Seanan has Aislinn Mice.  You can keep your lesbian mermaids.

Note: Her latest Incryptid novel, by the nature of its plot, does
not involve the Mice.  So she appended a mini-story of how the
Mice managed to get from an airport in Florida to one in Oregon,
more or less on their own.

I understand from Meg that there is going to be an Aislinn Mice
mini-story in every Incryptid book she writes from now on.

In other Seanan news, she's going to write a story for X-Men
involving Kitty Pryde.  Those who read X-Men can start rubbing
their hands in anticipation.  I don't suppose it will contain the
Mice, though you never know.
