Call to Floaters/Disentanglers fluent in the Dresdenverse. by Hardric on 2016-06-11 09:50:00 UTC Reply

And by fluent, I mean having read Butcher's series up to the last main book, Skin Game. (The fic only dates back from 2009, with the 11th book, Turn Coat, published, so that much knowledge could work too, but paranoia.)

I found a Dresden Files crossover, and I would like to a mission ou of it, especially given the fact that the DF's canon get mucked up in the very first chapter. The main character is a OC, but he manages to get Harry OC with one phone conversation.

Oh, the other part of the crossover?

It's Twilight. Now, I read these things too (what was I thinking?), but I guess knowledge of these things would be needed too.

Anyways, here's the link to the story. If a cowrite interest you, you can post it there, or mail me However, I'll warn you, it's not something I intend to do before quite a time, because I've got many other things to do for now.

Now, if you read it, and think it wouldn't do for a good mission, feel free to tell it too.

Hey Hardric, I'm slightly interested in the Dresden Files... by Silenthunder on 2016-06-11 23:46:00 UTC Reply

But could you convince me why I should read them? I'm sure that you as a fan would make a pretty convincing case why. ;) You have been challenged!

How about this? by Data Junkie on 2016-06-12 12:12:00 UTC Reply

There is a cat that scares off several supernatural baddies, and a dog that fights spirits and demons.

You forgot one critter. by Hardric on 2016-06-12 18:31:00 UTC Reply

Granted, it's a one-story one, but it's clearly the biggest.

Like they say, it's pretty much like this all the time.

Oh right, how could I forget Sue? (nm) by Data Junkie on 2016-06-12 18:43:00 UTC Reply

Because she glomped you before you could talk about her? by Hardric on 2016-06-12 18:46:00 UTC Reply

Or you were to busy hearing polka. Your choice.

A challenge? Bah. by Hardric on 2016-06-12 04:46:00 UTC Reply

This world imply difficulty. Convincing someone that a series with great first person, a snarky and awesome main character and a cast just of the same quality around, said protagonist having to use his wits just as much, more in fact, as his powers to win the day, with many pop culture references ready to go in most circumstances, and an hint of pragmatism (the Head of Darth Wannabe when Dresden answered to his 'callenge' by pointing his gun at him XD), great world-building, supernatural monsters who can still look like the traditional deal while many of them have got some changes rejunaveting the archetypes, a escalade in the crazy awesome through the series, and a credible one to boot, emotional moments varying for heart-melting to tear-fountain, with the funny also present and so many other things is worth reading isn't a challenge in any way I can think about. You're already a fan of the Dresden Files, only thing left is beginning to read them.

Now, the only weak spot I can think about is perhaps a slow start with the very first books, but they're still great read. Investigations won't be the main focus of the rest of the series though.

Oh boy by Data Junkie on 2016-06-11 13:33:00 UTC Reply

So I haven't read past the synopsis and the disclaimer, but hooboy. If Meyerpires were an actual breed of vampires in the Dresdenverse, they would basically be bullied into non-existence by the other four courts, especially the Red and Black. At least Meyerwolves actually fit with one of the forms of werewolves in the Dresdenverse, so that's not a huge problem. This is gonna be a mess isn't it?

They got nicknamed the Rose Court in the first chapter. by Hardric on 2016-06-11 14:13:00 UTC Reply

I think it's bad sign the author couldn't use pink for the pun.

I mean... by Data Junkie on 2016-06-11 14:25:00 UTC Reply

I suppose Rose is just as valid as Jade, but why not go with Diamond? I mean isn't that what they're made of? I'll admit my knowledge of Twilight is limited to the movies because there were so many grammar and punctuation errors in the first book I couldn't make it past five pages, but they certainly looked like they were made of diamond or maybe marble when they were being killed off in the last movie.

Funny you should mention that. by Hardric on 2016-06-11 14:54:00 UTC Reply

A fansite providing resources for the DF RPG made something of the Meyerpires while they were saying they overpowered themselves in this piece of propaganda, and they are called Diamond Court Vampires here, with a vulnerability to electricity.

It's a small multiverse.
