I too, love to hear such stories. When posted on a public newsgroup or
maillist, I will often add them to the files in my Florilegium so that
others that missed them the first time or who join the Society in the
future may read them too.

I encourage others to post such stories. If you have written such a
story for a local newsletter, please consider sending a copy to me
for consideration for inclusion in my files. With such articles sent
to my by email, the author retains the copyright and credit and I will 
remove or update the article upon request of the author.

In the past month or two, I added a large amount of new material to
my Ansteorran history file. Those who haven't looked at the file 
since then might want to take a look. The file is in the SCA STORIES
section:
Anst-hist-msg     (97K) 11/ 3/97    Histories of the Kingdom of Ansteorra.

There are other files in this section about the other kingdoms. My files
