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!

Fae and Cars

Amelia Edwards

A really dumb question I was pondering today in traffic. I notice that people with certain personality types tend to drive certain cars or have particular driving styles...does that, broadly, hold true with the fae who do drive?

For that matter, do larger fae who drive enjoy their Hummers and giant pickups, or do they secretly resent their diminutive cousins scooting around in Mini Coopers and Fiats? I'm thinking here of my experiences when I drove a borrowed Corvette for a couple of weeks. I developed a real loathing of minivans during that time because I was repeatedly cut off, tailgated and otherwise harassed by (almost entirely) middle-aged men and women driving the darned things -- especially when dropping my kid off at school. I went back to my regular car, which is zippy and fun, but not a *sports* car and the incidents stopped completely even though I was driving among the same people every day. Since I drove the same way in both cars, I can only assume they resented my driving a cool car that they couldn't have because they had multiple children to haul around and/or couldn't afford one.
