Biography

Joshua MacDonald the Imperfekt (he/him/his) began in the SCA in the late 1980s in the East Kingdom in the Barony of Bhakail. He registered his name with the College of Heralds in 1993[1], received his (very imperfect) Award of Arms in 1995[2], and registered his device in 2003[3] while residing in the Barony of Calafia in the Kingdom of Caid. He has been very actively involved with Clan Blue Feather, starting the Clan encampment at Pennsic, hosting the annual Clan Blue Feather Ball & Fashion Cotillion (an ongoing Pennsic tradition), and co-autocratting the first Clan event in York, PA. He has attended every Pennsic War since 1990. For his ongoing work with the Clan, he was made a Baron of the Court of Their Majesties King Sven and Queen Siobhan of Æthelmearc (with kind permission of TRM Atlantia) at Pennsic in 2018.[4][5] He is also the administrator of the largest unofficial Pennsic War Facebook group[6], was a co-administrator of the largest SCA Facebook group[7] and helped build it up to its current state, and helps maintain various other unofficial SCA-related groups on various social media platforms. He is very interested in issues of inclusion, diversity, and equity in the SCA, as well as period calligraphy and Scottish history. He currently resides in the Kingdom of Atlantia in the Barony of Dun Carraig.
