Question time! Because Toby trivia is fun.

It's been a while since we've done this, and with A Red-Rose Chain coming up, I figure it's time to once again offer to answer your questions about the world. So...

I 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!

Could you touch on how the more mortal-aware Fae feel about scientific advancements like space exploration? We've seen a couple of fae characters that have blended human sciences like chemistry with their own magic, but I was wondering specifically how Fae might feel about the possibility of future colonization of other planets. Like, do the Summer Lands potentially touch other places in the universe or are they tied just to the Earth? Do the fae even know themselves, or do they have their own theories or their own hopes/views of what human space exploration would mean for them? Do some view a future exodus of humans from Earth as a possible way to reclaim the Earth entirely for themselves, or might such an exodus have actual repercussions on Faerie itself?

Sorry for the jumbled incoherent mess that turned out to be, lol, but basically I'm just wondering (given Fae immortality and their tendency to take the longview of human history) if there are any larger school of thoughts among the Fae on space exploration.
