>From Gwynydd Unto Diana d'Avignon:
You make some very good points in your post - the only thing that I would
add is that some of us joined for the dressing up and then found ourselves
getting more and more interested in actual period subjects! It can be a
slow process, but it is better to allow the person to reach that point
themselves than to force it on them IMO. Mind you, I would balk at the
"elf" ears too!
Ynys Fawr is a very tolerant Barony, and that is just the way I like it. We
do respect attempts at authenticity, but at the same time, I have never
received so much as a dirty look for my headress with garb conflicts! (I
don't sew and am dependant on other's generosity, or sales!) Nor does
anyone mind if a story I tell is out of period - in fact I think that they
would only notice if I mentioned potatoes or aeroplanes! I know how much
research I have done into a story and that is good enough for me (mind you,
if I am really proud of what I have found out, anyone who speaks to me
afterwards is likely to hear all about it).
