LOL. The some poster said before thee, "First rule about faerie maid service, DON'T TALK about faerie maid service!"

I really like the whole faerie maid service idea. I would buy one of those. Definitely.

I also like the opening from Death Masks:

Front: Some thing's judst aren't meant to go together. Things like oil and water. Orange juice and toothpaste. Wizards and television.

Back: The Dresden Files.

Or, hell. A t-shirt that says Blackstaff of the White Council.

Mmmkay, if it wasn't obvious enough, but the hell with it, I'm gonna say it anyways. I'M JEALOUS! That map sounds badass. I can't speak for myself, but you must definitely get a warm fuzzy feeling when your favorite author recognizes you. I bow down to your fandom. *Bows down*. "I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy."

Yeah I was one of those losers that never read one of the books until I saw the series  . Watched series. Got hooked. Bought books... ALL of them at the time, and in the course of 2 months I went from Storm Front to White Knight. I caught Dresden fever and literally almost got into a accident speeding my way to Barnes and Noble to pick up Small Favor all along with a grin on my face... laughing like a maniac. But I digress.. I finished Small Favor today and was blown away. Worth every minute of the agonizing wait. I'm currently in cold turkey mode after finishing it.

But yes, the joy you get of inflicting/inflicted the love of a new author is a drug. Since I started reading the series, I've gotten 3 people hooked on it  .

Now, I know how Xander feels around Dracula. i'm officially Jim Butcher's Buttmonkey
