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...

Happy birthday!

How long does it take to recover from magic burn?
Is the hope chest a one use only item or is it multi-use? is there a cost to recharge the chest? why isn't it used more often?
Which book will explain why/how Toby was knighted?
Why was the Luidaeg shopping where Toby worked?
Why was the Luidaeg expecting Toby?
What is the importance of roses in fairie/ to the fae?
What is the tie between the Luidaeg and Amandine's line?
How many imitation hope chests have there been? Do any of the upcoming books deal with imitation hope chests? What would a imitation hope chest do?
Are we allowed to discuss fantasy tv/movie casting of the characters with you?
perhaps a brief mention of things we should not speak of to you the author? since I know plot suggestions are a hideous tangle of copyright horrors.

1) Depends on how bad the burn is, and whether you go home and rest or, like Toby, try to push through it.

2) There are multiple hope chests. They're multi-use, and don't have a recharge. They aren't really used because they're all pretty much missing, and no one really seems to know how they work.

3) Strangers in the Court, a prequel that I hope to put out between books six and seven (Ashes of Honor and Tributes in the Dust).

4) Good question.

5) Again, good question.

6) There are several races of fae directly tied to them, and the breaking of a rose is seen as offering a pledge.

7) Good question.

8) Probably a lot; not as yet; no idea.

9) Yup!

10) Good suggestion. Plot ideas are a big no-no; with fanfic, always assume I can't see it unless it's shoved in my face, and try to avoid shoving for the sake of everyone's sanity.
