A few members of Team Dresden have let me know some people have been kind of jerky about what readers have created or dressed up as from the casefiles.

I’ve said this before here and will say it again: don’t make fun of what other people do to show their affection for a fandom. If you do and I find out about it - don’t care if it’s my casefiles or something else - I will unleash hellfire on you, at least in print.

The world is an ugly place. Make it better instead of making it worse.

And let it not be said that I am not a staunch proponent of the arts. Express yourselves however you wish. That is what the artistic form encompasses. However, along with the creation of art, comes the right of others to critique that art. It is the hallmark of a small mind to be unable to withstand criticism of their art, of any sort. If you wish to express yourself, be the mature and educated individual who understands that others are just as free to express their rejection of your expression, in the manner they choose. The mere act of creating something does not, and will never, insulate you from criticism. Do ‘grow up,’ I believe the phrase is.

Dresden here offers you insincere platitudes, giving you only what you want to hear. Here I stand, offering you the truth, and total honesty. Choose wisely which words are more valuable to you, for it will determine for us all whether you truly are a prisoner of fantasy, or a functioning member of reality.

Have a pleasant day, one and all.

Like the Scoobies on Buffy, we’re hot on the trail of another mystery! I’ve got folks following up.

I just keep this little screenshot around for whenever you start to feel like you’re always a step ahead of the Paranet. Just my small, subtle way of balancing the scales a bit, don’tcha know.

I am aware that the 'Net scoops me often, and am graciously grateful.

Werewolf Caught Roaming the Streets of Brazil?

This past Friday (July 31st, 2015), countless people around the world turned their attention towards the heavens to marvel at the spectacle that was the Blue moon. Numerous photos were taken of the wondrous natural phenomenon. However, one photo taken that night shows that something far more astonishing may also have been out that night.

The above image, which was reportedly captured by a CCTV camera in Brazil, shows what appears to be a Werewolf roaming down a deserted street in the dead of night. The image has since gone viral on social media, and many people are convinced this is undeniable proof that the shape-shifting creatures of legend are indeed real.

But where there are believers, there are also skeptics, and there a many who doubt the validity of this image. Those who are skeptical believe this is nothing more than a poor Photoshop job.

According to DiarioOnline.com.br, this is but one of many versions of this photo. Each version claims the image was captured a different Brazilian city. One suggests it was captured in Ponta Grossa, another claims Ceilândia. One version even suggests the picture originated from France. 

The fact that no one seems to know where exactly this image originated from is the main reason behind people’s staunch skepticism. Personally, while I too believe this is most-likely a hoax, I’m still very much interested in hearing you thoughts on this image. Do you think it shows a real Werewolf? Or is this just a poorly executed hoax?

That shirt is EXCLUSIVELY for the WorldBuilders charity but this TeeFury clown (or others from the same circus) keeps trying to sell it for his, her, their profit.

Need Team Dresden to spread the word: if you want one of these shirts, check the WorldBuilders webpage. Anyone else selling it needs to be called on it.

This charity helps feed impoverished families around the world. Stealing from them - that’s what this is - is so wrong I’m surprised the Knights haven’t hunted them down. It’s some Denarian-level crap.

I’d appreciate some help, guys.

Sometimes - especially after I’ve destroyed one of Will’s devices or something from the Nevernever’s tried to destroy me - Will or Georgia speaks up for me. So I got in the habit of making sure people know it’s me.

That was a long way to go to call me a mother, man. Just saying.

Unless I'm adding pink glitter hearts and kitten banners Molly found to Harry's Twitter.

And suddenly ALL the spaceships going in to shut down mode as everything breaks and they’re coming down.

Tony: “Ok…I think I got it this time…”

Harry:  “come on Tony, we’ve already done this a hundred times.  I know you’re a genius, but you aren’t going to figure it out.  People have been trying for decades!”

Tony: “They weren’t me.  So, I have the Murphionic filter hooked up, and the test sensors wired to the analog readouts.  Do you’re thing…”

*ZORCH*

Harry: “I told you! Do you realized you could feed a village in africa for a year with what you’re spending on doing this?”

Not…exactly the way I felt after I saw Shagnasty with my sight, but it’s pretty freaking close.
