286 ??? what are you  tlking about on it.
know its personal and against forum rules but humor me.


Drizzt, if you go to the "You know you're too into Dresden Files when..." thread, the explanation is all written out there under spoiler tags.

In fact, here: http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,14787.790.html

PS - I'm not sure how it's against forum rules...??
If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D

Are the Mendozas mentioned in 'Changes' related to Bony Tony Mendoza from 'Dead Beat'?

No, Changes is about the halfway point of the series. That makes around twelves more books.

The next book is Ghost Story and is supposed to come out next April.

There is a collection of short stories, called Side Jobs, slated to come out this fall. It also includes a novella called Aftermath, which is Murphy's POV and set 45 minutes after the end of Changes.

2.Why do you hate us?

I don't think he hate us. He just enjoy our suffering. Actually, causing small agonies to others is a way of love too.

Or I like to think of it like that.
‎"I did my best, but... I couldn't decide on a pose so I couldn't open my box weapon"
"Pose?"
"Don't all heroes who transform and magicians who cast spells have those? I'm the type of person for whom doing that is necessary".
"...I'm going to kill you. Or you can commit suicide here".

Jim is kind of like the Skavis, he feeds off of our wails of anguish when we read things like the last book of changes.  He doesn't hate us, he needs us.  And our wails.

If there was a fight between all people with M names, who would survive and would Mister be among them?

Here's a question: Why aren't vampire predator spirits left at the door when they cross a threshold? I mean, if the human part of Thomas can die with the demon part staying alive, why not the other way around?

Screams~

Oh my gods! Jim you horrible genious of a man! I kind of hate you while I, at the same time, worship the ground you walk on and light a candle in reverence to your Awesome.

Oh my dear goddess. Thank the gods for these boards or I would have gone crazy! I just finished the book, no one is around to talk to about it and oh my gods...

I think my head was about to explode from teh amount of crazy I was trying to hold in- as well as all the screaming. I am pretty sure, there at the end, i heard the howls of a million nerds as my soul had a sezuire.

Thank gods i read through this thread before I started posting- because I was literally about to FREAK OUT! It's just a halfway point, I think most of my crazy was banished with this knowlege- as well as after a frantic internet search that nearly lit my computer on fire that assured me a new book was coming.... In A YEAR!

Argh! I think I need to go molest someone to get all this excess energy out.

Takes a shaky breath~ I am a little better now.

So question- WHY ARE YOU SUCH A TEASE, JIM?

That is all.

Hey Jim, saw you at the 'Changes' signing in SoCal & forgot to ask you about this.

Way back in 'Death Masks (??) Shiro mentioned a 'Jade Court' of vampires. Will we ever get to 'see' them? All we got was that one little reference & I've been wondering about them ever since.

I think we have a comment from Jim elsewhere on the site to the effect that we won't see them before the big final trilogy. (Which is not a promise that we will see them then.)
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

"What do you mean, Lawful Silly isn't a valid alignment?"

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

This is just out of curiosity, but can you tell whether or not butters will find some powers? Because i kinda like that he is becoming more major character, bt has to survive on just wits, not police powers, or sword, or magic, or any such thing.

Though the "Jim is Lazy" postulate suggests that there is a reasonable chance they will make it in.
