LATE ECLIPSES ARC giveaway #3: Just the FAQs.

[seanan_mcguire]

Whee! 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!

(I do not wish to be entered in the drawing; I just want to help with the FAQ.) :)

You might want to edit this post to have the link to the FAQ as it exists now, to avoid duplicates and also give a better idea of what kind of questions we're talking about. :)

The Series Itself:
Are there other works available set in the Toby Daye universe? (e.g. short fiction)

The World:
Not technically a question, but I'd suggest adding, in the part about changelings, the thing about merlins.

How does marriage work in Faerie? Is there divorce, and if so, how does that work?

Since it's a rare occurrence (other than in war), what do the fae usually do when one of their number dies? Are there rituals? Are things done differently if someone is killed in a war?

How do the fae choose names for their children? And why do some of the lines have surnames (other than changelings with human fathers) while others don't seem to have them?

How many Courts of Cats are there? How do they determine their boundaries?

Do the fae travel much between mortal-world countries since they've been locked out of all but the Summerlands? Was there more travel before that happened?

Toby:

After "Toby" you might have an "Other Characters" section:
What is Gilly's full name?

Does May have a middle name?

How long has Tybalt been king?


Rosemary & Rue:
Who made the Hope Chests, and why?

A Local Habitation:
Are there fae in other countries assimilating modern technology, as well?
