Chronicler

by Vicountess Talitha von Kopke
(being now Duchess Emma Fitzwilliam, OP)

This officer is easy to support-- if you're a fellow officer, give him a copy of your report at the populace meeting so he can publish it. If you know something about cooking, submit a recipe for publication. If you know how to do a medieval appropriate subject (and this can be anything from making garb to hiding the modern world appearance of something, to advice on what to eat or wear at a tourney to making armour, beds or the kitchen sink [I'm not kidding]), submit the directions for publication.If you went to a tourney and want to share the event with others, submit a tale for publication. If you're a bard, submit a tale or song for publication. If you're an artist, submit some artwork for publication. If you heard a funny, SCA related joke or quip, submit it for publication. If you host meetings, practices, or workshops, submit time and location for publication.

Anybody notice a pattern here?  Don't think of your chronicler as a writer; think of her as a compiler and publisher. The more you support your chronicler, the better your newsletter will be.
