1) I am certainly looking for a lower time commitment – even knowing that politics are everywhere, at least I can only deal with them when I feel like it. *snort*
2) The idea of multiple time periods is cool with me: I don’t mind it at Ft. McArthur so I don’t think I’ll mind it anywhere else. It may freak me out to have multiple periods *in one camp* but we shall see…
3) Hubby is fine with waster fighting – so long as the wasters are actually somewhat analogous to the actual size, balance of the real thing.
4) They aren’t going to *make* me be the Queen – right? I just get to dress pretty when I want to and be a good ol’ campwife the rest of the time?
5) I don’t ‘do faire’ for the gigging or the crowds – I do it for the history. When I first started I was much more interested in the theater, but now I tend to see it as a big ol’ distraction. The Disneyfication of the 16th Century. “Have a Minnie Mouse Leg, a Goofy Beer and check out Mickey jousting!” *bleech*
6) *blink* *blink* What is a 10’ rule?
Trust me, I *do not* think that faires have the corner on the historical accuracy market. There are a few groups that totally rock my historic world and a whole lotta others that do not. *shrug* I go where I can get my freak on with others that appreciate it. *grin*
I am a little curious about the overall structure of the SCA and how they handle things like their mentoring, etc. I am sure those are all questions that Meg (the local Baroness and the lady I am refreshing my lucets skills with) can answer for me.
It is funny that you and Miles tend to parallel Chris and I so much…sometimes it makes me giggle. *grin*
