Folks--

This came across my kingdom elist.  If any of you have comments they can be
sent to her at, mariasol @ fastmail.fm  I'd like to see them too.

Greetings one and all,

I'm curious to hear what experience (if any) anyone has had with this
site: www.questia.com  I came across it today while doing some on-line
research. It's a paid service, and labels itself as the world's largest
on-line library (scribes may care to view the illuminated works that are
available). Subscribers appear to receive full access to all the works
available in the library (e.g. the complete book rather than limited
pages or works). Interesting site.

Hi, 

Reference pop quiz... Can anyone identify this author/title
based on the plotline as described? 

This person posted to SCA East but no one seems to recognize
the story. I've asked if the person was a child when they read the
book (juvenile title?) so it can be anchored in time a bit more easily.

Hi, 

Your posting could be better answered by a professional librarian
at a public library. They answer these kinds of questions daily 
and may have good resources to draw upon to track down 
your book.  Your local public or academic library probably has
an online service to which you can email the description. 

Of course, you might get lucky on the sca-east list and someone
may know.. 

If you find the title and author though, please do share.. <smile!>

Subject: [EK] OT: Looking for name and author of SF book
To: sca-east@indra.com


I hope the members of this list and the moderator will forgive me an
OT posting when the list is slow, but I am looking for the name and
author of a science fiction book I read about 30 years ago and I
figure we have enough SF and Fantasy readers that I'll probably find
the answer here quicker than anywhere else. To keep OT posting to a
minimum, please reply to me off list.

I remember some of the plot: a man goes forward in time to a future
era where mankind has so advanced that they don't have to do any work
and as a result they don't have any lines on their hands. I think
they lived underground and were mostly concerned with aesthetics. A
few rebellious younger members of the society study the past,
particularly engines and machinery and one of these shoots some kind
of artist (poet?) during the artist's show, which causes major
problems in the society because murder is so unusual in their
society. The narrator is staying with a family and is in love with
the daughter of the family. Sometime after the shooting, she runs
away and becomes the mistress of the military leader of a renegade
band of humans that are trying to return to a more primative and
natural human life. I think the narrator tries to be an envoy between
the "normal" society and the renegades and meets up again with the
girl. I don't remember what happens after that, but that should be
more than enough plot for someone to identify the book if they have
read it.

Thanks,

Triste

Yes, apparently they did, because I ran into one of them in the marketplace who told me when and where, which I believe was a week ago tonight (Wednesday). Unfortunately, I didn't make it because that was both Midnight Madness night AND our Household "Family Night" dinner and annual meeting where members are inducted, recognised and those who couldn't be with us are remembered and thought of. 

For my own part, I was busy having a bit of an emotional meltdown, due to nearly two weeks of exposure to heat combined with physical and mental exhaustion. It seems to happen annually close to the end of War, except last year, when we were too busy bailing out water from the torrential rains that fell as a result of Hurricane Charley paying an untimely visit the last few days of War. 

Fortunately, one of my Squire brothers was there to comfort me, hold me and let me cry on his shoulder and get it all out of my system. I felt cleansed, cathartic and much better after having a good long cry in his pavilion. I'd already spent three days on the battlefield by that point and was totally spent and had two more to go before War would be over. Even with as much fluids as I was consuming and good solid food (lots of meat, potatoes and veggies) I was eating, I wasn't getting the sleep I required from too many overly warm nights that made my tent feel stuffy and uncomfortable. 

I now have a battery powered fan that will keep it much cooler next year if we have another scorcher. And anyway, our campmaster is talking about buying up some good small canvas wall tents that we who still camp in nylon could rent and not have to store and transport ourselves as they'd be stored in our camp trailer, so I wouldn't have to concern myself as to where I could store it (I live in a tiny apartment the size of a small shoebox) and how I could transport it (I drive my entire two weeks of Pennsic gear to Cooper's Lake in an ancient tiny VW Golf).

We quit camping at the War two or more decades ago.
My husband came home and announced no more camping. I found even then that
working in A/C every day at the library didn't make it very easy to go 
and camp
when one isn't conditioned to the heat or humidity. I've noticed the
heat the past two years I've been. Of course certain medications make
it worse too. Ah, when we were young, healthy, and not on meds for
arthritis and allergies and then again once upon a time I could walk 
places too.

Having been off and on since PW IV (now that was rain)
I also am afraid that I still prefer the war experience as it used to be 
when it was only
a weekend or 4 or 5 days and perhaps 1000 people.
We kinda did the best of the war experience even now. Choose to go for 4 
nights
and then leave. But for 2005-2008 we'll be home because high school 
starts with practices
the first week of August. No getting around that until the son graduates.

Maybe I am just getting old or I've been around too long.

Noble Librarians!

Greetings from Solveig! I have several questions which I hope that you 
can help me with. Several people have been insisting that I should 
publish my pamphlet on Japanese names under my mundane name instead of 
my society name as I have been doing. Here are the questions:

1. Should I do it?
2. If I do switch to mundane name on the thing, how should previous 
publication history under SCA name be indicated?

Thank you very much!

Greetings,

As a herald, and a cataloger, yes!, it would help
folks find your work better if published under your
modern name. For most SCA works written under SCA
name, I usually put "Smith, Jane [writing as Drusilla
Oaksbottom]" on my bibliographies/citations when I can
find the person's modern name so that further research
has both items of information available (but this
doesn't help folks who don't know that one is writing
under a psuedonym originally). When teaching I try to
give folks clues on purchasing if finding the item is
new/obscure to them "get this thru the Stock Clerk,
Black Sheep Books, etc."

The good news is, your authority record at LC (below)
is already tracking psuedonyms but it would be better
if your modern name were the main heading (100 field)
and move your "solveig" name into the 400, a quick
note to LC/CPSO can make this change, but it helps if
your new publication with modern name is already in
place. (I gave at poke at the NLC website and couldn't
find their authorities online...) I agree with Scott
about a note regarding SCA name. I've seen these on
the title page or verso page, it depends on how
forward you want to be with the information.

Hope this helps,
Friday/Rafaella

Hey folks-

 

I just found out tonight that the theme for the Scholastic book fairs this
year is The Kingdom of Reading.  I've already been asked to do two
story-telling gigs that I'm going to try to turn into demos.

 

This theme is the theme everywhere that does them so you may want to keep
your eye/ear out for the opportunity.

 

Scholastic is a book vendor that focuses on the school market.
