4) Would either of you equate "Crown" with the same rock-star attention you get with being, for lack of a better word, famous? (Even if only on a minor level)
Khaentlahn, I think you have the most experience with what it means to be "famous,"
To a certain degree, tho I was never "famous" in my own right.
It can be a challenge. From my perspective, it tends to feel like somebody wants something from you almost all the time. It's part of the territory whether you want it or not. The more that individual people "like" you as a person, the more prevalent the situation becomes. In public, you're rarely able to simply 'be', because someone invariably knows who you are and appears to think they have the right to capitalize on that knowledge in some manner.
I honestly don't wish to portray this as a horrible situation, because a lot of good can come of being "famous". You're the one in the public eye, therefore, many people look up to you, whether you feel you deserve it or not. It becomes a type of responsibility to show others the best example possible and hopefully derive good results from it. Who knows, but that the newbie you run into at that little event a month after you've become Crown might be the gentle 5 years from now that shows an amazing aptitude in some aspect of the SCA, but that they attribute their continued pleasure in the SCA to the attention you were kind enough to bestow on them all those years ago?
