As a lore-obsessed nerd who just dove into the Dresden books this year, I am in awe and ecstasy at discovering this thread.  Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to contributing in the future!

One tidbit that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere: if SF and FM take place in 2000, that means the full moon in Fool Moon was on Friday the 13th!  (Very appropriate, if you ask me!)
