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.

Chapter 10 - Val has a lot of skills to tap for resources, very impressive guy!
The details on the making of beers/ales - very interesting details there, also Val's musings on his equipment. Geez, I hate to see him tackle Bleak Falls Barrow with only a bow and 24 arrows! Urk!
Chapter 11 -
I especially liked Val's early bumbling on going in, first not being prepared - but the door had me in stitches!
LOVE Val's sneak and strike methods with the bow, very well written so it could be visually imagined as he went through! I liked his musings on the lack of hygiene among bandits, lol. Always thought the same myself. Really enjoyed this chapter, Val's way of going through the bandit lair quietly striking was so interesting and intriguing, I loved it !! He and Buffy both fight from a vantage point and stay out of sight, very cool imagery !!
Awesome Write, both chapters - and I so apologize for getting behind, between the storms and that mod I have really gotten behind on everyone and feel terrible about it!
