Well, Rosemary and Rue has been on bookstore shelves for a month, and that means it's time for me to split off the Toby Daye FAQ into its own page. What questions would you like to see answered? I'm dividing them roughly, for now, into "series" (IE, publication dates, number of books, typos), "world" (Toby's world), and per-book, but this could change.
Please expect mild spoilers in the comments on this thread, with the stress being on mild. I won't answer FAQ questions that read like "on page 189 you say, but on page 317...," since that's way too much of a spoiler for a publicly-accessible website.
At this point, it's actually been asked enough to make me want to cry. The single thing people want to make sure I know about my book is that I screwed up the pronunciation guide. :(
I fixed it for the ALH guide, but I can't exactly go around the world and use correction fluid on all the other copies out there.
...no, the idiots will continue to email you nasty notes etc.
Now, idiot and fan may be overlapping terms...but these are the idiots. Non-idiots will either email you nice questions (which may get wearing, admittedly), or will find this or the FAQ and say to themselves "ah, she knows, so it's all good."
Only if they either know each other or can find somewhere to ask.
Unfortunately, in the wide world of readers, there are a lot more morons than there are nice people that we know and will ask us instead of bothering Seanan.

Hopefully the pronunciation fans will stop being quite so vocal when the FAQ goes up.
