baavgai did it.1. What is your SCA name? (You don't have to write the full name, just your first name if you want.)
Violet Coleson (registered)
2. What is your home kingdom?
East
3. Have you ever lived in another kingdom? If so, where?
No.
4. Do you remember your first SCA event? When/what was it?
Yes, Pennsic XXIV
5. Do you have any awards? (You don't have to list them if you don't want)
AoA
6. Do you list them after your name in communications like e-mail?
No.
7. Do you have a device?
Yes, see icon.
8. Do you use it? On what?
Just lj so far, but I'd like to make a banner and put the roundel on a buckler.
9. Are you on all the kingdom/society lists available to you, or do you avoid them?
I'm on a few, but I skim a lot.
10. Do you keep your Pennsic/Estrella/Gulf Wars/etc. site tokens?
Yes, they're somewhere in the house.
11. Do you keep the favors you've been given by royalty/friends/SOs, etc.? Do you wear them all?
Yes, but I don't wear them except if I'm doing something associated with the group like wearing the Celtic Cock Brewers Guild favor when we make our gift to Their Majesties.
12. Do you call your friends by their SCA names even when you're not at an event?
Depends how I think of them. Some friends always go by their SCA name, so I figure they prefer it.
13. Do you go out to dinner in garb after an event?
Only if I don't have a change of clothes.
14. Do you have all kinds of garb, or do you generally stick to one period?
All kinds.
15. How many interests do you have within the SCA? What's your favorite?
Oh God I have a lot of interests. Right now I'm focusing on knitting, fencing, cooking (in a strictly assistant role) and brewing. I'd like to actively learn about jewelry making, sprang, smocking, blacksmithing and singing.
16. Do you have an SCA-oriented web site (to show off projects, keep dress diaries, etc.)?
No.
17. Do you maintain a hairstyle that is more period style than modern? How about any other part of your appearance?
I grew out my hair but I kept the bangs.
18. Do you tell "No $###, there I was" stories? (Admit it.)
Absolutely. To me the camraderie is the best part of Pennsic, so I can't talk about Pennsic without telling stories about the goofy stuff we do in our camp.
19. Authenticity is Fun. Yes or no?
No. I think it is a hell of a lot of work, which is what makes me appreciate it when I see it.
20. Is there one modern thing at events that really bugs you?
I think people are so used to going to restaurants that just because they are paying for an SCA dayboard or feast they expect to have their needs fully met. I've seen or heard about people with allergies confronting the cook before a feast. Some are perfectly reasonable, however, it's the "I'm the customer, dammit!" attitude that is the modern thing that bothers me. (Yes, I know this sounds like a personality issue, but I swear it's gotten a lot more frequent.)
Bonus Question! 21. Everyone has a shameful garb/accessory mistake hidden somewhere in their past. What's yours? (We're all friends here, we promise not to laugh. Much.)
I have a black velour tunic that's really comfy.
