I am currently a Protegé, although I did not actively seek this out. At the time, I had been trying, very much like yourself, to figure out a way to find a Laurel with whom to apprentice. I never really thought of myself as what some on the Protegé e-mail list jokingly refer to as a "service goob". Oh, sure, I'd held dozens of offices, autocratted events, done countless demos and other such stuff, but I always thought of myself as a scribe, first and foremost. At times, I still feel this way. Like yourself, I still long for an apprenticeship with a Laurel, but I figure that if and when it was meant to be, then it will happen. Until then, I continue to do scrolls and try to move forward with my art and find ways to advance my skills accordingly. Hard, with no one to teach me skills that are a tad difficult to learn on one's own, but I figure I've pretty much done so for the past 24+ years and I think I've done a pretty good job so far of learning what I have by myself....even though, as a visual learner, reading stuff out of books just doesn't cut it for me. I need to SEE something done in order to learn it. Now, as for how I became a Protegé.....well, about, oh, I think it was about 8 years ago now, I autocratted a War Maneuvers event at the end of June 1994. Actually, let me preface that and say that I was the co-autocrat. OK, so we got this awesome site really cheap, so we went out Friday morning to set up before the crowds were due to start arriving Friday afternoon and evening. Only.....a nasty cold front moved through and it began to rain....and rain.....and rain, and it rained all night....and into the next day, the rains continued to pour and pour and pour. Our site became a mud puddle and the temperatures were unseasonably cold for an outdoor camping event, and the rain added to everyone's misery.....including my co-autocrat, who, in a fit, quit on me in tears Saturday morning, leaving me to try to salvage the event alone all day Saturday. So there I was, stuck with running the show in a torrential downpour. I just hunkered down and did what needed to be done, I guess. Found folks to delegate various tasks to, got feast off on time, despite the food having to be driven from one end of the fairgrounds to the other where feast was being held in a barn, and all came off well and everyone had a great time and our event profit was terrific! Everyone I spoke to went home happy, despite wading through mud and torrential rains and wet tents and a soggy camping area and the fighting area being a virtual mud puddle, but folks said they still had a grand time of it. So Sunday morning, in a local restaurant, waking up and thawing out over a hot cup of coffee, His Grace Duke Dagan du Darregonne asked me to be his Protegé. Slack jawed, I told him yes, but that I would also like to think it over and would probably accept a belt from him at Pennsic two months later, and so at Pennsic 23, I was Protegé'd. At times, it has felt like it kind of dropped in my lap without my going and looking for it, but obviously, His Grace saw something in me that he liked, I guess. That's how I became a Protegé. I've had two brief apprentice-ships, but neither one worked out for both of us. I'd like to try again sometime, but the two failed relationships left me slightly gun-shy. So for now, I wear a yellow belt. Even though at times, I'd rather be wearing a green one. ~Saradwen Midrealm =================================================================== To unsubscribe from this list, send email to with a blank Subject: line and unsubscribe scribes in the body of the message.

One thing that you might consider that you did not mention is entering A&S competitions. Begin with local competitions, listen to criticisms, do not go ballistic when someone whose acquaintance with scrolls is limited to Charmin has very nasty things to say about your work. Listen and learn; take classes. As you get better, people from your barony or shire will notice and begin recommending you for awards. Get some scrolls from your scroll herald (that person will be on your kingdom website under Heralds). Practice filling them out until they begin looking like something that you would love to get yourself. Turn in the good ones and get some more. Take classes (I'm repeating myself deliberately). Attend wars: they almost always have good classes and you can learn from others. Best of all, if you are free the third weekend in June, our group is sponsoring the Known World Heraldic & Scribal Symposium in NOLA (or so we hope if our bid is successful). Get on your local scribal email list and listen and ask questions. After a while get on the SCA scribal list. When you start feeling good about your work, then look for a local Laurel (if any) who does scrolls. Approach her/him, and indicate that the more that you learn about the scribal arts, the more you realize that you have to learn (if you do not feel this way, you do not know enough about scribal arts) and ask whether s/he might be willing to take on an apprentice. Who knows? If you ask the right people the right questions about their work, they might decide that you would make a good apprentice without your having to approach them. Remember that no one likes to look bad. I doubt that most Laurels would take on an apprentice whom they did not believe had what it takes to become a Laurel. The better that you and your work appear, the better your chances become of becoming an apprentice. Remember that both quality and quantity count--so never rest on your laurels until you become an apprentice. In most cases your Laurel will be giving you advice then that you should probably follow. - ----- From: "Pixel, Goddess and Queen" Cc: Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 2:21 PM Subject: Re: [scribes]: FW: Apprentice question... > > Well, I'm not a Peer, nor a dependent, but many of my friends are, and the > wisdom I have heard from more than one of them, both for a Peer taking a > dependent and for someone thinking of becoming a dependent is this: > > Consider that you have just had the worst day EVER at work.

Well, my experience with A&S competitions is not so good, and not because of any undue (or due) criticism. I entered one A&S competition, with a lanyard for armored combat that I had made, based on a 15th century treatise on the tournament (text and illustration). I had spent about one week working on it. It got good marks and comments. It beat out a 38 page research paper on an English peasant rebellion that had taken months for the lady to research and put together, and I didn't believe that it should have. The scoring system used for A&S competitions at the time gave higher points by default to actual items, and lower points to research papers, because there was no way to award points for period construction for a paper. The lady whose paper I beat has since become a Companion of the Laurel, for calligraphy and illumination. I haven't entered any A&S competitions since, although I'm finally thinking about doing so again. I can't enter the local baronial A&S competitions, because they're closed to anyone having a kingdom A&S award (which I have for, among other things, calligraphy and illumination). That leaves kingdom A&S competitions, which tend to be for classes of items that aren't what I do. A&S competitions are not a be-all and end-all... =================================================================== To unsubscribe from this list, send email to with a blank Subject: line and unsubscribe scribes in the body of the message.

If it is something we were supposed to look at, more description would have been nice so we knew it was safe to open. I have *not* opened it and won't until I hear back. Thanks!

Generally I try to avoid posting files to the list - URLs are more acceptible by most people. Maybe you could post it online, or give us an announcement of what this file was? - --Kayleigh In a message dated Thu, 12 Sep 2002 7:19:24 AM Eastern Standard Time, Dorinda.E.Courtine-White@Cummins.com writes: > > > > Was this something we were supposed to look at or a virus?
