November Call for Questions (Patreon)

Life continues to be challenging. As a result, I am still working on the Mockery article chosen in October. While that will be posted soon, in the meantime, I want to give you all a chance to ask new short questions. In other developments, I'll be at PAX Unplugged next month and participating in a few events, as called out in this article. 

 For those who are new to the IFAQ process, here's how it works. first of all, I answer as many questions as I can, but with the number of questions I receive I often don't have time to answer all. Beyond that...

Given the volume of questions I receive, I limit myself to answering one question per patron per month, to try to spread my time out as evenly as possible. You can ASK multiple questions, because it may be one is easier for me to answer than another—but if you ask seven questions, I'm only going to answer one of them.

If I can answer a question in 2-3 sentences, I will answer it here (as a reply to your comment). If I can answer a question in 2-3 paragraphs, it may be answered as an IFAQ article, but I only have time to post 1-3 IFAQs per month. If it would take 2-3 pages to answer the question, that's a Dragonshard article—and I'm already behind in my article queue. So in short, the longer and more complicated the question, the lower the chance that I'll have time to answer it. 

If I would have to do significant research to answer a question, that increases its effective size. It may be that the question only takes a few sentences to answer—but if I'd have to do two hours of research and contemplation to answer it, it's going to get passed over.

If you asked a question didn't get answered in a previous month, you're always welcome to ask it again, though consider how these guidelines apply! There's always good questions I just don't have time to answer.

As always, thanks for your support!
