Pearl's Pearls  by Pearl Took 5 Review(s)

This was a very unusual story, but I liked it - eventually. At first I just thought it strange, but when the dream began, I was really drawn into it. Good job!

Author Reply: Thank you so much, Virtuella :-)

I've written a few that start out strange that I hope eventually draw the reader in. I'm glad this one eventually hooked you :-) It is one of my favorites.

How the heck did I miss this one?? I think you did a great job with the elements given; I liked your use of the mythologies of the Seven Sisters. It lends that "other-world-ish" element to the tale. :-)

Pippin is a sweet, mannerly gentlehobbit -- he should have "deeply" bit her lip in response. :-X

Author Reply: It is easy to do, I miss more than my share of stories - no worries :-)

I'm so glad you enjoyed this story. Of the two written from these elements, this is my favorite.

I totally agree with you - he should have! LOL

Such a perfect story for the season! The dream, the missing stars and seven sisters and seven lasses and green scarf left in his hand--all of it is perfectly blended to leave a feeling of eeriness and yet rightness.

Excellently done, madam.

Author Reply: Thank you Larner :-) I'm glad you felt it warranted an "Excellently done"!

Well, it was rather mean of the seven lasses to trap Pippin in that passage. And then the kiss! I can understand his reaction.

Whisky is a very powerful liquid!
If Pippin hadn't found the green scarf when he awoke, I would have blamed it all on the whisky ;-)
But now the question remains: Was it more than a dream? I don't expect an answer, though! That's for the reader to decide.

(Devil's Tower is very impressive. I found a picture at Wikipedia.)

Author Reply: Indeed, Andrea, it is for you and others to decide. Those lasses were quite awful, trapping him and all.

Thank you so much :-)

What a nightmare for poor Pip! Sometimes we all need reminders to appreciate what -- and who -- is in our life.

Author Reply: Thank you shirebound, we all have trouble with saying things we don't really mean.
