• Personal attacks on individuals or groups
• Harsh criticism of the behavior of individuals or groups
• Copyrighted material used without permission
• Use of racial or religious stereotypes
• Offensive words, phrases, or images

All submissions must be in Word format.

Call for Submissions

The Voice is looking for articles in the following areas:

  • Advice for newcomers or on dealing with newcomers
  • Articles about life in the middle ages or in the SCA
  • Poetry, songs, or (SHORT) fiction either in a medieval style or relating to the middle ages or the SCA
  • Articles on how appropriate seasonal holidays were celebrated in period (Halloween in the September/October issue or Christmas in the November/December issue for example)
  • Original art by our cantons artists – especially for the cover (must look good reproduced in black and white as I don't intend to publish in color)
  • A comic strip about the middle ages or the SCA would be highly welcome
  • Reviews of books or movies dealing with the middle ages.
