I don't even know where those questions of mine in the OP came from. They must be pretty old, because I didn't even remember some of them. Anyway, these are scavenged from a "Questions to Be Asked at Q&As" thread from about a year ago:
Some of mine(AcornArmy), to start off:
1) Angels are apparently all soul. So:
1a) Can angels be soulgazed?
1b) Can the Fallen in the Denarii be soulgazed through the second pair of eyes which sometimes show up on the foreheads of the Denarians? And, if so:
1b.1) Will the soulgaze be different than the one you would see if you simply soulgazed the Fallen's Denarian host?
2) Would you(Jim) please clarify exactly who the Faerie Queens can personally kill and who they can't? And also whether these limitations extend to having other fae kill mortals? At various times in Summer Knight and in the rest of the series, we've been told or seen evidence that:
-- The Sidhe Knights are the only ones allowed to act in matters not directly related to the Faerie Courts. (SK, Ch. 10)
-- The Queens are not allowed to kill anyone who isn't a member of their own Court. (SK, Ch. 10)
And yet:
-- We've seen fae servants of the Faerie Queens kill and attempt to kill mortals many times.
-- Aurora was able to try to kill Harry just fine, but was unable to harm Murphy. (SK, Ch. 20-21)
-- When Harry is preparing to deal with Mab to become the Winter Knight, he thinks to himself that Mab can't kill a mortal, only make them wish they were dead. The implication seems to include the Winter Knight. (Changes, Ch. 30)
So which mortals can the Faerie Queens kill? Bob tells us one thing, but evidence in the books indicates something else.
For non-Jim people who'd like to try to answer question #2 themselves: I'm well aware that there are different guesses to be made about what the Queens' limitations are. I've made some of them myself over the years. This question is meant to get a definitive answer from Jim on the subject, though, so we don't have to rely on guesses anymore.
From Vairelome:
From one of the recent threads concerning Maggie, there was some discussion about her official last name right now (post GS, staying with the Carpenters).
So: "What is Maggie's official last name right now?" and if clarification is needed, "Under what last name is she registered at the local elementary school (assuming that's where she's placed)?"
From Karley:
1) How and when did Harry and Michael meet? Would you consider writing a short story about their first encounter?
2) How long has Arthur Langtry been the Merlin?
3) How does one become the Merlin?
4) Is the Winter Lady Maeve the same person as or was she some way involved with the old Irish Queen Maeve of Connacht?
5) If Harry ever does put his full effort into universe-hopping, can you make him go to Discworld?
6) What are the names of the other three minor vampire courts?
7) How did Justin DuMorne find out about Harry?
8 ) When did the old Mother Summer retire and why won't Mother Winter retire?
9) How old is the Gatekeeper?
10) How did the White Council annex the New World shamans and what were the reaction of the Natives?
From Eleyctra:
Is it significant that the eyes of Lea changed from gold in the earlier books, to green in Changes? Is Mab controlling Lea more than we think?
From jeno:
1) How old were Eb and Maggie Sr when they first manifested a talent?
2) How can Kusanagi be a Sword of the Cross when it predates the crucifixion?
3) How many sisters does Thomas have?
