About House Fine Lames

House Fine Lames (pronounced 'Finn Lam,') was formed in the mid-1990s by a small group of late period French personas who banded together so as not to be consumed by the hordes of vikings who surrounded them. They soon adopted a few more folks, who (while not French, nor as late period) had lovely singing voices and great garb. Over the years, we have added like-minded friends.

The household consists of, and is open to, people who do some or all of the following: dress well, sing well, fight well, dance well, research well, costume well. We're a pretty low-key household - there's not a lot of advertising or requirements made of members. We're just people who share common interests, and therefore often camp together, eat together at feasts, and so on. We are radically queer-positive, inclusive, and anti-racist.

 ==About House Fine Lames==
-House Fine Lames (that's French, and pronounced Finn Lahm, for any philistines who may visit) was formed in the mid 1990's by a small group of late period French personas who banded together so as not to be consumed by the hordes of Vikings who surrounded them. They soon adopted a few more folks, who, while not French, nor as late period, had lovely singing voices and great garb. Over the years we have added like-minded friends.

-And so, the household consists of, and is open to, people who dress well, sing well, fight well, dance well, and costume well (pick any 3 or more!). We're a pretty low-key household - there's not a lot of advertising or requirements made of members - we're just people who share common interests, and therefore often camp together, eat together at feasts, and so on.
