[Nordskogen] Deadline for Quill Submissions is Saturday

[Crystal Quill]

Reminder: The deadline for submissions to the May issue of _The Crystal Quill_ is NOON on this Saturday, April 21.
   
  The theme for the May issue of _The Crystal Quill_ is certainly delicious: “foodstuffs and food preservation”. What kinds of foodstuffs did folks eat in your time/place/culture? How did they preserve the food for storage and later consumption? In what seasons were you likely to eat various foods, and in what state -- i.e. fresh or preserved?
   
  This is another great opportunity to go out, do a little research, and add some depth to your persona. Or just go learn something new, persona-related or not. Of course, if you already have information on this topic at hand, then what are you waiting for? Send it to me!
   
  What I'm looking for:
   
  - articles
  - suggested resources for further reading (Internet or hardcopy)
  - artwork! (sketches and cartoons are great)
  - announcements (birthdays, anniversaries, archaeology finds, 
    "classifieds," you name it)
   
  Please read the SUBMISSION GUIDELINES found on the _Crystal Quill_ page of the Nordskogen Web site, www.nordskogen.northshield.org/quill.html. THESE ARE IMPORTANT!
          
  Also consider starting an article now one on of the other upcoming themes:
   
  - Jun 07 -- wood, metal, bone and leather (What products did your persona’s culture make from these materials? What tools and techniques were used? What project are you working on? What have you made before? What resources and tips do you have for others working in these media or on similar projects?)
   
  - Jul 07 -- the peasants are revolting! (Tell us what it was like to be lower-class in your persona’s society, or even just what the social classes were in your society. And if there were ever any uprisings of the lower classes, be sure to mention them -- the juicier, the better!)
   
  This is YOUR newsletter. Send me cool stuff!
   
  Yours in Service,
