Vivienne of the Sunlit Grove, of the West Kingdom (Stanford University, to
be precise).  Another pagan, to whomever made that comment.

To whomever wondered why lovers of medieval culture would be into computers
as well... it makes sense to me.  Imagination is imagination, and it is
needed in both good hacking and good Anachronizing.  At least of the people
I know, SCA people also tend to be Science Fiction fans.  Fantasy gaming 
and paganism are also common.  My own hypothesis is that once you are willing
to be unconventional, the barriers to doing all kinds of fun things fall down.

I could babble on about such things at length, but I'm sure someone has a 
clearer idea of what it is that makes the SCA (and/or fandom and/or paganism)
satisfying, and to whom.
