Expand our knowledge! Sponsor a cryptid today!

[seanan_mcguire]

So y'all may have noticed the epic awesomeness that is the Price Family Field Guide to the Cryptids of North America (slowly expanding into "Cryptids of the World" as more and more critters make their first appearance). If you haven't, go ahead and click on over. I can wait.

So you may have also noticed the amazing and awesome Kory Bing art that makes these cryptids come to fantastic and occasionally gruesome life! Well, it's time for the next batch of cryptids to join the party...and that's where you come in.

Who wants to sponsor a cryptid? There are literally hundreds in the InCryptid world, and I'd eventually like to see them all in glorious color up in the Guide. If you have $35 to spare and want to add a critter or two to the queue, drop me a line, and I'd be absolutely ecstatic to make it happen. Previously sponsored cryptids include the poison dart fricken, and the hitchhiking ghost (still to come to the guide itself).

Make history. Or at least, make pretty things. Either way, life is good!

Can you remind us in a month or two? I am about to move and cannot support art right now. But I want to!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Sure can.

[dewline.livejournal.com]

Particularly entertained by the concept of the Madhura. Would that they were real and among us now.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I would eat SO MUCH GINGERBREAD.

[dewline.livejournal.com]

Is gingerbread a particular specialty/preference of theirs as a group? I suspect it's not the only one...

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

In America, frequently, because it can be made with honey.

[sheistheweather]

Is this only for Cryptids we've heard of in short stories or Discount Armageddon so far, or should we ask things like "do you have any [animal-type]-related cryptids?"?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Either-or. You can do blind sponsorships, too, if neither appeals.

[sheistheweather]

Good to know, thanks!

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

Aeslin Mice! Hee!

I have to wait until Sept, but I'd love to sponser a Cryptid or two.}:P

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

That would be lovely!

[ohari.livejournal.com]

Do I get to "pick my Cryptid", or am I just sponsoring whoever is next in line?

Not that it makes a difference, I'm doing it anyway.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

You can ask about cryptid types, or you can go for "whatever's next."

The one thing I won't do right now is dragons. Because that would be a spoiler.

[ohari.livejournal.com]

I email'ed you from the ever-popular contact form on your website.
:)
Mwahahahahahahahahahaha

[lots42.livejournal.com]

You want cryptids? Go to scp-wiki.net.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

...well, isn't that charming.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

I hope this is a happy reaction. The link was meant in good spirits.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

It is, and also a little awed/terrified, to be honest.

Thank you!

[lysystratae.livejournal.com]

Definitely remind us again, as I'm still unemployed but would love to once i have income again.

[biguglymandoll.livejournal.com]

You may be unemployed, but you have the Best. Icon. Ever!!!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[brownkitty.livejournal.com]

I wish I had the money, I'd love to sponsor Fork Gnomes.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

That would be very strange.

[brownkitty.livejournal.com]

I'm almost at the point of wanting to bribe them so I'd get to keep my silverware. At least their ambitions haven't expanded to my keys yet.

[peachtales.livejournal.com]

That is so much fun! When I get a job again (for the 3rd time this year), this will be something I try to remember.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Win!

[cgbookcat1.livejournal.com]

You can put me down for a blind sponsorship -- preferably for a cryptid appearing for the first time in Midnight Blue-Light Special.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay! Drop me an email through my website, and we'll see about making it go.

[ironed_orchid]

I finished Discount Armageddon on Sunday and went to your site where I knew you have some in universe stories to download, and ended up reading ALL the cryptids in the guide so far.

I'll happily sponsor a cryptid or three once I have a permanent(ish) job.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[kay-alpha.livejournal.com]

If you're planning to write the entry for succubi, I will sponsor that. (I have been driving myself to distraction trying to figure out what makes the male and female Lilu so different since you mentioned it and then only told us about incubi.)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I would be happy to set up the entry! Send me an email through my website contact form, and we'll get sorted.

[jammiesest.livejournal.com]

As soon as I get done with car repairs and veterinary bills (15 year old car, 11.5 year old Lab), I will definitely Adopt-a-Cryptid. Oh, btw, I have one of my Goodreads friends convinced A. that Aeslin mice rule and B. that he is in fact an Aeslin mouse.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

AWESOME.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

I will also be one of those who needs a tickler for 30 days - child's birthday is this weekend, and to say we are tapped out is an understatement.

That said, let's put the overbook 'fairy' in the queue...you need parameters and identifying marks, ask me. Definitely an urban adaptation.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I really can't. That's not the sort of cryptid that fits this world. Thank you, though.

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

*bows* Not to belabor the point, but once the jackalopes were covered? this is what comes to mind first. (http://www.miaminewtimes.com/1997-06-05/news/myths-over-miami/)

(Seriously. I actually came up with something on my own? Everyone around here knows that twerp.)
