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.

Time to officially catch up.

Chapter 6:

Out in the open, and on a path to Riverwood. Good to know Val made a real friend out of Ralov of Riverwood. I enjoyed the description of the flora and fauna here, and how our protagonist can relate somewhat to it. To him, its all natural.

We also get a glimpse of the barrow and the creatures within. I have a feeling our protagonist may just pay a visit to this lair and find himself under its shadow, too.

The Huntsman Creed. I'll have to remember that.

Chapter 7: We get some Nord warmth at last in a cozy home.

I must applaud your writing her. You certainly are no amateur when it comes to detailed writing and the young Stomcloak boy who's well on his way on almost becoming a little soldier

You did well to add and expand upon that part of the tale, and once again I clap in the good prose and style of writing. Simple yet detailed and great enough to keep us entertained. With Valrimor, this certainly is made possible!

Chapter 8: This made me hungry.

Nord/Mer Hangover! You should have a mini side plot for that

After that near death experience at the Headsman's axe and a rough and perilous escape, some mead is good right about now( I know he had some wine back at Helgen, though, but not to this degree). Doesn't matter where in Nirn you go, heavy drinking almost certainly always leads to brawls. Don't call Val a tree hugger!

Chapter 9: Ah. The inner workings of turmoil in a character's mind. This I like! You did well here. Characters with flaws and problems of their own makes us sympathize more with them. He did good to apologize. And I have a creeping feeling he's going to get into more trouble with his drinking problem. We're in Skyrim, Val, drinking ale and wine to Nords is as normal and regular as breathing. Ale is Skyrim's water!
