OK, last Maelstrom post for a bit, then I promise normal service will be resumed. Or what passes for normal around here, anyway.
Having finally finished working out who the character I played is, and where he comes from, and a hundred other little details that mean nothing to anyone but me, but will define how he develops in the next and subsequent festivals, I find myself a little disappointed in my performance at event 1. I didn't really play the character so much as play myself and a stereotype. The character I now have, after writing a bit of his history, is very similar but subtly different in several places, and had he been that (much more rounded, complete) individual at event 1, some things might have been a bit different...
Meh. Spilt milk, and it's all behind me: at event 2, the character will be complete, properly kitted etc, and things should be even better than they were at event 1. I hope.
Now, in and around writing my thesis, going to German class and the other load of things I'm doing at the moment, I have to try to find the time to learn some Viking epics to recite next time I'm asked for a story :)
Oh, incidentally, the University Fencing Club are running a tournament on Sunday at the campus sports centre. People are welcome to spectate if they're in the area, though I suspect most who would are already attending.
