[donutsweeper]

This is probably old news to most of my flist, but just in case anyone is as behind as I am

jimbutcher, author of the Dresden Files series and others, has an LJ page!  It's not updated too frequently, but there are some interesting posts on the art of writing.

*nods* but just in this case!

if people went around making sense all the time, where would that get us? just imagine!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

we'd never have quoteable quotes for icons!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

that would be so sad!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

what's your icon from?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Dresden Files... no idea which book, though.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It is very Harry. He's so eloquent! *snerk*

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Ab-so-lu-tely! *beams brightly*

I could never get that level of snark to work for a character

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Neither could I. I'm just not that snarky. But it's absolutely awesome!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

me neither. I could probably manage the occasional one-liner, but never sustain it through a whole set of books

[chatona.livejournal.com]

nope. 's one of the things I love so much about the dresden files, too!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and it has so much canon and it all works, even the littlest details

[chatona.livejournal.com]

He's just a fantastic character *loves*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

they all are- Murphy, Mac, even Mouse and Mister- he has the coolest pets!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I love his pets! They're awesome. I just. I really, really love the books and the characters and. They're just all wonderful ♥

*squees all over the place*

there's a short scene in the newest book where Harry's leaving and tells Mouse to keep an eye on Mister and not to let him play with the catnip too much. Mouse whines at him and Harry says- come on, you're 7x bigger than him... and Mouse just looks back at him completely unconvinced. it's great

[chatona.livejournal.com]

That's just so awesome. I love Mouse and Mister is such a cat. He rules the world and everyone else will just have to learn how to deal with it. At least he's gracious enough to let Harry and Mouse stay in his apartment!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

as long as they recognize it is HIS he's okay with that

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And they better serve him food and let him in our out when he wants it. Because he demands so!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I love how he's nearly taken down Harry upon occassion when Harry was late getting home and Mister wanted in and wanted in NOW

[chatona.livejournal.com]

he's clearly strong and Harry better do as he says. or Mister is going to take. him. out.

... or, well. maim him a bit. wouldn't want to lose his servant, after all.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

a little maiming here and then isn't such a bad thing, according to cats

[chatona.livejournal.com]

reminds you of your place *nods wisely*
