I just got done re-reading Blood Rites and man, I am on a Dresden Files high right now. :D There is just no point whatsoever in writing fanfic for this series; it's all right there in the text. I mean, this book alone is an h/c lover's paradise, and it's just one book out of twelve! (Admittedly one of the more button-pushing ones, but nearly every book has at least one scene that totally sends me into raptures of squee. I am not sure how he does it, but Butcher plays my little fangirl heart like a finely tuned instrument. :D) Also: box of puppies! ^_^

For my own reference - current list of fannish commitments (which hasn't changed much since last check-in):

1.

spook_me (A:tLA, due Oct. 26)
Status: Did some research. Wrote a little. I'd, um, better work on this, if I'm going to finish it at all before the deadline. (It's a low-pressure ficathon, no penalty for dropping out, but I liked both the ideas I had, and I wanted to finish at least one of them, darn it.)

2.

sheppard_hc secret santa (SGA, 3000-wd minimum, due Dec. 21-Jan. 3)
Status: Brainstorming. Did some research. Stuck.

3.

sga_santa (SGA, 1000-wd minimum, due Dec. 10)
Status: Got my assignment; thinking about it.

4.

yuletart (due Nov. 23)
Status: Got my assignment; thinking about it.

5. Yuletide (1000-wd minimum, due Dec. 21)
Status: Signups not open yet.

Other stuff: h/c bingo fics.

astridv's Finders AU for help_haiti. Would like to do a chaptered story, but don't really see having the time in the near future. Still planning to do NaNo!

ETA: Heeeeee ... looking back through my old Dresden Files posts, I just came across my very first conversation with Naye in the comments to a (spoilery) Book 8 post from 2007. Um, wow, it's only been three years? Wow.

That reminds me! Side Jobs is waiting for me at the bookstore. :D

(Box of puppies! Still possibly my favorite thing in the books. ♥)

BOX OF PUPPIES. Fat little demon-hunting foo-puppies! ♥ I actually kind of miss the days when Mouse was small enough for Harry to carry him around in a coat pocket. :D (And, oh, that makes me think of what Mouse said to Lea in "Changes", about Harry: "He didn't win me. I won him." Oh ... books. :D)
