I love how he drops that little bit of bait about the Young Adult series of Mouse and Maggie. xD I get the feeling he was sort of feeling out the audience to see if it was something they would be interested in reading. I'd love to see that series, and I hope he does it eventually.

@@Shadethewolfy I mean kind of? The impression I got from the various times he's discussed it, was that he was debating like an actual series. Not just 1 story. I doubt it would be a 20 novel series like the Dresden Files, but at least a few books? He's never really said anything definitive about it, just that it was an idea that he had bouncing around in his head, and was curious how the audience would receive it. That was a very good story though.

At the beginning. Roger Zelazny. King of smartass characters. Butcher has inherited the title. Recently Butcher mentioned on the subject inspiration, he was rereading Chronicles of Amber. And realizing in retrospect how influenced he was. Which makes sense because how much AmberMUSH he played while writing some of those. I guess he comes by it honestly. Getting beat up as a kid a lot, at least partially for his smartass mouth. Interesting guy, and coming into mastery over the past decade. Or really maybe after he finished Codex Alera. I appreciate his work as much, and maybe more than The Wheel of Time. May he write a thousand more books of such quality.

Thanks for posting this, it's great to have the chance to see Jim Butcher's Q&A sessions. In my opinion, though, it's a mistake to switch the focus back and forth between the speaker and the person asking the question. You can't really see anything of importance about the questioner aside from the back of their head, and the viewer ends up getting distracted by all the switching back and forth and zooming in and out. You lose time on the speaker, while gaining nothing from watching the questioner.

+god0fgames100 It seems to be an enforced part of Harry's first-person narration as a consequence of his flaws, and incidentally becomes less and more prominent depending on his relationship status at the start of any given book. Butcher's other series and stories in the Dresden Files from other characters' viewpoints are noticeably lacking in Harry's sexually frustrated purple prose, which I personally found rather compelling in retrospect.

1:28:30 or so in - movie rights. I don't dare get my hopes up. Because the last thing in the world I would expect Hollywood to do with the Dresden series is to film Storm Front, then film Fool Moon, then film Grave Peril, etc. No no no - they will pick the one they think will make the best movie, and they'll toss in bits and pieces from around the the other stories, and that's what we'll get. If we start a pool on this, my money is on them picking Dead Beat for movie #1. Hollywood will drool all over themselves over the idea of a dude riding around on the back of a T-Rex. It's ironic, because Hollywood is supposedly absolutely ravenous for good "movie franchises." Well, Dresden would make a great one - in my opinion one of the best ever. But ONLY IF YOU DO IT RIGHT.

Only a few years late, but: His friends complaint of the book was "all the ladies cry" which I would assume to mean that they are all portrayed as victims in some sense, deprived of power and forced into moments of vulnerability. This could be said not to be the case of the male cast, as Marcone for example is never forced into a moment of weakness. And he wanted butcher to convince her to keep reading in spite of that, perhaps to prove that the women aren't simply made to be in distress.
