We've had a few requests for a question and answer post, so, um, we'll do our best! Ask away. :)

I'm just curious if there were any particular faerie myths (specific versions of tales) that you worked from or if you just took a more generic approach and used faerie myths in general. And the bit with the faerie world being more modern when Rose first takes over? Brilliant. Any particular reason for that, or did it just happen in your heads that way?

And, of course, any insights that you want to share would be appreciated like whoa.

i'm always curious how people pick names for their characters, so i would dearly love to know the significance of the names please and thank you.

Because I'm a horrible person, I'm wondering if we'll ever see any of the Adventures of Neil and Sam.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, that was exactly the question I was going to ask. XD

A couple of them!

Was Alberich a variant of the Alberich in Wagner's Nibelungenungenun? En. Ung.

I was too caught up in the story to character spot! Who else from Saiyuki was there, and as whom?

what did jenny make robin think of that made him so sad?

I have to second that question. That scene very nearly made ME cry.

Nthing the "what thoughts were making Robin cry uncontrollably" question...

And aside from that, I'm very curious as to just what was behind his having to leave the boarding school -- was it the aftermath of the incident he briefly mentions where Rose injured him so badly, or something else?

I'd love to know more about how your collaborative process works. The nitty gritty of how it comes to pass that each of you writes certain bits.

Edited for crappy typing.

I have questions about the writing process.

1. Did each of you write the specific parts that you posted? Or did you collaborate on each chapter and then take turns posting?

2. Stories are usually posted once they are completed, giving the author a chance to edit, re-write, etc. Was there ever a point, several chapters in, where you thought "Hey, I really wish we had done something different or gone a different way back in chapter 3 or 4, but now it's too late and we're committed to this path."
