A Question of Fate Options

[ThatSkyrimGuy]

Brief Intro By The Author

A Question of Fate would be the title of my piece.

I have been back and forth about trying to start and post a fan fic piece. The idea has always intrigued me, but I never considered myself to be a writer, let alone a good writer. I have read a sampling of some of the works that are posted on this site, and quite frankly, it is intimidating. The material is amazing. I must say say that despite the intimidation, it is also inspiring. So I am willing to throw caution to the wind and go for it. There are a few provisos. I work for a living. Often times, the hours I work are long. There may be periods of dormancy in this thread. I will apologize in advance for that. Life outside the internet does have it's restrictions. Also, I am sure that there is an unspoken etiquette that states, "You read mine and comment, and I shall do the same". This is also where I could run into trouble, for the same reasons that there may be dormant periods in this thread. There are stories on this site that I could never hope to read all the way through, with triple digit page counts, while I try to keep posting my own story and work through everyday life. So, with all that being said, I will wait to start posting chapters until I get a sense of what the audience demands. Please let me know if I should start posting a fan fic piece, based on what you have just read.

Thanks.

My knowledge of ales, beers and meads is embarrassingly limited to the ability to properly spell ‘Budweiser Clydesdales’. Therefore, I found the lesson on ales very interesting. And, no doubt of great interest to Val as he daydreams of retiring to brew his own ale!

Val was very smooth as he parlayed the trader’s theft into a bedroll, small bag of gold and a paying task.

I like that you seem to limit his quiver capacity, and think that the quantity you use is sound. Quite some time ago, I adopted 25 as a max quiver capacity.

So, it looks like Val is off for a dungeon crawl. Hopefully, he’ll survive and even find that missing dragon claw. I'm anxious to see the tactics he'll use without dragons in his face or Nords to babysit at his side (assuming that he's going solo).


Nit? Not sure if it’s intentional or not that the last two letter of this episode’s title are of a smaller font than the rest of the title.

Nit: ’So I just laid there, reflecting on my plans.’ - - Here you want lay vs laid. The verbs lay vs lie are quite confusing. To lay is to place something and requires an object. To lie is to recline. To make things much more confusing, the past of lay is laid, while the past tense of lie is lay. Googling ‘lay vs lie’ can generate some clarity on sorting out the differences of this complex little brain twister. One such site that can explain this better than I, and includes a little chart is here: http://www.writersdigest.com/online-editor/lay-vs-lie
