Skin Game Interview gathering topic

[Russtronic]

From my point of view JB stuck Harry in an INSANE situation with no powers and let him dig himself out.

You seem to be pretty attached to this idea that that one detail of Skin Game applies to what Jim said in that interview, but A, Jim explicitly said, "wind up in an insane asylum with no magic."  B, he described this as the premise of an outline for a book.  For Skin Game, the premise was the heist.  You are discussing a small detail.

Oh, on another note, I just added a link in the OP to another interview I just found:

he wants to have Dresden in an insane asylum with no magic. 

And then Harry will have to escape using his charm and intellect... okay, he's there for good.

[Russtronic]

I was talking about Harry as a Spirit. Not about "Skin Game".. It was just a muse about Harry's first take on the situation.

If Ghost Story wasn't Harry stuck in an Insane Asylum without his powers I dont know what is.

Yea, unless Jim was being literal when he made that statement, I thought Ghost Story crossed off that scenario.  I mean Jim may have actually written in his notebook that he wanted Harry to wake up without powers in an insane asylum, but Ghost Story feels like a reasonable adaptation of that idea.

Thank You. That is how I perceived it from the start.

I want to make sure I get this uncorroborated WoJ down.  Unfortunately there were no good recordings of the Skin Game Mysterious Galaxy signing, so we have no recording of the actual words said.

I got to ask Jim about Harry making Soul Fire enhanced gear, since it's literally the most obvious thing to do with Soul Fire. and the response I got was pretty much exactly what I suspected.
Per Jim, making something out of Soul Fire would have the same vulnerabilities as having one's blood out to grab all the time, but worse. At the same time, Jim said that Harry's just dumb enough to try it. Jim said that Soul Fire would be perfect for creating stuff, since that's what its purpose it, but he also went into a little spiel about how profound the act of creation is, and how that would have unforeseen consequences for years to come.
I'm really really hoping that either I hit on a plot point that hasn't come up yet, or that I gave Jim an idea that he'll at least address the issue in text.

Cheers! First post on this board (though I've been lurking for a couple of years by now).

Is there some public schedule which podcasts Jim is going to appear on next? In one of the last two podcasts posted, the interviewer asked fan questions and I have this one question I've been burning to ask Jim for a couple of years now. Since I live in Germany, it's kind of hard to get a chance to talk to him otherwise (and, yes, I know he is going to be in England next year... that's still far away and expensive to visit).

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.

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.

Just found this one from september that apparently isn't here.
