[MR] There Will Be Dragons and the SCA

[David Chessler]

"Folk of the Air" by Peter S. Beagle has an SCA slant as well. SCA people have
to fight an outbreak of demons or Fey.

There are references to the SCA in David Weber's "Honor Harrington" series.
The "SCA" reenacts the 20th C, with firearms and gasoline motor boats, etc.

I recall a time travel novel in which a 16th C person is brought to the
present at a Renaissance faire. he doesn't think much of modern rapier
fighters. Can't remember the author or title.

Mercedes Lackey has a series about bards and faerie that takes place in modern
times, mostly at the LA Renaissance Faire, but there is no specific SCA
reference that I can recall
