Wow, this morning I realized that the end of an era may be upon me. Not a bad thing but it is certainly disconcerting. Over the past few months, my local SCA fencing contacts here on LJ with local members of the Cross and Dragon have been steadily falling away. At one time, about half the local company were mutual friends on the list here. Slowly those have faded to one. Some folks I had falling outs and have been happy to ban from here. Some simply stopped writing and I pulled from the list. Some de-friended me. Maybe they've lost interest, or figured I was doing fine, or wasn't going to add to the drama llama show. For good or bad, I'm apparently on the outside again.
