Ask me a question! InCryptid knowledge party.

With Midnight Blue-Light Special approaching fast (and Half-Off Ragnarok just put to bed), I am naturally spending a lot of time thinking about InCryptid, and blogging about InCryptid, since I want everyone to be as excited as I am. So here is your invitation:

Ask me a question. Ask me a big question. Like when I posted about the rules governing fae marriage. The ones that require serious thought, and a genuine desire to know.

What can cuckoos really do? What was the straw that broke the camel's back for Alexander and Enid? How do cryptid communities conceal themselves in human cities? 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 I'll post a full calendar of Aeslin holidays (because I never, ever will). Ask me about laws and rules and universe, about etiquette and speciation and trends in fashion.

The ten best questions will get full blog posts about them, explaining whatever facet or facets of the InCryptid world they touch on. I get to determine "best," although you're all welcome to weigh in or ask secondary questions.

I have comment amnesty for any questions I do not choose to answer during this particular publication lead-in, because I want my brain to not dribble out of my ears.

Game on!

Does human history in the InCryptidverse deviate notably from ours at any point due to the influence of cryptids? Perhaps not in massive super-AU-spawning ways, but in terms of languages lost or preserved, migrations modified, conquests complicated?

Are there other Covenant-scale organizations in the world -- of any species composition -- dedicated to the cryptid/noncryptid relationship? Whether that means an actual bilateral relationship or one-sided hostility, aha.

Is cross-species reproduction as difficult for most species as it is/was for the tanuki (or even harder)? There are cryptid species with different sex schemas (the massive sexual dimorphism thing, e.g.), but are there cryptid societies with absent or markedly different gender schemas?
