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!

I'm curious about the role that governments play in the human-cryptid equation. I find it hard to imagine that the US government (as an example) doesn't know about the existence of cryptids within the population. However, I could easily see that they wouldn't want the general population to know about them (panic, purges, general destabilization of the status quo). There'd be a dynamic between wanting to exploit them (military applications, etc) but knowing that such attempts would open up the possibility of increasing awareness by the public. I could also see that the Covenant might affect this equation - to do their job, they probably need to interact with governments, but I'd bet they'd be against any exploitation, as it means the cryptids are being allowed to survive. So, do the various governments (past or present) know about the cryptids, and if not, how have they been able to keep below governmental radar?
