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.

Okay, here goes:
Amandine apparently went off the deep end in a big way, now she's only seen frolicking about the forest in ripped up clothes and such. The Fae are immortal and they seem to be fine with letting Amandine continue along as she is: granted Amandine might be ultra-powerful or something and THAT'S why everyone lets her be. But it certainly got me thinking.
Is there some kind of Sanitarium/Nut House for the fae that lose a few marbles? Does the Queen keep them locked in a dungeon somewhere? Or do the Fae, taking a nod to the Hippie adage of "live and let live" just let the crazies roam?
And building off of this burning question, if your crazy fae is a land/title owner is it then passed down, or since they're still around does it just stay theirs forever?
Crap. One more question, entirely separate from this one. :P
Who in faery keeps track of the things like who has been knighted, how territories are divided, or who has become successors to territories? There has to be some kind of database/library/group mind that keeps record of these pertinent things, right? Because once you're immortal I bet it's super tedious trying to remember things that far back. There must be a system.
Anyways.
I'm soooooooooooo excited to read these and see the responses once you've chosen the questions you want to expand on! Thanks so much for doing this--I can't wait! :D
