  1. Petition for universal freedom of expression?  While I wish it was a bit stronger in America (corporations/bullying/NDAs, etc, loopholes), it’s still pretty damn strong and should be a minimum, IMO. 

    That said, yeah, some people might feel confident accessing this website from work, on a text-only level, but pictures can change the dynamic.

    Bones:

    I have to confess, I was wincing through this entire story, mostly for the scat but also because of the savagery of the religion in this. It's very funny, because as a pagan myself, I'm more used to seeing my beliefs portrayed with such venom, and I find I'm no more comfortable with the shoe being on the other foot, so to speak.

    But really, as a story of the perils of indoctrination, and abuse, this is outstanding. A cure for any residual late-night munchies, but that could prove to be an unexpected bonus, perhaps the grace note for wading through the effluvia.

    Thanks for the review!  He’s a pawn and I intend to bring this character back.  (After all, I spent that effort breaking him in :) )  And yes, the story was a bit gritty, as I typically like to write them, though the nec/scat was a first (Halloween seemed like an excellent time to get in on nec).

    uuuugh! Jesus I had a root canal when I was 14… Which was… fuck math. 17 years ago? I remember flesh burning but I didn’t feel the drill at least! So yeah, might be a good analogy for good critical reviews lol. If done right, it’s followed by a little pain and a lot of relief? And if done harshly and with little regard for the patient: drill on nerve!

    As I understand it, the new tools make it more painless.  That same tooth, busted it a few years earlier too, so it’s got a “temporary” dental cap on it… and that “temporary” cap has turned thirty, older than a number of my coworkers, makes me feel ancient.

    Well, I went back, and it seems I wasn’t that far off the end, after all. And you were right, I ducked out at the worst bit, just as it was about to be over, lol.

    So all in all, good. I can’t decide whether the actual adults in this world (I know this is Minor2, and really your characters are old enough for me to think of them as young adults, but for the sake of argument, I’m on about the old people) are just as fucked up and believe all this stuff, or if they’re kind of sinister. I’m going with sinister. Oh, and I still think that campsite had a lot to do with it. Take one mentally unstable young man, add a dash of terror (because that kind of place does bring terror, whether you’d be up for admitting to it or not), and this could easily be the result.

    No one likes to hang around dead people except for slightly creepy mortuary attendants… ;)

    I don’t mind the handholding readers through the worst of it.  (Tags tend to be blunt instruments, no distinction between a few snow flakes and a blizzard, but that’s a digression for another day.)  Also, I tend to write minor2’s as young adults.  And I love to mess up my characters :)  [as an example from Dale’s Game, Dorcia’s family tree has some ingrowth to it.]  

    In this universe, priests do tend to be pedophiles, so I’ll let you work that out with the Reverend, but he also does believe at least some of what he’s saying, or at least in what he’s trying to achieve in the long run, ignoring his fetish for Altar boys.  I do have plans to explore some of this in Dolbourne Chronicles, which I’ll get back to after I finish “the repair guy” … it’s a convoluted journey, and I enjoy writing these oneshots to focus on a narrow bit of plot/character development.

    Thanks for the feedback, and I’ll let you have fun with the mortuary attendants..

    LOL I was gonna say the same thing earlier about good critical reviews. But I was scared that would discourge people from reviewing kuz they didn’t wanna hurt me lol. But you put it well. I know they’re good for me and I want them, even if they sting. Seriously though, fuck dental work. 

    :hug:

    I still remember the drill tingling on my nerve, the dentist doing the filing, for the root canal, twenty five years ago, and that was before the drugs wore off; which really made me a miserable teenager.
