue.
Best new character? Intro of the Erlking?! (and Sue)

Share you faves of this amazing novel!

That is all.

Cheers--Brien

DF Spoilers / Re: Old topic probably, but...question
« on: July 07, 2021, 02:34:19 AM »
Thanks for your answers. Since I'm currently reading Kim Harrison's Hollows series, I kinda think he starts mucking about with ley line magic on Demonreach, gets pulled into a line, and shifted to Rachel Morgan's world of the Hollows.

DF Spoilers / Old topic probably, but...question
« on: July 04, 2021, 02:06:21 PM »
I vaguely remember a mention of Dresden and Supernatural years ago and recently, I've been listening to Kim Harrison's Hollows series.

Question: If you could crossover Dresden with another series (Urban Fantasy or other genre), which would it be and why? Follow-up question: How would you go about bringing Harry into that world?

DF Spoilers / Re: Could any Senior Council member handle Harry if
« on: July 01, 2021, 11:16:49 PM »
Consider this: Marcone is simply the conduit for Namshiel. No inherent magical ability. Like when Bob takes over Mister or Butters gave him free reign to help out. Here's another thought: Lash would say something to the extent that she could show Harry how to call the coin or something or other magic spell. Without her, would he have been able to do it? Or, will Marcone retain the magical abilities conveyed to him once Namshiel has been removed (if)? So...no coin,no magic. Just a thought.

DF Spoilers / Re: Was Justin Infected? Miscalculations...

Ref:  https://www.paranetonline.com/index.php/topic,50129.msg2289460.html#msg2289460

  The above is a post I made a while back suggesting there is something important we don't know about Elaine Mallory.
  Harry has said Elaine is almost as strong as him, and in some ways more skilled.  It is not believable that Justin could have found two such apprentices by chance.
  So, Justin was supposed to be an associate of Margaret LeFay.  What did the two of them work on together?  Did Justin help Margaret learn how to create a starborn?
  There are still a lot of questions about what happened back then.

APG

Any idea who Elaine's parents might be? If Justin knew that Harry was Margaret's son, then maybe he was also an associate of Elaine's parents as well.

Hmmm....inquiring minds...

Possibly, but I can't find it.

DF Spoilers / Harry and NAMES
« on: May 22, 2021, 02:15:57 AM »
Anyone have thoughts of Harry naming beings and, thereby, having power/influence over them?

General Toot-Toot---He seems to be growing each time Harry sees him. (And he gets new title from Harry.)
Lasciel (Lash)--Harry doesn't give in to the coin and Lasciel's shadow becomes Lash.
Uriel (Uri--He was advised not to do that)
The Nickelheads (Denarians)
Octakongs (Fomor creatures--don't think this one qualifies, but...)

Anyway---Hope you are well. I do enjoy reading through all your thoughts and musings.

Cheers---Brien

The reason why the white council is far more irritating than Mab lately.

I believe that Mab gets it. In Skin Game, she tells him to "do what you do" when Nic double crosses the group. I think she realizes that the best way to get Dresden to where he needs to be is by encouraging rather than impeding. He's obstinate enough to be a barrier to her if she requests something that is counter to who he is so she lets his character drive his decisions. (Even if she manipulates the board from time-to-time.)

DF Spoilers / Summer Knight foreshadowing
« on: May 07, 2021, 02:43:04 AM »
Hey All---I've been listening to Summer Knight again. In chapter 17, Harry brings Elaine to the Summer Court for help. While talking to Harry, Aurora refers to him as dangerous and says, "From the beginning you were meant to be a destroyer." I suspect many of you reread and caught this already, but I thought this was cool with all the Starborn chatter popping up with Peace Talks and Battleground. I'm finding it fun to reread/relisten to the series and notice things that weren't really as significant at the time.

What have you noticed?

Anyway--This isn't necessarily in need of responses, but I felt the need to share.

Thanks for indulging me.

Cheers----Brien

DF Spoilers / What about Bob...
« on: May 02, 2021, 07:01:15 PM »
Why is Bob confined to a skull? I know he needs to be there before the sun rises or he's doomed, but why is he confined at all? I mean,why can't he come and go as he, the Spirit, wants?

We know he works with whomever possesses him, and that he's a spirit of intellect and all that, but why isn't he a free spirit? Likewise with Bonea...

When they are born (created), are they automatically bound? Seems convenient for the possessor of the skull (or whatever construct of safety), but problematic for the spirit.

And Evil Bob...Is Evil Bob just floating around somewhere being all free-spirited?

Is there a WoJ?

Thanks!
