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!

2) Would you be willing to go a bit more into detail about Rides? We saw Blind Michael's Ride, and we've heard mention of Maeve's Ride. But the exact requirements of a Ride (other than Fae + steeds) seem murky, and it's not entirely clear what the ultimate purpose of a Ride is---i.e., do different Rides have different end goals? What's the difference between a Ride and a group of friends just going riding together? (Is there one, with the Fae?) Could Toby grab her friends, some horses (some motorcycles? some cars?), and go to it? Are there certain set Rides that occur at certain times (like, the Queen in the Mists leading a Ride every year on Beltane, or something of that sort)?
3) Do the various kingdoms have any form of social safety net set up for their people? Are there domestic violence shelters? Is there any mechanism for removing children from abusive homes? Food banks for the less fortunate Fae? Any Fae charities operating?
