Actually it was started by SCA Members who fled government persecution. Also a
interesting side note. Christopher Stasheff had never even heard of the SCA when he
started the "warlock" series. He only found out at a book signing when several
members came up to him in garb and basically said "You know your writing about us".
They later took him to an event and Voila' it was incorporated.

Actually a good number of writers of GOOD fantasy and mid level SCI-FI are or have
been members. Must be the atmosphere that leads to creativity or
something..................
