    Someone on the official Jim Butcher forums showed me this forum's "Word of God Thread" today and I'm amazed that I hadn't seen it before.

    I have put a great deal of effort into finding everything I can that Jim has said about the Dresden Files, and organizing it for reference purposes, and I sure wish I knew that this resource was here when I started late in 2010.

    The fruit of my labor is found here in my "Dresden Files WoJ Compilation." And I have put together a list of interview and Q&A links here

    Off to scour the Word of God Tread for anything I might have overlooked :)

    Hi Serack! Nice to see you here; I'm the other WoJ guy. It's not very organized, thought, largely because I pretty much just grabbed every source I could find and put it in there for the people on this site way back in March 2010, when you Compilation didn't exist and not a lot of people could be troubled with hunting things down. Hope it helps!

    I joined the JB forums after they started deleting posts that were over a year old. At the time they archived most of Jim's posts in the WoJ section, but not every single one of them. I've already found one WoJ that I've never seen before because you archived it here it got autodeleted because it was so brief and was deemed not worth archiving.

    I've got a LOT of reading to do :p

    ...Why would anyone do that? And double WTF for not archiving the text first. :(

    The server was becoming unstable. The guy that runs the place only has the revenue generated from his official JB amazon merchant website to keep things running smooth. I joined right after a horrible crash in mind 2010, and there was another one this month, which makes a small sample base for a mean time failure rate of 1.5 years.

    Apparently there are sections that don't "decay." A prime example is the "I made an art" section which contains pics of cosplay, as well as people's fanfics.

    Ok, it was nice to read someone else's compilation of Jim Butcher posts. I actually came across 4 that I hadn't included in my compilation that I thought probably should be there.

    Now I have to finish getting everything from the GS signings into the compilation.

    This. Especially if its shit about a series/author you've designed your shit around. I can understand fan-submitted theories, stories, et al. But when the author drops in and says shit... Back it up. On a usb drive. And hide it in the back of a dead guy's throat. D:

    I bet you haven't even googled DLP's address to find other sites that talk about DLP.

    Guess what I just did?

    So, I found Our Web Of Trust ratings. Apparently, we're 98% trustworthy, but only 48% child safe.

    Google has spoken DLP: 2% pedophiles, with just under half being child rapists. So go one. Bring your kids. Chances are DLP will ask before we fuck them. :awesome

    Yes. Irene was such a sweet child. Then she came here.

    Isn't that the story of every DLP member? You come to DLP, someone asks you "How do you defend yourself from two dildos?" And you stare dumbly thinking "What is a dildo and why would you need to defend yourself from one?"

    Six weeks later, you are the one asking someone else that question. And when they answer "...what?" You find yourself responding with an angry "Wrong! The answer is bacon!"

    You can just stop going outside after that point. You've already become a monster who only lives to destroy the innocence and morality of others.


    ...err... I mean... Wut? D: Who is Irene...
