Storytelling elements

[Mark Ramsden]

I must stand corrected... evidently the stories did not change as much as
I had thought. *grin*

My current state is confused, I think.
(Glad to know things are normal *grin*)

I suppose, then, I'm wondering what this all implies for the telling of tales
within the SCA.  As soon as I find myself within reach of a library,
I am going to begin researching a few popular tales, but it seems a little
more complicated than I had thought (perhaps).

Somewhere, I was hoping to find several books of tales, such as Robin Hood,
Beowulf, etc. but what I find is likely to be altered by modern writers,
particularly in the case of Robin Hood (depending on the book).

Basically, how far may I stretch the C of SCA?  If I manage to contain the
important elements of plot, maintain the atmosphere, and tell it well, how
much do these little "atoms" of tale matter?

I find that much of the SCA is a balance between the C and the A, and at the
moment I'm finding it a bit tricky *grin*.
