Ask me anything: Toby's world Q&A.

Since I have a book coming out in fifteen days, 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 two times we did this: inheritance, fosterage, madness, historical records, Cait Sidhe court structure, the Changeling's Choice, locational biology, where fae races come from, shapeshifters, and merlins.

Are there other land-animal-alternate-form-fae, in addition to cats and foxes? For example dog, horse (not humans-changed-to-horses), or snake fae?

And since I find myself oddly biased towards smaller animals = potential fae, what about buffalo or elephant fae?

Yup. It was actually gone into rather a lot in the shapeshifters discussion.

No elephant or buffalo fae, currently, as there was no way to fit that into the pre-existing mythos without committing massive cultural appropriation.

Ah - thank you! I've been reading a lot of fiction with were-beings in it, and that is how my Monday-brain translated "shapeshifter". I'll go back and look at that answer. :-)

And try to think of another question. 'cause this is fun!

I just dug through and added links to the two previous question posts and all the answer posts, for your questing convenience! :D
