contemplativeAsk me a question.
This has no connection to the current ARC giveaway, which asks you to ask simple, FAQ-style questions that don't require extensive spoilers or flowcharts. What this is connected to is, well, the big questions. Like when I posted about the rules governing fae marriage. The ones that require serious thought, and a genuine desire to know.
How does fae marriage work? Where did the Changeling's Choice begin? What happened to the Roane? Questions too big, and too complicated, to answer in the FAQ. Now, because I apparently wasn't clear enough the first time, I WILL NOT GIVE SPOILERS. Please don't ask me where someone is, or whether someone else is coming back, or whether you're ever going to see Gillian again (a question which has started to make me clench my teeth). Ask me about laws and rules and universe, about etiquette and speciation and trends in fashion.
The five best questions will get full blog posts about them, explaining whatever facet or facets of Faerie they touch on. I get to determine "best," although you're all welcome to weigh in or ask secondary questions.

"Where are the native spirits?"
There are none for the purposes of this series. The only supernatural beings in Toby's world are the fae, and Native American spirits are not fae. Very few folkloric traditions can be tugged into a "fae" definition without being incredibly untrue to the source material. Maybe they exist, and maybe they don't, but if they do, they choose to have nothing to do with Faerie, because Faerie is full of crazy people.
Pretty much all of these are FAQ-style questions.

That makes sense.
I wasn't sure which questions might garner a longer answer or not. I'll keep thinking. :)
