OML! What a great beginning! O I am in love with this story already! -

Holy cow where has this story been? I have read and owned all of the original TMNT comics and I agree to have this happen would be awesome. Thank you and Mr. Eastman for this fan dream of a story.

Omg... There...theres no words for this. You have no idea... How close... How close we had the same idea? It's not quite the same... But oh my god... I've never felt as strong about a fanfic as this. I mean... It's so powerful... Thank you... So much, for writing this. Its amazing...

OH MY GOSH! HOW HAS THIS STORY NOT HAD MORE REVIEWS?

I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! This made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me want to jump up, hug someone, and just do a happy dance! The story was intriguing, the plot, amazing, and the overall idea of this happening just...It's all so believable! You've made a believer out of me. I'm so glad I came upon your story because it's just ignited all the love I had for the turtles when I was younger and has even intensified it. You're amazing. Just. Amazing. I hope, sometime soon, you will write more. Because your writing and the writing of others that helped you is just magic. And you ACTUALLY talked with the co-creator? DUDE! Your love and dedication for your writing is amazing and inspiring!

You're going to go far if you continue writing. I mean, just wow. Bravo!

This story is SO deserving of this long review!

OMGosh! XD XD XD *squeals and runs around like a headless chook* This was such a beautiful story! I honestly don't know how to put it into words (how I feel) but I'm sure you can understand it! D D D What's the next one called? O_o me want it! XD

I LOVE THIS STORY! I am a TMNT fan forever.

P.s. Athena is the Goddess of Wisdom Ares is the God of War.

I dont think I can write a review that could do this justice. This was REALLY good! Wow..

Oh man. I've actually started to tear up.

I may only be a 2003-generation TMNT fan of a few months, but I love the Turtles and their Sensei with all my heart. The concept that belief can turn to reality is one I adore, and to me, the Turtles are as real as you or I.

All my silliness aside, this story is fantastic. The challenges our heroes face in it are probably more heartbreaking and painful than any other I have read. The dialogue is wonderful, the characterization is gorgeous, and the plot was a real chapter-clicker.

Thank you for a wonderful read.

Oh! This is so different from what I normally read about. I LOVE it! I can't wait to read more. I love the ideas that we as the turtles greatest fans are the ones able to help them. Thank you for featuring us in your fic... We're... I'm honoured.

Until we speak again.

Hmm just found your story and have read through most of it in one sitting.

What a truly enjoyable tale the mix of legends and myth with the reality that the turtles are fading. I remember well some of those comic book scenes you put in to the turtle's memories.

Had to laugh at Raph being shot by cupid and oh how his brothers harassed him.

The mix of Legend blended almost with the what if factor of the turtle's being real and being brought back from being just mere legends who might fade forever is incredible.

Wonderful story and I will have to finish it at a later date,or time, though personally I almost hate to tear myself away when I am this close to an end.

Well, I've only read a portion of the first chapter and I have to say, GREAT JOB! Well crafted story, great dialog, characterization is wonderful, and who wouldn't want to imagine the TMNT's to be real? I have a story on-going right now - uploading a fast as I can what I have written so far - and I'm toying with a snappy epilog that will sort of do what you've shown here. I'm not borrowing or copying, but it had been on my mind for about a week, which was before I found your story. As for that 'mysterious' reviewer back in Sept. 2002 who didn't have the guts to put their name down and who flamed you - all I can say is, they're probably mad that they didn't think of this idea first! :0) Sour grapes. Personally, I think you wrote with everyone else in mind and not just trying to puff your own ego up. Put my name in there in place of yours, or maybe Ramica's, or maybe another fanfic writer! We write for others to imagine - that's what this site is all about. Tough luck for those who miss the point. Now, as soon as I have time, I'm going to sit down with a cup of hot cocoa ( maybe some cinnamon toast ) and enjoy your story! Blessings to you!

AWESOME story! I've just been recently getting back into the TMNT. I used to be a total FANATIC when I was a lil girl, then slowly that died out as I got a lil older (never saw em on TV anymore, hard to find, peer pressure, etc) but recently I've started getting a hold of the movies and cartoons and I've fallen in love all over again! This story is just how fans feel, it was excellent. _ I need to get my gold colored Leonardo figure back from my brother one day. .

Wow, that was certinaly something else! Amazing story!

That was incredible. The first time i saw your story, it was late and i was too tired to read, but i was intriged. Now i am so glad that i added it to my favorites and came back to read it later. I can relate with the character Dawn, it was almost scary

I have two dogs, just like her, one big and small. I even contemplated naming the small one gizmo because he has the same coloring and my big dog is wary of strangers. I am soon to be married and have tons of memorbilia around, just no guest room to put it all in.

If i ever learned how, i could make a TMNT web-site, i just get too confused with it sometimes.

This brought tears to my eyes, the bitter sweet tears that it aches but it's a good ache.

This was wonderful, now i want to go to a convention. I have never been to one and have no money to get to one, but now, i want to go more than ever.

Wonderful!

This story was extremely cheesy (It took all of my strength to keep from laughing/gagging during many points), drawn out and poorly written. The turtles were out of character and the whole piece appears to have been written to inflate the egos of author/friends of the author. Reading about another person's imagined greatness is not only boring, it's kind of silly. Suggestions: Stray away from corny topics and dialogue, condense your ideas, capture the audience with what they came to read about (the TMNT and THEIR universe, not yours) and stick to that topic area.
