Word of advice: Not a good idea to post Fanfiction on these boards, especially something based on a Jim Butcher world.
Speaking as someone who has writen fanfiction, it is not a good idea to post any fanfic story where the author of the original story has any chance to see it. I know of one author who had to scrap her novel she was writing, because someone posted a fanfic based in her universe that was too simular to the novel she was writing. She also forbid any fanfics based in her universe until recently.
It's a legal thing --- If I was to post a Dresden Files fanfic to these boards, and it happens that the story was simular to a story Jim was writing, I could claim he plagerized my story. Now, Jim has to spend time and money in a court case, defending himself on a false charge, Not a good thing.
(For the record, I don't write Dresden Files fanfiction, or much fanfiction these days. When I did, I was writing in the areas of anime and Battletech.)
