Questions Specifically for Jim, Part 3

[Annie Wilkes]

Ooh, there's a question.

Is Mab older than the Dinosaurs?

LOL, You wanna ask her that to her face? 

My question is.... Are we going to get to see Mac kick off? I mean big time kick off? 'cos my impression of Mac so far is that he's lovely but hard as hell, you don't F*** with the barkeep! I'd love to know we're gonna get to see him righteously kicking some ass.

[Mr. Ghostbuster]

When?

Mab has a line in Small Favor when she is talking to Harry where she says something akin to "Don't question me. I am Mab and I have paid my debts."

[Magnus]

Actually the line is:
"I am Sidhe," she hissed. "I am the Queen of Air and Darkness. I am Mab." Her chin lifted, her eyes wide, and white around the rippling colors of her irises --  utterly insane. "And I repay my debts, mortal. All of them."

Mab has a line in Small Favor when she is talking to Harry where she says something akin to "Don't question me. I am Mab and I have paid my debts."

I don't think she means she owes someone a debt in the same way that Harry owes her. I think she means repay my debts the same way someone might say I owe them a good beating. Her 'debt' is to those that have wronged her.

“There are others yet who will pay for what they have done,” Mab snarled in her own voice. It sounded hideous—not unmelodious, because it was as rich and full and musical as it ever had been. But it was filled with such rage, such fury, such pain and such hate that every vowel clawed at my skin, and every consonant felt like someone taking a staple gun to my ears.

“I am Sidhe,” she hissed. “I am the Queen of Air and Darkness. I am Mab.” Her chin lifted, her eyes wide and white around the rippling colors of her irises—utterly insane. “And I repay my debts, mortal. All of them.”

Yes, that's how I read it too.

Me three.  Would NOT want to be Thorned Namsiel when she gets her
cold claws on him.  (not sure of spelling - sorry)  She's so gonna make
his life miserable.

He's definately going to become Pruned Namsiel...What do you think she'll do with the coin?

[Snowleopard]

From the way the Gruff acted they don't much care about the coins.
Of course this is Mab we're talking about so she just might put/give/toss that coin somewhere
where it can cause the maximum confusion to one of her enemies.

oh...

Can the sidhe be infected with the Denarians?

[Sydna]

We don't know, but I doubt it. I don't think the sidhe has individual souls.

[MacShidhe]

oh...

I doubt it but I can see them working togehter if the Fae's nature didn't conflict with the Denarian.

[phoenixjustice]

We don't know, but I doubt it. I don't think the sidhe has individual souls.

They cannot be corrupted because they do not have souls--Harry already said in Summer Knight that he could look Mab in the eyes and not worry about triggering a Soulgaze because she didn't have a soul.

Question:

How did Justin know about Harry? His adoption was clearly not a random coincidence.

[Annie Wilkes]

I've got an authory question. Did Jim know how long the DF series was going to be when he started? If not did he just put the twists
in when he thought of them or has he known most of the twists & turns that would happen since the start & has been saving them up for the opportune moment & dramatic effect?
I ask 'cos I'm writing a book & have thought of a couple of twists that I'd like to use in a couple of books time. Only trouble is at the moment I've only got 1 book & not sure if my hero will let me tell any more of his story (ie I'm not sure if I'll make it to 3 or more books!).
Should I "shoot my load" now while I know the first instalment is good & have a fast & furious blowout, or should I take my time & lead to a more satisfying climax (ooer)? 

[sjsharks]

A friend of mine had this question. Is Jim sponsored by Coke and Burger King? Is he getting a little extra money on the side every time he mentions them, or are they just his personal favorites?
