All the Things You Are - Comments

eh, it's one of those things that you probably wouldn't know unless you've spent some time with SCA fighters, really. There are all kinds of rules regarding fighters and fighting to keep people safe. It's Creative Anachronism, so some creativity is to be expected in various areas.

SCA is unlike groups that recreate various wars and battles where period accuracy in everything is expected or required, like American Civil War re-enactment groups. Which isn't to say that some people don't put a lot of time, effort, and money into being accurate, because there are many who do. But it's not a requirement and for fighting, there are rules that make period accuracy impossible.

Oops, my bad. Thanks for the heads up

psssst, SCA fighters don't carry steel weapons in battles or tourneys. Safety before accuracy! Swords are usually rattan, a kind of bamboo, and covered in duct tape. In fact, most shields are made out of wood as it's lighter and a hell of a lot cheaper than metal. The point is to have fun but avoid serious injury, most fighters practice at most 1-2 hours a week, which is not enough to learn to fight with more accurate/period weapons. Also, anything metal with regards to weaponry or armor is expensive or hard to make. Most fighters start off as poor college kids and pretty much every fighter is responsible for purchasing or making all their own garb and gear.

At least, that's how it was done in the kingdom I lived in.

Thanks, that's why I made her evil Thanks for reading

I DO NOT like Vera! The most self centered woman I've seen since Paulina in Puckface (also a character I loathe). I hope that this is a good thing for Jags and Jalina (I think I spelled this wrong), a homecoming of sorts.

@ KIFF'SKINGDOM
Thanks a lot

Really like this!! So different from all the fan fics out there!!!

This is really coming along... :)

@ Ladyfiaran
You're most welcome. I know how sometimes the chapter need to take their own time. I've got 2 fics I'm working on myself.

@ Kenarik
Thanks for the comment, I'm working on the next chapter and it should be in a few days

Oh this is gonna be a FUN one! Please update when you can.

Awesome! I misinterpreted the authors note as saying this was a one shot (in two parts) and thus was done. And I was all, "but, but, nooooo, this was intriguing!" Glad you're going to continue at some point!

Yeah, I'm working on third chapter and I'll see if I can post the next chapter tomorrow. Thanks for reading

I really liked this. Are you really going to leave it there? It would make an interesting story, although not the 'traditional' romance necessarily.
