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!

The Prices are a group that actively, if covertly, work towards keeping Cryptiods safe from people, and visa versa. Question: are there any other groups in the world that work towards the same sort of goals as the Price family? Are there any groups or individuals in the world that work against the Covenant? Are they small groups or are they larger, like rival corporations?
Related question: is there a community level of support for Cryptiods in your universe as there is in ours for something like endangered species? Are there rallies where people write slogans and chant 'save the whatisthings/people'? If not, why? Is it because they are potentially dangerous? Different? Propaganda?

Cryptiods have a smaller number of potential mates than humans (assuming, yes). Are there gay/lesbian/bi/sexually different Cryptiods? If yes, how is that treated within the Cryptiod society/family? </p>

Is there a Cryptiod you would like to be? Is there one you think best describes yourself?

Also thank you for the books.

There is no public knowledge of cryptids, ergo there is no public defense of same. The rest of your questions either constitute spoilers or are not universe construction questions, which was the point of this post.

Very welcome.
