SCA Stuff...
May. 12th, 2007 09:45 amOkay, something a large number of people on my Friends List may not know is that I am an honest-to-goodness card-carrying member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). I even belong to a household! (Everybody wave to

The thing is, due to one thing and another, I'm not terribly active. The only events I've been to in the last couple of years have been ones where I've helped cook. I've not gotten involved with Arts & Sciences (A&S) or anything. Now, the good news is that my work in Medieval Studies could, obviously, double up as SCA research. My only question is this: If I submit, say, a translation of the papal dispensation allowing Thomas More to keep and read "heretical" texts, how much documentation would it need? Is the translation sufficient, along with a works cited page of the dictionaries I used? Also, most of what I know about medieval orthography and paleography has come from handouts given in Medieval Latin class by the ineffable Dr. M. Should that be cited?
Additionally, I know I ought to get my own butt out to more events. The SCA really isn'ttorberg's or new housemate charlotteb_'s thing. I've been working on my new people/crowds phobia/insecurity in therapy, and maybe going to an event by myself would help that out. It's worth chewing on, at the very least.
