I like the story and it has potential for a series but I think you should look for an editor.
So I'm not a Methodist and my days of visiting churches were a long time ago, but I've been in a dozen or so Methodist churches and I've never once seen the Stations of the Cross. In fact, except maybe for 1 or 2 High Church Episcopal churches, I don't believe I've ever seen them in any Protestant churches.
I have never participated in anything like this BUT I had 2 good friends who did. I enjoyed listening to their stories about it. Your details were good enough that I could tell you had done this yourself. I also enjoyed the story. Both of my friends have passed on now, but thanks for bringing up some memories.
Thank you for the detail of the Methodist church. I appreciate the insight. I’ll refer to insider friends about those little nuggets as I continue writing. It’s helpful.
This sounds a lot more like the SCA or Adrian Empire than any Renfair I’ve ever attended. I assume that the upcoming event mentioned in Pennsylvania is the famous Pennsic War? I was involved with the SCA for several years about a decade ago.
Excellent story, but I think it could have benefited from a bit more physical descriptions, especially of the characters. This needs to be continued, I’m looking forward to reading any sequels.
A very enjoyable story and one I hope you continue with further chapters.
Generally speaking, groups that do strict historic costuming would almost never have leather pants for the men. As a historic re-enactor and Renfair guy myself, it stuck out a bit, but odds are people who aren't familiar with the topic probably wouldn't have noticed. Other than that, very good story & hoping for more chapters!
Pretty good story with a rather weak ending. I 'm not really sure what the last line meant? "Ben thought about August. He had vacation time. He'd take the week off and head to Pennsylvania". BTW- I'm not a member of the Grammar Nazi brigade but you misspelled Pennsylvania to further obfuscate the meaning of the statement.
There was one issue when SHE DECIDED HER DECISION. Reached or made her decision might have been a better choice. I'm sure it was a spell checker error.
Onto a serious complaint. The friend at work who got our hero involved. We never returned to teach him, nor was he present at the Melee. That just seems a big miss as he is the reason we are involved to begin with.
As there wasn't much backstory on our cute redhead i would guess we will hear about her in your next installment. And this story deserves a sequel. It was fantastic. I might add that some SCA guys train for several hours a day and our hero may face much better competition as he improves.
