hopefulHere 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...

Could you give a brief explanation regarding magic burn? How much magic (and I know this is also dependent on complexity) can a halfblood perform before they're incapacitated? What forms can that incapacitation take?

The problem with the question of "how much magic" is that it depends on how much power the individual changeling has. So if changelings (and fae) are on a scale of one to one hundred, assume that anyone who uses half their potential power pool is at risk of burn. If Toby starts as 30/100, she only needs to use 15 points to go into burn. Sylvester, on the other hand, is 80/100, and can use more magic than Toby has before he's at risk.
Magic burn usually manifests as headaches, although some fae will get joint or even muscle pains instead.
