This is a delightful thread, especially since I've had trouble using google to hunt down topics on here.

I seek as much info as possible that deals with Nicodemus's knowledge of Nemesis.

I put together the major instances of Nicodemus talking about the BC in Serack's thread on cataloging some of the prophetical conversations.  It's not really a discussion thread, but if you're just looking for information, it should fit the bill.

Perfect! That was exactly what I was searching for, and I followed the trail of bread crumbs to the analysis of SmF in light of CD. Butcher truly never ceases to amaze me with the way he manipulates Harry and keeps him in the dark, an unreliable narrator: note how Harry assumes that 'contamination' = a member of the Church taking up a Denarius, but after CD, Nic's comments make far more sense as describing Nemesis. Dresden is so fixated on Denarians at the moment, and knows nothing of Nemesis, so his logic, which is based on a flawed premise, leads him to an answer that is far too limited in its scope. Most importantly, Nicodemus neither confirms nor denies Harry's assumption; rather, Nick's remark about common interests makes perfect sense in light of what we know about Nemesis and Empty Night.
I can just imagine Christmas dinners. LOL

I don't even know which thread would address this.... Mab or Molly thread. 

In Cold Days, Mab said she was once human...which means she had a soul.
But, in Winter Knight, Harry says he's not worried about 'soulgazing' Mab because she is Fae and doesn't have one... So what happened to it?  Did it go bye-bye with her Free Will?

Early Woj seems to say Fae don't have it ... they can't act out of character...seemed to be reinforced in Cold Days.  But, isn't Mab's choosing of Harry as Winter Knight sort of a Free Will decision?

Where is it best to discuss this Soul/Free Will/Human-to-Fae issue since it affect both Molly and Mab (and probably other characters) ... I'm sure the topic is out there somewhere...likely in multiple threads.... help....  :-\

I well I am embarrassed, I can’t find the threads I know to exist. I would like a few Dresden Files–like reading suggestions please.

Seems I can’t get out of being dragged along to the Mall of American this weekend with a gaggle of female family members. So I will likely just park myself in Barns and Noble and do some reading while the womenfolk shop.

Thanks people.

I listed some good reads in this recent topic and included a link to the 28 page sticky in the media forum that is dedicated to this subject.

Is there a thread already out there discussing how Aurora got infected by Nemesis as it seems she must have been....and whether it could have been Elaine doing the infecting? 

It is a WAG of mine and I'm not sure if someone has already have it before I take the time to expound on it....wonder if it is already out there.  :-\

Lilylis-- I think I remember on Elegast's Index of Theories thread that he has an entry for the theory that Elaine carried the infection to Aurora. I cant remember whether its under Aurora, Elaine, Infection or Nemesis. But you should be able to find it there. A lot of the theories there have a link to the thread with theory in it. I dont know if he's got a link for the Aurora-Elaine theory but its worth a look. Sorry I couldnt be more specific

Yes. It comes from an old thread by Serack, there's only a single line concerning Elaine, so starting a new one would make sense.

If a previous discussion has been autolocked due to being more than a few months old and you want to discuss something that had been mentioned therein, starting a new converstation is great.

Eventually, that topic will probably be moved into the DFRC, and even if it were not locked, if you just wanted to discuss a narrow aspect of that topic, it is better to do so within a new topic in the general spoilers section because that is where new discussion should be taking place. 

I guess the key word here is "recent."  Starting new topics is generally only discouraged when there are already recent, active discussions on the same subject.

Hi! What I am looking for is a topic that handles the fact that Outsiders are eveything that come from beyond the border of faerie.
According to Harry NN is friggin massive and faerie is only the part closest to mortal world, it stands to reason most of the NN is considered to be outside. There most likely is a topic about this somewhere. Halp?

There have been tons of topics about Mother Summer's and Mother Winter's names, but has any1 seen a topic where they have included the snake and the hawk that appear in mantles of the ladies in the discussion?

Hey, with the revelations about the nature of Nemesis and when it infected particular people, I was wondering if there are any threads looking back at Lea's behavior after contamination?  I just finished rereading GP tonight, and realized it may have been painfully obvious that Lea had been changed from before to after the party.

I haven't noticed a thread specifically dealing with Lea and her Nemesis infection.  At least for the past few weeks or so.
