A few notes about the stories I'll be posting :

1) These stories are my creation.  Sometimes they contain references to characters created by others for inclusion in the adventures I have created.  These stories are mine, and any use of parts or all of any of these stories MUST include a full credit notation stating this fact.
2) Some of these stories have not been edited properly . . . pleaz be forgiving of a few errors, 'cause editing your own work is a difficult and sometimes fruitless endeavour.
3) I will start each post with a few bits of information about the story, characters or the inspiration for the story itself.  This paragraph will be in Italics at the start of each post.

A few things you may want to know about 'a few wondrous stories'.

OK, first things first, this is Scott's fault.  And, now that we have that out of the way . . .

I have been told that I should put a few of my stories out there.  My most recent stories have all been about characters involved in the games I am running, or have run in the past, and I use these stories to flesh out background material outside of the actual sit-down adventures.

They say that you should write stories about the things that you are passionate about, and I am passionate about my games.  I do worry, however, that these stories might be a bit more interesting to those in the know, but . . .

. . . what the hey!

Now, as to the 'a few wondrous stories' reference.  When I sit down to write, I often have a bit of background music playing . . . fantasy movie soundtracks, new age stuff, classical music, some rock 'n' roll.  The band Yes has always been a favorite of mine and Jon Anderson the lead singer in particular.  He has done a lot of side projects over the years, including a couple of fantasy-based ones, and his music has been in the background a lot recently.  'Wondrous Stories' is a Yes song that I am particularly fond of . . . . . . . . .

Well, there you have it.  At this point in time, I intend to post a story every week.  Any feedback is appreciated, but politeness is also appreciated; 'You suck' will probably not help me.
