Whether justifiably or not, I consider myself a bit of a documentation maven and while original pieces present a slightly greater challenge than a primary or secondary source period piece, they are by no means all that difficult to document. I recommend starting with the judging forms -- old, proposed and Gulf Wars -- and asking yourself how you would answer the criteria if they were questions rather than statements. If that doesn't help, feel free to contact me off list.

Ma'am. The problem I see with that? Is most of the A&S venues and<br>competitions require more documentation than is either readily<br>available or can be applied to origional pieces. By limiting it to<br>A&S competition rules, that would limit bardic severely. Yes, having
<br>more appear in A&S competitions would be wonderful, but making that<br>the main goal of Bards would be a different name on the same<br>problem... with even fewer options.<br><br>~Svetlana<br><br>On 11/8/06, gail young <
