What about crowd sourcing ideas to get Peace Talks jumpstarted?

[Stonebreaker]

After fifteen books, I wouldn't be surprised if Jim was having a major case of writer's block/burnout.  I harbor no illusions about ever being an author of fiction, and the Dresden Files are right up there with Niven's Ringworld books IMHO; so I have no problem donating any ideas I come up with for free with no strings attached.  I'll even start:

1) Harry's daughter moves in with him.

justine is carrying twins. thomas names them eros and anteros or, with a modern spin, eric and anthony.

Harry, at Mab's bidding is placed in charge of security for the talks.

[Griffyn612]

Tapped as the local representatives of their perspective factions of the Domestic Accords, Mouse and Mister must host peace talks that aim to bring about a renewed armistice between the Canine and Feline Courts.  But peace is hard to obtain under the best of circumstances, and these are far from ideal.

With Cat Sith, one of the highest ranking Felines of the Court, still missing in action, hackles are raised across the peternatural community. Some of Sith's peers suspect foul play, while certain packtions of the Canine Court still believe the Felines to be responsible for the pupnapping several years back.

Mouse and Mister will have to fight tooth and nail to prevent an all-out war from breaking out, or the world they know might very well be torn... to kibble and bits.

And the toads become an additional fly in the ointment due to many of their brothers and sisters being rained on Chicago in Summer Knight.

They're definitely not over it.  And it doesn't help that Mouse and Mister lived with the guy that killed the toad demon that also happens to be high on their hierarchy.

[Rasins]

And the toads haven't forgotten that MAN with the properly colored eyes, green, who killed the Major frog lord, while the lord was properly chasing that FEMALE.

As such, the toads continue to provide reports to the lords of the great ponds, waiting for the day when the lords will bring justice to the MAN.

Harry is assaulted in his new digs by two goons but they soon figure out it is a case of mistaken identity as another man named Harry Dresden owes their employer an extreme amount of money.  Before they leave the two goons decide to teach Harry a lesson for his smart-assery and pee on his rug.  Harry then sets out to meet this other, wealthy, Harry Dresden and get his rug replaced.

All while keeping his bowling average really high.

I feel bad for Donnie Butters.

Meanwhile, the Marine Association thinks both sides are pathetic, so they send the Otters to represent them as a calculated insult, knowing full well they won't be able to focus for more than a few minutes on the proceedings.

At least the White Council of Wildlife will be represented by the wise and worldly Little Brother and Tara West, both of whom share an affection for Mouse and Mister's former Butler.

I expect Lara to try and put the lust whammy on Harry and Mab having to remind her that Dresden is "my b!+<#."

[SerScot]

Harry and a crew of misfits get fired into space to prevent an Asteroid from hitting the planet.  The conflict is Harry trying to work magic without destroying the spacecraft he is in while stopping the asteroid.

Molly walks in on Harry and Murphy having body-cast sex. Harry tries to explain to little Maggie how she was conceived.
