Donovan is neutral on surprise being a necessity for receiving awards - he recognizes it as a large part of Eastern culture but is not specifically averse to it nor does he feel that it must be a thing.

Donovan is generally of the belief that surprising him with being called into court is unnecessary and can complicate matters such as making sure that he's at an event, in Court, or remotely prepared for anything.

If he is to receive an award, the two people who should be contacted (both for scheduling and general notification) are [[Lilias de Cheryngton]] and [[Anastasia da Monte]].

Introduction

Donovan Shinnock got involved with the SCA mumbly-mumble years ago, back when Carolingian fencing was still held at the Boston Fencing Club and schalgers weren't even thought of. Since then, he's jumped into fencing and has developed a growing interest in period fencing manuals, heraldry, teaching, helping the fencing program in general, bardic shenanigans, and avoiding witnesses when he gets into trouble. He is also inordinately fond of foxes.

Persona

This is a work in progress. Late-period Irish-English, very likely from inside the English-controlled area, if not having moved to England itself. Very likely left home because it was kind of going downhill fast.

His name uses the Anglicized spelling as it's late period - and out of a kindness and love for heralds.

Notes Regarding Future Awards

Donovan is generally of the belief that surprising him with being called into court is unnecessary and can complicate matters such as making sure that he's at an event, in Court, or remotely prepared for anything. He would much rather know that he should be present for Court at a particular time and place (though telling him why isn't particularly necessary) so that he can be somewhat presentable.

If he is to receive an award, Lilias de Cheryngton should be contacted both for scheduling and general notification. She can also confirm if/how online awards can be handled.

Writs are very much preferred.
