Jim Butcher has a lot of interaction with his fans, including on these boards, and a huge amount of it has been archived in the
Word of Jim (WoJ) section of these boards. If you haven't visited them, I highly recommend you do, and in the context of Dresden Files Spoilers, I highly recommend you visit the "
DF WoJ compilation" which goes through a lot of trouble to list everything that Jim Butcher has said about the Dresden Files.
There are lots of recordings of Jim Butcher interviews, Q&A sessions, and panels that can only be found in audio or video formats. These are fun to watch/listen to (after all don't they say that 80% of all communication is non verbal or something like that?), but several people have voiced that they would enjoy text versions better, and others have expressed appreciation for transcriptions that have already been done because of hearing impairment or other reasons that make listening to them impractical.
There are a LOT of videos and audio clips though, and although I have done some of them, I have found out that a lot of our forum contributors are much more efficient at it. So if you wish to contribute to the effort, please post your work here, and I will put it in the WoJ forum as well as link to it in the interview list. Any help is appreciated by myself as well as everyone else that loves to read Word of Jim sources.
It is usually not necessary to point out things Jim Butcher has said on the Forums that are not in the WoJ area. Those are generally kept where they originate so that discussion can be continued, and I frequently check Jim's recent posts for them using his profile.

One more suggestionJim is a lot of fun to listen to, but when you transcribe what he says verbatum it sometimes comes out like this excerpt from the 2011 Marscon Q&A:
Um, and it…almost all of them come from stuff like that. Um, some characters are…I only needed for a minute, some characters that I only needed for a minute were actually too cool and I had to keep them.
But
Almost all of them come from stuff like that. Some characters that I only needed for a minute were actually too cool and I had to keep them.
Is much more easy to read, yet still stays true to what he was saying.
But doing editing like that might be one of the reasons why it takes me a bit longer to do these transcriptions compared to some other people. Any work is appreciated.
