Random Fandom Squee.

Where's my Harry Dresden-mun when I need them?

*two-thirds of the way through Storm Front*

I need someone to blather to. Also I blame you for the fact that I only see David James Elliot as Dresden though I see the book character as slightly less pretty?.

Still.

HEE.

Mwehee.

You could squee to me if you want.

[badinlatin]

I normally dislike first person.

Strike 'dislike'. Add 'hate'.

WHY DO I LOVE IT HERE?

And I <3 Karrin. Cuz I can't call her Murphy for some reason.

The 1st person gives it this sort of...whimsy? Immediacy? -shrug- I dunno.

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure why I like it so much either... but it does make storytelling interesting when you only know what the character knows.

And yes, Murphy rocks. :D

[badinlatin]

Susan the reporter lady is getting to me though. She's a character I've seen before.

I was so mad when the toad-demon didn't eat her, except for the fact that Harry would probably go severely emo. D:

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

Heh. Well, all I can say about that is that Things Will Happen in future books.

[badinlatin]

Oh I'm sure.

Damnit I didn't need another Thing What To Obsess Over.

WHY IS THERE NO MORGAN IN BAR?

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

It's the Stealth Fandom. It sneaks up on you. :D

I DON'T KNOW.

[badinlatin]

Do you have any idea where Harry is in canon, milliways-wise?

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. You'd have to ask his mun.

[badinlatin]

I just have this horrible image of Morgan just like, lurking about with a sword in his hands and a stick up his butt trying to ignore the fact that there is far weirder shit in Milliways than he's used to.

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

*snorft* I dunno... some pretty weird shit goes down as the series goes on. :D

[badinlatin]

How many books are there? *goes to look up*

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

There are eight so far. the ninth comes out in April.

*convenient link for you* (http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden)

[badinlatin]

Ohhh man. *giggles*

This is bad.

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

*eyes precarious pile of paperbacks*

You're telling me. XD

[capt_angie]

*giggles* I blame her for exactly the same thing XD

[badinlatin]

Just...*laughs*

I did not need this my last semester of college.

[capt_angie]

*pets* It gets worse. The more you read, the more hooked you become. Welcome to the club :)

[wizard_dresden]

*sneaks about stealth-like*

The Harry-mun is at work where things are evil and she cannot do fun things like talk at people.

However - the Harry-mun leaves work in an hour and should be home by 1800 EST.

The Harry-mun, at one point, was going to play Morgan, but didn't b/c he had only been in one book. Harry-mun might be playing tv!Morgan in another game b/c 2 Dresden pups inna head is more than enough.

As far as where Harry is in canon - he's somewhere beyond the first couple chapters of "Proven Guilty" (Book 8) - and he's kind of just been lurking / lounging since then. (I also play Bob the skull - b/c the two just go together. Actually - I played Bob first and brought Harry in later.)

And no, I do NOT regret playing these characters and throwing these books at everyone I can find. *G*

Yeah - Harry's slightly 'less pretty' than DJE, but I cast book!Harry before the show was in production and cast and as much as I love James Marsters, I'm too lazy to doctor all the shots of him blond. Plus - DJE has the right look for being TALL (Harry's 6'8").

Typically I'm not a fan of 1st person either, but the way Harry's written - it WORKS. Mostly b/c it's like the old detective stories, but w/o the wacky lingo. *g* The opening lines to "Storm Front" are still some of my favorite lines from any of the books.

And - more about Morgan - uh - you learn more about him later. ;) He's a great character.

Did I hit everything from the post and comments?

[badinlatin]

Y HALLO THAR.

You and I should talk, really.

Aheh.

I <3 this book.

[wizard_dresden]

bwah!

I mean - uh - good. Yeah - that's it. Good that you lurve the book! :)

once i return to the land of the place where i have IM programs you can attempt to ping me on piece of shitAIM -> hghlnder2 or on Y!M -> gotr_highlander_ii

barring that... my gmail addy works all the time -> highlander (dot) ii (at) gmail (dot) com

*goes back to work*

[crazedcrusader.livejournal.com]

You can blather at me, as I've read all the books.

And have the e-books.

:D?

[badinlatin]

Oh DO you now.

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

I do! Most of the paper ones, as well, but all of the e-books.

[i_vanquish_evil]

Ok - but if you borrow the books, you then must become a 'Bookstore Commando'!

*is harry-mun incognito*

[badinlatin]

If I knew what bookstore commando meant, I'd totally do it. :D

[i_vanquish_evil]

bwahahahahaha!

Lots of things, but typically, a) getting your local bookstore to carry the books - if they don't already; b) "facing" the books they do carry; c) putting the Dresden books in high-traffic areas or on endcap displays; d) convincing random customers in the store that they cannot possibly walk out without at least one copy of "Storm Front"!

What *I* do - I buy copies of "Storm Front" and give them to my friends. BEST ADVERTISING TOOL EVER! Just ask half of the ppl who play at Milliways that I've met! :) And quite a few that I haven't!

[winterladym.livejournal.com]

Ahem.

I happen to know just how you feel.

:)

[dramawench.livejournal.com]

DUDE. I started reading those books a month ago and I am almost finished with the series. SO DAMN GOOD!

And James Marsters reads the audio books and he is so fantastic.

[notsoyoung.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, I utterly blame H2.

Worst best influence EVAR. Stupid Dresden :P So addictive.
