Nic and the artifacts?

While we wait for another story, I thought I'd ask this: What are your top few things you look forward to learning the answers to from all the various topics we've discussed since this forum began?

Hi Folks---Hope you're well and enjoying the holidays.

We know Harry uses a revolver. I wonder if he would consider attaching something magical to the bullets he uses. There were the Dragon's breath loads he mentions in one of the books (A Kincade appearance, I believe). He seemed to think there were some cool possibilities. So, how about some magic bullets?

I guess the iron content could already be effective against the Fae, but what about other creatures? Maybe an Outsider?

What do you think?

Question: If you could have a prequel to the Dresden Files utilizing characters from the series (either known explicitly or only alluded to), who would you most want to see and why?

I think Maggie's (Mama Dresden) Adventures in the Never Never could be fun. What started as a mapping of the Ways would lead to all kinds of adventures. (Or maybe her adventures led to the mapping of the Ways.) And maybe along the way, we find out what makes Malcolm a truly good man.

Hope all are well here in the Dresden forum. Cheers---Brien

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?)

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?

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

I've been relistening to Grave Peril. At Bianca's party when Mavra appears on the stairs, she (it) mentions that she's glad they are finally meeting and they (Mavra and Harry) have a great deal in common and that they should talk.

“A pleasure,” Mavra whispered. “To meet you, at last, wizard. We should talk. I suspect we have much in common.”

With all the speculation about MM and the recent thread about Mavra and the Gray Council, I'm wondering about the possibility that Harry's decision that leads to MM is somehow connected to a conversation that he didn't have with Mavra in GP.

Possible thought...(and I think it's been suggested...) Mavra is Harry's grandmother (Eb's wife or lover). Explains Eb's hatred of vamps, Mavra's wizard skills and possible connection to WC--which suggests that others would know about Mavra (Listens to Wind, Martha, the Gatekeeper). Maybe, The Merlin and Eb were both in love with Mavra. (There always seems to be animosity between them). With all of the people in the know hesitant to discuss the Starborn stuff with Harry, it seems to me that there's more to the story than just a Starborn is this or that. (I know--obvious statement) With Starborn popping up all over the place, then maybe, Drakul's been manipulating things for a very long time to get to Harry's version of a Starborn, which could be waaaay scarier than other starborn. Makes me think of the Bene Gesserit in Herbert's Dune manipulating the bloodlines to get to the Kuizatz Haderach they want, but end of with something worse instead.

Ok. What do you think?
