[MR] Atlantia Digest, Vol 57, Issue 28

[Angela Faye Yau]

Greetings Anne,
 As an apprentice and protege who has moved to Altantia from Trimaris last year and is now very far flung from my "Moms", I'd like to know if there is one document with all of these very helpful hints with the required format for Atlantia A&S.  Your explanation of making things clear as day is great,but I tend to shy away from doing entries because I do not find the time to do the research and the project, I just try to do the best work I can on my projects.  I am very interested in doing some construction only entries for items that I feel have been done and the limited resources have been researched and documented by many other SCA folks and I agree with their assessments but feel that I can go forward from that research to make a more accurate construction of the piece.  Is there any mechanism for doing this?  I don't want to duplicate the use of resources with similar conclusions but rather to credit my SCA sources as is their due and discuss how
 their research supports what I construct.  I can say that I have been pulled into service at the last minute to help my Laurel with judging a piece because she knew that I was familiar with that art and thus could help her interpret what she saw and judged.  As a novice, I love visiting art sci displays and competition because I can learn so much from them and that is where the very best of the medieval arts can be found in our group.  I hope to someday reach the goal of presenting my own work here in my new kingdom, but I want to make sure that if I do,  I do the best possible job that I can. :)
Thank you,
Lady Faye de Trees, Barony of Bright Hills

Another idea is this: "Difficulty" is usually a judging criteria, so
 put a
section in your documentation titled as Difficulty.  Educate the reader
 on
the topic: what is more difficult about an Old Swedish Viking
 Snarfleblat as
opposed to a New Danish Viking Snarfleblat? 
I go so far as to suggest YOU use the judging criteria, grade your own
 work,
and use it as a front page executive summary in your documentation.
  Make it
easy on the judges!  
Quoting again: > either compete or display... as long as you're sharing
 your
work and your documentation, you're educating us all, and that's what
 it's
all about... not the scores at the end of the day. :)
