Wow! This story is well written in style, taste,and in keeping continued interest. This story generates every conceivable emotion one could express.I love the characters Ash and Lauren. Their personalities are ones that a person could relate to and almost take on as your own. True to life.Exciting, keeps you guessing, what next. Light hearted. a chuckle or laugh at times. Romance, very refreshing, it deplicts the love, caring and understanding two people who are in love could have. Which so far constitues an unconditional love for each other. Being a continuing story, it keeps the readers interest in anticipation of what will happen in the lives of Ash and Lauren. A continuing story well done! (A Forever Fan) Kathy
You can hear the nice soft music play as these two meet and see the electricity flow between these two as they get to know and trust one another. I give this story a five star rating. It's one of the best reads I've read in a very long time. I recommend this to anyone and everyone. - Righty - Sep 9th, 2002   

I found this story truly riveting and I wait for each new addition with great anticipation. The tale this bard has spun is not only spellbinding but is dotted with delightful characters that are so lifelike they come right off the pages and materialize before your eyes. I highly recommend this story as a must read for anyone who enjoys excellent writing. - Lady J - Mar 31st, 2003   

Amazing. This story has me totally taken in. I could not put it down until I had savored each and every page. Now all I can say is that I am still hungry, when will the next part be online so I may devour it? In all honesty this story is truly amazing. I give it 10 stars and recommend it to everyone. - Jazz - May 6th, 2003   

Fate is one of the best story's I have read. It has everything in it you could ask for. It will draw you into the story so much you will feel as if you are really there and that you know each of the characters personally. I can't wait to read more of this great story so I can see what happens next. - Debbie Dee - Aug 3rd, 2003   

I have never been one for reading long stories especially when they are not finished. With that said, I am so glad I made an exception to this rule for Fate. Fate is an amazing story with a well developed plot line and three dimensional characters. I can honestly say, unlike most of the longer stories I have read, this one has never had a dull moment. This story is a very entertaining mixture of intrigue, humor and action.Nice job D E Salsbury, keep up the good work. - Summer - Sep 24th, 2003   

Been reading this story since the begening...It a great story but where is 19... - Taz - Oct 17th, 2003   

I have no idea how I could have missed this one for so long. This story is abosolutely FANTASTIC. Each and every page is filled with humor, suspense and romance. I LOVE THIS STORY, one of the best I have ever read and I have been reading stories in the verse since day 1. Hats off to D E Salsbury. - Samantha - Dec 14th, 2003   

Excellent. - Anonymous - Dec 17th, 2003   

I am so happy to see this on the top 25 again. This is a wonderful story that should not be missed. I realize that the length of it as well as the fact that it is still a 'work in progress' may hinder some from reading 'Fate' but I have one thing to say to those that may be waiting in the wings....READ THIS STORY. It is one of the best I have ever read. - Jerri - Dec 25th, 2003   

Fate is one of the best stories I have read. It had a little bit of everything in it. If you have not read this story yet then I say do it now. You will not be sorry. Thank you so much for such a great story. I can't wait for you to start book 2 so I will know what happens to the girls next. - Debbie Dee - May 11th, 2004   

I just finished reading "Fate"- it took all day because once I started, I couldn't stop! It was GREAT, with likeable characters, and well written. I hope you are planning on a sequel, I find that I would like to know more about the pasts of the leads. I just wanted you to know that your story was appreciated. Read it! Live it! Love it! - Uber Addict - May 13th, 2004   

Fate is one of the most compelling books I have read on the verse. If you are looking for PWP, don't come here, but if you are looking for an exciting story that is well written with developed plot line and three dimensional characters this is where you need to be. Though the story is lengthy it is never ever dry or dull. Hats off to D. E. Salsbury for a job well done. Thank you for sharing your talent. - White Wolf - May 17th, 2004   

If you do not read any other uber this year do NOT miss Fate. If you do you will miss something really special. - Dream Weaver - May 24th, 2004   

I had stopped reading until the story was finished. When I saw it was done I went back to the beginning and read from the first word to the last in one sitting. I could not put it down. Fantastic story. - Bri - Jun 2nd, 2004   

Outstanding! Thank you for sharing your story. - Anonymous - Jun 11th, 2004   

I am normally a lurker who watches the top 25. Seeing Fate up for the last few weeks I finally decided to see for myself the staying power of this story. I was thrilled with the story. Once I picked it up I could not put it down and did not put it down until I had finished the last sentence. Great Job DE Salsbury, hope to see a sequel soon. - Karen - Jun 22nd, 2004   

WOW! Super story. Hope to see an addition. Would love to see more of these two. - Sheryl - Jun 26th, 2004   

Great story DE Salsbury. I have waited a while to read the entire story at one sitting (well okay, it took me more than a day because of other, unwelcome, intrusions) but it is an enjoyable, well put together story with enough excitement to keep me reading and enough tender moments to give myself an easier pace.I eagerly await part 2 - letterwolf - Jul 11th, 2004   

I have been reading this story from almost the beginning and I say, Well Done, and in very Good Taste too. This story has kept my iterest from the beginning and to now the End, which makes me fell sad in one way and Happy in the next. For one, I don't think we have heard the last of Lauren and Ash. I see and feel a sequel on the horizon. :)I feel what lead up to the ending and how Ash displayed her love for Lauren was just Ash, being Ash, and shows just how two people can really be truely in love.Then again beyond that, I can see how the sequel can begin to develop.Great Job DE, this story deserves to be published!!I will be waiting to read more of your stories.Well done, and in good taste and fashion. :) - Kathy - Jul 19th, 2004   

I was looking for something new to read when I came across 'Fate' by DE Salsbury. I read the entire story in one sitting. I can honestly say that this story is one of the most well written pieces I have read on the net so far. The plot was well thought out with enough twist and turns to keep my intrest through out. All the players in this drama are credible. On the whole I give 'Fate' two thumbs way way up. - Tina - Sep 8th, 2005   

Amazing story. Loved every page. - Jeri - Sep 15th, 2005   

Wondeful. Amazing. Breathtaking. If you haven't read this story stop right now and read it. - Anonymous - Sep 21st, 2005   

I played hookey from work to finish this story. It was so worth it. - Lori - Sep 30th, 2005   

Spellbinding. - Tara - Sep 30th, 2005   

I made my partner mad this weekend because I started Fate on Friday night and didn't want to do anything else until I had finished it. When she was getting on me for reading instead of going out I had her read the first chapter. She was sucked in the same way I was. We spent a very romantic Saturday night snuggled together with our lap top reading Fate. DE Salsbury nice job from both of us. - Sharon & Lynn - Oct 6th, 2005   

Fantastic. - Anne - Oct 13th, 2005   

Well, this is definitely a dangerous story... I couldn't stop once I started. I read right through the night to finish it...leaving me totally bleary-eyed but way happy. Absolutely brilliant! - Mic - Oct 13th, 2005   

Amazing plot, charecters, and style of writing. Loved it. - Mary - Jan 29th, 2006

I can't believe I missed this one for so long. Saw it this week on the top 25 and thought I would give it a try. Brillant, Amazing, Stupendous...there are not enough adjectives to describe Fate. It's a solid piece of writing. - Mary - Feb 17th, 2006

Fate is one of my all time favorites. It is one of those stories that can be read again and again. I wish there was a sequel, as there is plenty more story to tell. - Baerinin - Apr-05-2006
