Havockitten,

The answer to your question is to do the right thing.  Impulsively.  Even if it means you die, or you start a war, or everyone hates you, or you suffer financial or personal consequences.

And by do the right thing, go with whatever righteous gut impulse compels you to act in the moment.

That definitely does sum up Harry's perspective :) I was thinking of more specific requests, but just was curious about the possibility to ask, in general.

I did get a fun idea yesterday from Butters and Bob that it would be so neat if there was an Ask Bob option, too. He knows so much. If only.

DF Spoilers / Re: Question regarding people with some skill (like the ones that create a "spark")

Thank you all, I appreciate your thoughts on it. I had forgotten about Kim until you mentioned her. I've been reading the books so far apart due to lack of time that I forget some of the previous stuff. I just got past the part yesterday where he went to Sheila's apartment with the wards up and she used her ability, so I realize now she already knew and didn't need his help anyway, so I had apparently forgotten a part of their initial meeting too, but my curiosity about unknowns would still have remained even if I had remembered that.

side note: is having a really bad memory considered a talent? j/k

I do kind of wish there was a real version of Ebenezar's book, I'm so curious how he would have written it. One of those cool lore things that would look nice on the shelf right next to all my Dresden Files books :) I don't suppose there are any excerpts from it in the rest of the series?

and thank you g33k for the warning. I've been trying not to look at anything else in here, but I figured the answer to my question would probably involve at least some knowledge from future books, so I didn't want to accidentally release a spoiler in the wrong part of the forum for others.

DF Spoilers / Question regarding people with some skill (like the ones that create a "spark")

MAEN, all :)

I'm only part way through book 7 at the moment, but I'm curious about people Harry meets who give off that little spark of "This person has some kind of magical talent". If they don't know they have it until after they meet him, and then ask him about it, would he direct them to someone or to certain books or anything if they wanted to learn more about cultivating whatever talent they might have? I was thinking about how he felt that spark when he met Shiela at Bock Owned Books and was wondering if she asked him for help figuring out her ability, what he would tell her. Granted, I haven't finished the book yet, or the rest of the series obviously, but am just insanely curious about that information and am hoping someone could tell me :)

Thank you for reading my inquiry.

MAEN!
Welcome to the boards  :)
I have disappointing news for you. As far as I know, the answer to your question is a "no". At least, I am sure that JB himself does not do that, and I did not hear of any account doing it. I am sorry. But you could ask a question in the DF Spoilers section and ask the community to tell you what they think that Dresden's answer would be. I believe it could be fun! Of course, if you had not read all the books, ask the question in the DF books section, not the spoiler one, and make clear in the first post until what book you have read.

I thought it was probably a long shot, but thank you for the suggestion! I will probably try that, I agree that it could be fun :)

MAEN, all  :)

I'm new here to the boards; I've been researching where to find more information about the world of Dresden and this seemed to be the best place. I've read the stickied topics regarding rules and Don'ts and such, which eventually led me here to the Bar, and then to the Weird. To be honest, I only have one question that I haven't been able to find an answer to, whether on Jim's websites or just googling in general. To that end, I've come here in the hopes maybe someone who has been around the fandom for a long time would have an answer.

If I wanted to ask Harry himself for advice, was there ever a fan mail option where Jim would offer Harry's insight into the questions? Or maybe a fan-run option for something similar? I've seen various authors who will sometimes respond as the characters for I guess an "immersive experience", but I haven't found mention of anything like that for the Dresden Files series.

Thank you for making this forum for fans to gather, and thank you for taking time to read my inquiry.
