=== Tropes associated with Jim Butcher: ===
 
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: Unfortunately, not anymore. As Jim himself explained it once, his hair went out crime-fighting one night and never came back.
* [[One of Us]]: It shouldn't be surprising, but not only was he directly inspired by Star Wars novels as a kid to become a writer, he's also an avid gamer.
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
** Not anymore, he's got the rights back.
* [[Springtime for Hitler]]: Once upon a time, Jim Butcher was the unsuccessful author of High Fantasy novels that was told by the teacher of his writing class that, seeing as he liked Anita Blake and Buffy so much, he should write a novel like those using that teacher's method of book creation.
{{quote| '''Jim Butcher:''' When I finally got tired of arguing with her and decided to write a novel as if I was some kind of formulaic, genre-writing drone, just to prove to her how awful it would be, I wrote the first book of ''[[The Dresden Files]]''. }}
