Turning Points  by cathleen 2 Review(s)

My prescient dreams started when I was still a child, mostly just wisps of conversations.

I appreciate what Frodo says of it being a responsibility. Too bad Pippin isn't ready yet to accept it.

Author Reply: I think Frodo will help him to do so, in time. Thanks so much for your comments!

I just read this story again and still love it. I did not find Pip too young before, but that age is alright too. I hope you continue soon, cause I really wanna know how it goes on with Pipīs Took sight and all. So please post a new Chapter soon.
Also I hope you get some more reviews for your story and wonder about why you havnīt yet.
There surly is some sexuality inside the story, but I personally like it, when also the "innocent" Hobbits are allowed to discover things like that. And you write it very realistic.
Well, not that I know how it feels to be a growing up lad.. *L*...but I think, what you write sounds realistic.
And of the Took Sight I am fond anyway. I hope we get also to meet Aunty Pringle again. So donīt wait too long with the next Chapter! :)


Author Reply: Hi Golden! I'm so glad to hear you like the bit of a rewrite I've done, and are still enjoying the story. Yes, I think it's pretty cool myself to get a peek inside a young, "seemingly so innocent all the time" hobbit lad's mind and experience the other things that might be going on. Heh, after all, Pippin *did* have a son, so he must have learned about the birds and bees somewhere along the way, right?! The Tookish "Sight" has always intrigued me too, and I know I'm going to have great fun exploring it as this story moves along.

As for the whole review thing you and Pearl have mentioned...yeah, as writers we all know how motivating they can be, and how much fun to read, as well as the tidbits of ideas from readers that may be used in forwarding the story. But, even though it would be *very* nice to hear what other readers are thinking, I am still gratified by the substantial amount of hits this story has received - not only for the first go round, but even more so for the second! Ah well! The main thing for me is knowing that I believe in this tale and will continue it through to the end. I want to find out what's going to happen as much as you do!! And thank you again for inspiring it, and for your continued support, both mean a great deal to me.
