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...

Two serious, one silly

Are Faerie names cultural* or simply old-fashioned?

Would glamour be affected if a human desperately wanted to see past it and excerted a great force of will to do so?

And most importantly, if Toby and Verity were to arm-wrestle, who would win?


* Like how a Native American might have the name Running Bear.


And another!

Are there certain types of magic that a Changeling simply cannot do, or can they perform all magic within their personal limits?

Changelings can do all forms of magic within their personal limits.

1) They're cultural, and there are actually very firm naming rules dealing with giving names that honor friends and family, but don't actually result in several thousand immortal "Bobs." Also, a lot of fae parents just pick names they like, sort of like every other parent in the world. :)

2) Not unless that human had fae blood.

3) Verity, hands-down.
