Birthday giveaway #2: The FAQ Challenge.

So as you may have noticed, I love FAQs. I love writing them, I love updating them, and I love pointing people to them. With that in mind, we come to our second giveaway for the day:

Here is the current October Daye FAQ. You may notice that it's pretty sparse. That's why I'm turning to you, my best-beloved people who live free things, to ask for more questions. Be creative, be specific, be general, be pedantic, be whatever makes you happy, but ask questions.

I will be adding the best questions to the FAQ. I will also be selecting two winners from out those questions. One will receive a signed copy of Rosemary and Rue (and if you already have one, I can send a copy to your local high school or library).

One will receive a signed ARC of A Local Habitation.

I'll take entries until tomorrow morning. Now please, please, question me! Get rewarded! Flesh out my website! I'll be your bestest blonde if you will...

Why does fae magic disperse and then remain weak while the sun is up?
Why, in Changling's choice, do they have to die if they choose "human"?

What happened to the young Miss Torquil? Why is she so screwed up?
How did Rose-Goblins come to be?
How do you pronounce "knowe"?

How did Toby meet the human guy she had a kid with? Will Toby's daughter have to undergo Changeling's Choice?

Hm. Answering that second question might be a bit too spoilery, if it's intended for later books, but a more general one might be "How much fae blood does an individual have to have to be considered a Changeling?"

How much fae blood does an individual have to have to be considered a Changeling? Does it vary with the person/situation/fae type/etc?

Generally, a quarter fae blood or more is enough to put someone into the "Changeling" category, although there have been occasional exceptions (children with less fae blood being taken into Faerie anyway). Under a quarter, they're generally considered merlins—humans with some access to fae magic.

1) Not gonna tell you. Keep reading the books.

2) See the above (but this one gets answered in book three).

3) "Knowe" is pronounced "NOW."

I figured 1 and 2 would get that sort of answer. :)

Oh, "NOW". I have been mentally and verbally saying it wrong. :D
