excitedAsk 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!

While Cryptids are not known to mainstream science, the wonderful taxonomic classifications in the field guide have me wondering how much study has been done to classify them. Does the Covenant bother with studying Cryptids beyond how to kill them? Are the Prices the only cryptozoologists in this universe, or have there been scientists studying them throughout history who have been considered crackpots by their peers? If so, how have they intersected with the scientific community, particularly in the early days of modern science, when there was a bit more willingness to believe in strange things? I'm envisioning a contemporary of Linnaeus working out how some of the strange things he's found in the field fit into the new classification system only to find that no one quite believes his creatures exist.
