seanan_mcguireWhee! Time for another ARC giveaway! Once again, I'm giving away an ARC of Late Eclipses, the fourth book in the October Daye series, which comes out in twenty-seven days. So you could get an early chance to find out what's going on! Also, I'm actually giving away two books this time. Curious? Read on!
If you've been to my website recently, you may have noticed that my Toby FAQs are a trifle, well, sparse. Whole books are missing. Since I'm getting ready to shuffle things around to make room for InCryptid, I'd like to fix this. So here's what you need to do to enter today's ARC giveaway:
1) Leave a comment on this entry containing a suggested question for one of my FAQs. FAQ-type questions only, please, like "Is the date at the beginning of An Artificial Night correct?" or "Why has Quentin's hair changed color?", not "Will Toby and Tybalt ever get together?" or "Is there going to be a movie?"
2) Leave the comment on its own, please, not as a reply to someone else's comments. Comments on comments can't win, even if they have the BEST QUESTION EVER.
3) That's all.
Now here's the twist: I will be choosing two winners. One will be chosen by the random number generator, cruel mistress that it is, and the other will be chosen by me, based purely on my personal "that's the BEST question" reaction. Also, I will use your questions to improve the FAQ, so really, everybody wins.
I will choose a winner at 2PM PST on Tuesday, February 8th.
Game on!

Date: 2011-02-02 05:59 pm (UTC)Re: Toby Daye FAQ
Date: 2011-02-02 06:51 pm (UTC)Q: What is the Changeling's Choice?
A: Changelings are given a choice between the fae and mortal worlds by their fae parents once they have reached a certain age (this age is different for everyone, but is normally between the ages of six and thirteen). Changelings who choose "fae" are immediately taken to the Summerlands to begin their education. Changelings who choose "human" are killed.
Quarter-blooded changelings may not be presented with the Choice, as it is possible that their mortal blood will be so strong that their fae nature will not manifest itself.

Date: 2011-02-02 06:32 pm (UTC)What's the separation between bias against those faeries with mortal blood and those with weak magic? I mean, if a faerie had one human great-grandparent, would sie be counted as a changeling even if hir ability to work magic (and vulnerability to iron) was within the normal range for faeries?
no subject
Date: 2011-02-14 08:45 pm (UTC)If fae blood becomes dilute enough, the children are no longer considered changelings. If mortal blood becomes dilute enough, it can potentially be concealed, but the children are still changelings, because they will still, eventually, die.

no subject
Date: 2011-02-03 03:44 pm (UTC)Thanking someone implies you owe them a favor. The fae don't like to owe others anything, so they don't give thanks.
