Question time! Toby Daye trivia is fun.

Since I have a book coming out in a week, I figure it's time to once again offer to answer your questions about the world. So...

I will make five blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the five that I think are the most interesting/fun/relevant, and will detail them to my heart's content. There's a lot to learn and know, and asking loses you nothing.

Leave your questions on this post. I'm declaring comment-reply amnesty for any that I choose not to answer this time, since otherwise, my wee head may explode.

Game on!

ETA: Things covered last time we did this: inheritance, fosterage, madness, historical records, and Cait Sidhe court structure.

Can parents of changelings send their child off to the Summerlands alone and stay with their mortal spouses? I got the impression that Amandine was as stuck as Toby after Toby went through the changeling's choice, but I was wondering if arranging for a foster-family and writing the kid was also possible.

On a related note, what about the "true" changeling idea -- send Kid A off to the Summerlands, and bring Older Kid/Young Adult B into the role (if B can be made to look sufficiently like Kid A, that is...)? Accidents or Illness with Amnesia are, of course, an option...

On a different related note... What if you have twin changelings? (Or one underage kid yet to make the changeling's choice, and one kid making it?) Of course, fae fertility may simply have precluded this from happening (until it happens and becomes a huge headache for someone).

On an unrelated note, where do Selkie skins come from? (Or have I just blanked on a previously-given answer? Or will this be answered in One Salt Sea? *beth crosses fingers*)
