    Jim Butcher is doing an AMA on reddit in about an hour. Get your shit in now, faggots.

    Edit: I am aware this was posted in the cold days thread, but for people who avoid that shit to avoid spoilers, it is here as well.

    So I followed the link - do I just have to keep refreshing, or... what? Do I have to register or something?

    When it's all done, I'll copy everything over to the Word of God Thread, so don't worry about it either way.

    "The early history of Alera is pretty hideous anyway. Once the Romans got there, they basically had to turn themselves into a Baby Factory Death Cult to survive. Hideous stuff to contemplate. I don't like going there."

    That.. is pretty terrible to think about.

    Also interesting about how he's said that supernatural creatures can become human (in Dresden). No explanation how, just "case by case basis".

    Only some, and most definitely not. His words.

    I'd hazard a guess that Lash could become human at some point, Thomas too. Outright speculation would be that you had to have a soul in the first place to become human.

    This is a much more interesting quote, to me. It seems to imply that while the White God probably created the universe, he wasn't seen as such all the time. That opens up a lot of wiggle room for some mythology warping. Such as the Old Testament God not being the actual White God.

    Lots of room for fun there.

    Interesting answer to the question if we will see Oberon.

    Shame, really, because I was hoping that Harry will meet the guy who apparently decided to woo both Mab and Titania at the same time.
