Pippinfan\'s stories can be guaranteed to bring pleasure to the reader that loves hobbity tales. She is never afraid to write realistically and doesn\'t avoid topics that might be angsty, yet her stories are not ever too heavy or too sombre, she always balances them just right with a mix of genres to suit the individual tale.

Pippinfan88 really nails the way that Merry and Pippin and everyone they knew were impacted by their ties with Gondor and Rohan. Nowhere is this more obvious than in \"The Falcon\'s Watch\", which is about their children reacting to news of their death. It\'s also one of the most effective stories I\'ve ever read dealing with the topic of grief, it handles that difficult topic really sensitively but at the same time without pulling any punches. I look forward to reading the stories I didn\'t get around to yet, because this is an author I definitely want to read more of.
Reviews for Genres: Humor
Reviewer: Lindelea Category: Genres: Humor Valid Characters: 172 Score: 3
Sparkling dialogue, ratcheting up the humorous tension until the reader can\'t help but burst out laughing, impeccable timing: these are all what I\'ve come to expect when this author presents a funny story.

My favourite thing about Pippinfan\'s humour is the way that she is able to take everyday situations and turn them into a series of events that makes the reader laugh out loud. It brings a realism to the humour, it makes you think \"Gosh, what if that happened to me?!\" And she keeps her situations and dialogue true to the characters involved at all times; I really like that about her writing!

Pippinfan88 is one of my favorite hobbit authors. She deals with interesting topics and plot ideas with a deft touch. She is equally good at humor and at drama. Her hobbits have a true to Tolkien and genuine feel to them.
Reviewer: Marigold Category: Genres: Romance Valid Characters: 301 Score: 4
As she does with her stories in other genres, Pippinfan writes romance as if it was really happening to her characters. She doesn\'t go over the top, she keeps the dialogue, situations, and characters realistic and believable. She balances the romance with descriptions of everyday events, with humour, and with drama unrelated to the romance - just like life.

Reviewer: Marigold Category: Races: Hobbits Valid Characters: 240 Score: 3
Pippinfan is very good at writing the relationships between the main hobbits, and between them and secondary characters. She always writes her characters so they act appropriate to their age, with realistic dialogue and situations. Her stories are always original and entertaining!
