This gets so much win

JB keeps saying that he enjoyed writing the Dinosaur the best, but I wonder if you put the question in this context if he would have the same answer.

Actually, I think that quote may be saying more then he meant (or maybe he did mean to).
He is building up the entire DV just so he can have fun destroying it :P

It's like making a huge, tall tower of a cool lego city and knocking it over.

Personally, I never could understand why so many people like to destroy things they created. I hate it.

For the same reason a lot of people like to see apocaliptic movies (just to clarify, I'm one of them~): it's fun. And not only in a gore kind of way, because the destruction reach everything. It's so cool, specially if YOU'RE the one destroying it (that would guarantee you don't get "destroyed" too). The special effects in one's mind help to make things more shiny *__*.

Or maybe I'm weird.

Anyway, this isn't exactly "destroying". Jim's still creating his universe, his story. But for that story to work, some things (inside the story itself) need to be destroyed. It isn't the same as throwing your work to the garbage can. He's creating and destroying at the same time ;D.

Seeing apocalyptic movies is different because you didn't built the world that is destroyed.
Ad just to clarify, I don't think you are weird. I think I am the "rare" persona who don't like to destroy her work. Anyway, I see your point about Jim, but I was talking in general, not specifically for the Dresden Files.

Ack, what have I done?  I like the side topic, but I'm going to try to redirect, and hope this topic sticks to mostly links to new JB goodies :D

Oh, I haven't seen that before, thanks for posting it.

Have listened to three interviews:
http://www.dragonpage.com/2007/04/30/cover-to-cover-260/
 Ahh, so it's due to Star Wars he wants a big apocalyptic trilogy.

http://www.dragonpage.com/2008/04/29/cover-to-cover-307a/
(click to show/hide)
Interesting to now that he had about 20 ideas one idea for each book and that sometimes it is replaced with a better idea.
The podcast also tells the story behind his picture in the back of the books.
CoH is mentioned as well,.

http://www.dragonpage.com/2010/05/03/cover-to-cover-406a/
(click to show/hide)

I think one of these podcasts is linked to in the first post, but the other two weren't.

All text behind black spoiler, is Changes spoilers.

Magnus just posted this on another thread. I don't see it here yet, so thought I'd add it in.

One question, one answer, and a Head Trip anecdote.

Quote from: Magnus on September 16, 2010, 07:36:06 PM
http://vimeo.com/14833260 <-- well he says here that he put stuff  in Storm Front that won't come out  until the end trilogy. (Video of a Question from Dragon*Con 2010)

If you haven't seen the comic he's talking about, it's: http://headtripcomics.comicgenesis.com/d/20100414.html even funnier than Jim makes it out to be.

Well, perhaps Santa is one of the things that will come only in the trilogy.

^Much like The Jade Court Vampires and any detailed background info regarding Mac.

That's cool though, I'm on-board for the long haul at this point.

Thanks for posting the podcasts.

Okay, someone else linked this from another thread, but it belongs here too:

Dragon*Con 2010 interview, in 6 parts:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxM6fMxNLbw&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwntUFzPW_U&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_CEAHF6a-Q&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmlxwr29UmY&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfG2ZIdYdr4&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atQi6Qez3y8&feature=related

The question and answer about the Kings of Faerie is at about 6:00  in section 5.
And the one about the RPG's level of 'cannon' is at about 4:15 in section 6.
