| I absolutely loved this. When I started I thought it would be a funny, cracky story (Off with Mary Sue's head, indeed) but then I couldn't stop reading it and here I am, crying about it. It's really amazing how you managed to make me be so moved again by the events that have otherwise long stopped saddening me. After all I've known what happened for years, I never cared for Halbarad in particular one way or the other, I wasn't expecting to cry about the death of a minor character. You have a great talent. | |

| Just finished this story for the 2nd time and it's still as amazing and enthralling as the first read through. Your attention to detail is esquisite and the character study of Penny is brilliant. All of the canon characters deal and react pretty much as one might expect them to and I'm once again left in utter awe and astonishment at the epic breadth and width the span of this story takes. Your research shows and I love it. I know I've accused you of this in several past reviews, but I SWEAR you're telling this from first hand experience! LOL :) It's such an incredible piece of work and I can't wait to get started on ONP. Thank you once again for answering this challenge all those years ago and I look forward to seeing more "Moments of Panic", if Life will actually let you put fingers to keyboard and write them out. I so love this story. Thank you so much for writing it. :) Dayna | |

| Every time I read this, I want to cry at the ending. I cannot imagine how Penny coped, even with all the support she had. To know so much, to have to hide it while learning how to survive, I think I would have holed up my room and never come out. It's a wonderfully written, compelling story. | |

| AAAAH! Excellent ending...I actually assumed for most of the story that they would fall in love and that we'd have a kiss at the end...but this makes it even harder. EXCELLENT story. I am going to read the sequel now :) Ciao, Ivy Author Reply: So glad you have enjoyed it all - hope you like the sequel just as much. I look forward to reading your comments and responses to it. :) | |

| I just wanted to post a little something to let you know that I've thoroughly enjoyed Don't Panic. I had expected to finish this story several weeks ago but my comp crashed, and I was honestly very upset that I couldn't finish reading this story. You've done and absolutely wonderful job with Penny and with portraying a realistic look at what being dropped into ME would be like. I admit I was skeptical at first when a friend recommended this story to me, but the fabulous writing, plot and character development completely got rid of any initial skepticism. I look forward to reading Penny's further adventures in the sequel. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent for writing and this wonderful story. Es. | |

| I thought about reviewing as I went along, and I probably should have, but decided not to for a couple of reasons that really aren't all that important. I just have to say that I don't think I've ever read a fanfic that had me in tears for so many chapters in a row. OK, maybe I'm just a weeping Wanda, but maybe not. I was so very moved by Penny's dilemma of what to tell and what not to tell, and when. Of knowing if she tried to save a friend's life she could doom everybody to destruction. That truly is a heavy burden to carry, and yet, being a caring human, it's hard to ignore the fate of one person she knows for the fate of multitudes she doesn't. It's a mark of her very humanity that she had such a wrestle with it. Boz, this was amazing. If there was a prize for the challenge, I hope you took it. As is the case with any good tale, your story left me with much to think about outside the parameters of your story, and I don't believe I am the same person I was when I started reading it. On a lighter note - I love the funny parts as well, giggling hysterically when Penny comes on the half-dressed elves (now THERE'D be a sight!! *heavy sigh*), when she puts Lindir in his place, Elladan's reaction to Penny borrowing his comb and then telling Halbarad off for not buying her one, Aragorn snorting in his cup when Elrond tells Halbarad to apologize to her, and them all feeling like 12-year olds when she tells them off for continuing to laugh. There were so many other times as well. All there is to say then, really, is thank you. Thank you for the laughs, for the tears, and for the food for thought. Thanks for your efforts, and those of your betas. I'm off to start the sequel now! | |

| I started reading this when Nilmandra recced it on her LJ, but have only just finished it. I really enjoyed it - seeing how much Penny changes and gets used to her new life. I really liked the relationship that built up between Penny and Halbarad - the end of the last chapter was so sad. | |
