BTB Chapel

wrong category

I'm sorry, but where was the LW theme to this story ? If it was there, then I totally missed it. I just couldn't find any character here to remotely relate to. They just all seemed so plastic. The story just seemed to move in fits and starts, when it did move, maybe others will find whatever "IT" was the story was going for, but I didn't.

No idea what the fuck this was supposed to be.

What a unique idea

Good writing too. Nice to see something different in LW once in a while.

Incredibly Creative!

Off the wall imagination!

3*s

A new, creative story. 3*s for it.
One little point bothers me. At first I was thinking 5 pounds of what? What is it that they have to give 20 pounds?? Finally I understood english money, lol.

AMerryman

Had me worried a bit there that this was a snuff story. I've enjoyed your stories for a while. Please continue.

Very Original!

It takes quite an imagination to do a completely original story but you did a great job. Well written and very original. Thanks!

As Monty Python would say...

And now for something a little different! 3*

What is it with the Brits and burning people

jk, good story.

amusing take

Ogg I was half surprised that the burning remained fake on Sunday. I half expected them to get burned for real to keep the secret. Good story overall, no one was cuckolded as an extra bonus.

Hmm...

Yes it was quite different.

However, I call it a missed opportunity to shed some real light on human nature.
The shouts of "Burn the B**ch/Bas**d" were one clue, but another was the shouts of 'No!' to murdering the reporters (as was the silence of others at that point).

However, the real story here would have been what drew the individual people to such a "chapel"/society and if/how they were helped, especially psychologically, by being there. Were relationships with family & friends improved over time, or did this make no discernable difference? That the whole thing was a fraud in the end was kind of regretable, as a real study in how this sort of venting of emotions for those in bad relationships may have had some real up sides - and down-sides. Those stories could have had great merit, and some interesting emotional teeth to them.

Interesting Take

Given the number of people that I have seen turning into mobs trying to get justice by their own hands I would say that this was a fantasy story.

Pure BS

I repeat, pure BS...unreal

Kind of quaint, and original, but still mostly lame.

The motives and actions just seemed so contrived and fake. It was obvious with the preliminaries about the chimney and the hay and the smoke that something was supposed to be burning, so it was an easy guess that maybe they were actually burning bitches? But then the whole tone of the people involved was simply too innocent. And the reasons given for the secrecy and such were ridiculous. So the whole plot was just too far fetched.

But thanks for trying.

Thanks***

For the read.

For nothing...wish I could give less.

That was just weird.

I mean really strange. I guess I expected either more drama or a more interesting conclusion. Not very interesting to read. Maybe next time?

Tank you, king of Bashan

For this lovely little laugh.
Nice fun.
D.S.

Reading this made me feel like Charlie Brown after Lucy pulled the football away

So it turned out their first impression was right. There really wasn't a story there.

Different and Interesting

I enjoyed this. It was different and you held my interest. My only complaint is the story seemed to move a bit sluggishly. Otherwise terrific job!
Thanks and please keep writing.

If this is an entry in the April Fools Contest

I missed the joke.

Anon - stick to the story, please.

I have deleted two anon comments for being personal attacks on me, not about the story. Anon can say the story is rubbish, boring, ridiculous or whatever, but attacking me as an individual is going too far.

Thank You, Ogg ...

... I was anticipating something evil to happen right up to the last minute. The irony is while I was expecting an April Fool's trick on our hapless heroes, it turned out to be on me! Funny! I liked it.

nthusiastic

Nice twist

I had begun worrying about their fates as the story went along. It was all too easy for me to see them betrayed at the last second. It was refreshing to see the final result.

I liked it

Thanks for posting this story, I kept waiting for them to be really burned at the end. Once they were in the tunnel with the actress I was worrying that she would take a secret way out and leave the other two to find the door locked and the bale to start moving again. It wouldn't matter if the chains were plastic or not. They would burn.

But you saved them.
