Okay, ehm, so I finished with my Dresden Files read-through. All of them: 12 books + 4 short stories + the RPG-books (although I didn't so much read those, as jump to the interesting characters). I still haven't gotten my hands on the (out of print) short-novel about Thomas, so if it's included in the collection that Butcher will release later this year, I will probably buy it.
I also have this big file with snippets about Marcone, magic and how stuff works in the Dresden-verse. One day, I'll try and fic some of it.
But it's darn hard to write something that takes places after Changes, because it really does change everything in the universe... and then it just ends! On a big, evil cliffhanger, so we don't know where anything stands or how Harry will go on! Although I bet both Marcone and Lara Raith did happy dances of glee when they realized what Harry had done this time.
It's also interesting to see Harry's journey, it really contains more ups and downs than many of these long, urban fantasy series. He gets scarily close to the darkness sometimes, and then he starts traveling upwards, and then, BLAM - Changes. And we're only about halfway aaarghhh...
Anyway, the RPG book with the characters - Our World - is pretty good for ficish purposes. Lots of stats and condensed information in one place. And the little comments in the margin, written by Harry, Bob and the Alphas were really fun
