excitedI will make ten blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the questions 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. Remember that nothing I answer here is full canon until it appears in a book: I will always reserve the right to change things if the series shifts between now and then.
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!

Basically, the only way something is "fae" is a) if it is European, or b) if the creator myths are flexible enough that I can incorporate it without being disrespectful. It would be enormously appropriative and wrong to say "oh, all the North American spirits are fae descended from these three European figures," so I will not do it. Honestly, if I could go back to me in college (when I was setting this world up) and slap me around, there wouldn't be any Asian fae either, not to make it whiter, but to make it less borderline appropriative.
