I know he has discussed diversity issues before (a criticism I found unfair). I don't remember anything specifically about women.

  You wouldn't happen to know where those are, would you?  I'd like to be able to listen to/read them, to get a better idea of his stance and whether I interpreted too much from the signing.  It's a problem I've had in the past, and refining my interpretations of conversational undertones is an ongoing process for me.

Well, I think it's a valid question. Of course Jin is free to write whatever he wants, but the question is valid.

  Fair enough.  It's possible that she wasn't aware of the previous criticisms.  I still feel like her tone of voice indicated a level of accusation, but that could just be my interpretation.  Actually, has Jim ever touched on the subject before?  I can't seem to recall him mentioning it in any Q&As I've seen, or in any AMAs or posts in general. 

Dresden needs a new apprentice    I loved the story's about molly when she was just  kid in Harrys eyes.

  I'd like to see how Maggie grows into whatever power comes to her.  Jim has said that if she does manifest magic, it would almost certainly be affected by the fact her mother was a half-turned vampire.  I'd love to see how that interacts with a magical talent.  A female lead with wizard magic AND pseudo-vampire powers going to totally-not-Hogwarts?  That's Young Adult series gold, right there.

Good point.  She'd probably send Lea, assuming she can step in for the Lady.  We know she's Mab's handmaiden, but can she act for Mab on behalf of Molly?  Probably but their rules might be funny.

  On that note, has there been any mention of Molly's handmaiden?  Does she have a Jenny Greenteeth yet, or has no one asked?

By all accounts (both Lovecraft and the few outsiders actually seen in the DV) they are all pretty damn unique in both form and personality, especially the higher up in the power echelons you go.

Oh I'm not doubting that.  I just want to know if there are other Outsiders besides the ones who seem to want to ruin everyone's good time.  Are there Things that exist outside of Existence that don't want to crash our sandbox game?  Are there factions among them?  Or are they too alien for human ideas like that to apply?

He didn't come across as scornful to me, nor did he seem to be glaring.  I thought it was pretty polite rebuff to the question.  But everyone interpets things differently.

Garrett filmed the session, so it should be posted soon.

  It's entirely possible I was reading too much into it, granted.  And perhaps scorn isn't the right word; maybe defiance?  He was very measured and polite on the surface, but to me this seemed like a very pointed question (to my ears, the lady might as well have thrown the glove down) and Jim responded with just as much, but much more effectively veiled sass.  "I don't try to inject my politics into my writing, and I don't like it when people do that".  That's how I remember his words (paraphrased, of course), and at some point I could swear I saw him squinting back at her with something like annoyance.  That final look he gave the crowd when he was done, that shrugging "so yeah, wadda ya gonna do" face really sealed it for me.
  Again, I might be projecting; I hate it when people inject politics and social commentary into stories for its own sake, especially when it detracts from the narrative.  Hearing Jim say what he did tickled me to no end.  If I catch the video and it turns out not to have gone down how I remember it, I'll be sure to amend my statement.

I don't think they are new at all, I think they use whoever, in this case children to taken down their victim.   Harry didn't see them not because he is an adult, though both Maggie seems to think this is why, but because he has full control over his wizard's sight.  He has often said he doesn't like to use it unless he needs to because what he might see and what he sees will be with him always.   Maggie hasn't learned that kind of control yet, so she sees the Haunts, so does Mouse but he is old enough to realize  that the children are not the Haunts, but are being used by the Haunts.

WoJ is that only children can perceive and interact with this new pantheon of monsters Jim is introducing for the YA series, and that you forget about them when you grow up.  Molly forgot, Daniel forgot, and presumably even Lil' Harry has forgotten (or will soon, kid's gettin' big).  Doesn't seem to have anything to do with Wizard's Sight.  Even if it did, methinks Maggie would see a hell of a lot more with her Sight than just Haunts (and therefore comment on it), and Harry would notice her burgeoning gift immediately.
