Writing the 8th book in an extended series can seriously frustrate the writer when she needs the name she gave something in book, er, 4? And she doesn't have access to the manuscript.

I need me some detail-happy fans who will build me a Cosa Nostradamus wiki, damn it.

On the plus side, had an "oh, NOW it will work!" moment. Yay for pizza and coffee, brain food of a generation...

Heh - in reading an interview with Jim Butcher, I was mightily amused to discover that he uses fan wikis for his Dreden Files detail checking.

Ok, but after we build the wiki can we turn it into a book and get it published? (Harry Potter Lexicon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_Lexicon) reference for anyone not getting the joke)

on a serious note, how about just buying a digital copy and doing a search, or heck, try a google book search unless you think that has legal ramifications for you as an author.

oh, once I was back to my main computer, I could search my own files (I have all the books in manuscript form, as they were pre-production). I just happened to be working out-of-office, without access.
