See the first Credit Where Credit is Due post for an overview of what I'm doing here.
So, back when I first wrote Experiment Redemption, the setting of that story was a blackened wasteland left over from centuries of civil war, beginning of story to end. And I didn't know how the characters of future stories were ever going to manage to turn that around. I had half an idea which I knew wasn't going to work, effectively or believably. I hate when I write myself into corners. But... I was working on a roleplaying system for the universe in which the majority of my writing is set. And I had friends test playing campaigns I'd created which were set in various parts of that universe, including the setting of Experiment Redemption around the time of the novel. Enter a fictional young scientist named Fate, created by a friend and fan who was playing that specific campaign. His work resolved my issue of how the country could be cleaned up and made livable again. I do wish I had thought to somehow record some of those sessions because there's so much that happened that I just can't remember now. The character Fate, when used in my work, is credited to his original creator. He is mentioned in The Keys and the Naph, first seen in the short tale Hunter (Experiment Redemption Revisited), and has a larger role in the upcoming Arawn's New Order, which is due out August 2021. Fate's creator is a gamer who can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Rrcdso9Pmd4R7v3q2XdEA
