So... For the story I want to write for that Love and Fables anthology, I have some questions:
Firstly: Anyone know of any folklore that would pertain to:
1) Crow-fairies/spirits (or at least *bird* fairies/spirits) who
2) Are from Eastern/South-Eastern Europe (originally),
3) Can shape-shift into human form, and
4) Don't have problems with iron?
Any takers?
Anyone?
<*looks hopeful*>
Secondly: Is there a Czech, Croation, or Bulgarian neighbourhood or two anywhere near The Mountain in Montreal? (This bit isn't quite as important, but it would be handy to know).
And Thirdly: Does anyone know how -- or IF -- a young Canadian woman (around age 21 give or take a year) looking to get rid of her testicles could go about doing so?
As in: getting coverage for that 'cause she's a student with no money?
I know the army covers some SRS stuff, but she's not in the army and I don't know if anything else does.
Basically is there any way for her to get an orchi when she doesn't have a whole lot of money of her own and her family may not be able (or willing, for that matter) to help her out.
It's not all that important to the story that she's lucked out and been able to have this surgery. But it would be nice to know what, if any, her options are.
Anyone? Thoughts? Suggestions? Would T-Vox have anything useful on this subject or is it mostly a US-centric thing?
