This is really sad, but I have a whole Google Doc devoted to this. There are several gaps, but here’s who I have so far. They’re behind spoilers because I’ve embedded a ton of images.

Ooh, Denarian, I love your picks for the White Council. Plus George Takei as Shiro. Awesome. Plus, I've also always seen Josh Hutcherson (or Daniel Radcliffe) as Daniel Carpenter. Emma Stone would make a great Lily. And Laverne Cox - YES! And your pick for Inari is great, too.

Bilal - that's Geoff Bridges you're casting as Donar/Odin, right? Awesomely appropriate pics.

Griff - that guy would be perfect as Nicky.

Hell, mess up his hair a little more, don't let him shave for coupla days, and if he needcs 'em give him elevator shoes, and he's work for Harry...

+1!

Or Dina's Raith idea. That works, too.

I fear my question is too long for Twitters format, since it needs a little bit of set-up to make sense. I'd love to add my question to any compilation of them before the UK convention, if only someone can point me towards a thread or email adress where to direct it.  :)

I hope everything goes well with the baby and also (waves back) good to know that there are other people from Germany active here. :)

Thanks! :)

Keep your eyes peeled as we get closer to the date of Eastercon and someone will probably start up a thread!

Jim sometimes answers the odd question fans ask him on Twitter (not mine, but others') - @longshotauthor if you want to try. Before a couple of his recent convention appearances we also compiled lists of questions we hoped people would ask him - maybe we can do that again before the UK convention.

I live in Germany, too! (waves) and I won't be able to make it to Eastercon because I'll be about three days away from having a baby. ;)

Harry could get the info on to the internet

Are you forgetting that computers in Harry's vicinity, as a rule, go kaboom? Blue Screen of Death? Who'd believe a bunch of assertions without proof, apart from conspiracy-theorists like Butters's crazy friend Gary?

  I understand that, however would Lasciel have  continued to try to seduce Harry if she was a "he?"  That was my point..  So gender may matter, then again it may not.

Pshaw. Everyone knows only women are able to seduce, and it only works on men.

Good one with Kaley Cuoco for Molly - I could see that too! If she can pull off the complexity.

Christina Hendricks is buxom enough (and a redhead) to be Andi. Although she's quite a bit older than a college student... but I've cast her as Lea, too.

I hadn't really looked up Billy Burke before as a possible Harry, but now that I have I would say he has the sort of look I envision when I read the books.  I don't think the age is *that* big of an issue because of special effects and the fact that Harry probably looks rough for his age, even in Storm Front.

I like the looks, but I really can't square with the age difference. That actor is 10 years older than Harry's supposed to be now in Skin Game, which means he's nearly 25 years older than Storm Front Harry.

I think Harry might actually not look too beat-up for his age, especially considering wizardly recuperative powers. He's got more scars than most, but other than that, nah.

Is it possible the Conrinthians talks about the three swords? So maybe at the end of BAT, only the three swords will be what remains against entropy?

Or against Empty Night? Interesting, but tough to support considering that I thought Harry'd be involved, and don't see him wielding a Sword...

I'm telling you guys, Jim should hit the Continent. A trip from Berlin to the UK wouldn't be so bad under normal circumstances, but on April 3 I'll be a week away from having a baby.

Berlin is an awesome city, Jim!

Right guys, I found my perfect Dresden at a talk tonight here in Berlin. Ari Shapiro, NPR's international correspondent based in London. He looks young enough to start at Storm Front, even though he's 36.

He's just a tad too pretty, so he might have to be Thomas instead. What do you all think?

Not that he acts, but... check him out!

I'll have to look a bunch of these people up when it's not so close to bedtime, but I wanted to point out these two as real "OooOOOoooh!" moments. Nice thoughts!

Mavra - Helena Bonham Carter - She dirties up perfectly for the role
Steed - Tom Hiddleston - come on, he's perfect for it

Only thing is that Tom Hiddleston is already dreamcast in my mind as Thomas. But if he weren't, then yes. Or how about Benedict Cumberbatch for Steed?

It depends. usually he had beta's reading it as he goes, so only the new parts need to be read. since it's the conclusion, he might just send it to the editor.

editing and publishing has taken anywhere from 3 months to 6, depending on how busy the printers are. is he sends it in by the end of November, editing could  done by the end of December, depending on schedules and holidays, it could be March or spring.

I hope it's March! I'll have nothing to do as I gotta stop working 6 weeks before my due date in April :)

"YA"?  Look, it's bad enough we have to remember all the abbreviations associated with the books, but figuring them out for the rest of the wide world of entertainment is asking a bit much.

YA's been around since I was a YA, at least, MLC. In a place no less venerable than the library. Careful, you're starting to sound crotchety... ;)

Have I or anyone else ever mentioned Felicia Day? I really want to see her as one of the Alphas. Georgia or Marcy, I think. (I'd also suggest Andi, especially since she has the red hair for it, but Harry and even Murphy have brought up her body type soooo maaaany tiiiiimes in all the books and stories, and Felicia doesn't have it. *shrug*)

Come to think of it, Christina Hendricks could play Andi, then. Kinda perfectly. Anyway, here's Felicia Day:
