This page is the gateway to the Dresden Files WoJ Compilation.  As of 2017, this material has about the equivalent word count of the Novella Cold Case, so rather than one huge page to scroll through it’s broken up into multiple pages according to subject, and below is a table of contents for the linked individual subject pages.  I’m considering having an alternate version with all the information in one spot for quick searches, but maintaining two versions of the same content may not be worth the effort.

General formatting notes:

• Most WoJ are responses to questions, which will be in bold, with the Word of Jim response not bolded.
• Most sub-sections will begin with unlinked WoJ’s from the forums.
