This is beautifully done. The amount of detail and effort that you have put into this fake is extremely obvious, and it makes all the difference in telling a "girl falls into Arda fic". I normally don't read them, but this one was recommended to me by a friend and it has proved every bit as good as she told me. Well done!

These stories have been quite the best fanfic that I have read in a very long time! You have given me several hours great pleasure.

Since language and knowledge are two elvish fortes, I think that gossip is a very natural "vice" for them.

Your handling of Penny's and Halladan's growing friendship and intimacy feels very realistic since it develops out of the concern each has for the grave emotional problem that the other is facing.

Thank you very much!

Sincerely, BKB

*Big Sigh* This is a satisfying ending to the story. Luckily, I could read the last chapters in one go. The storyline of Halladan and Penny came to a satisfying conclusion, the one I was hoping for. In true romance tradition, she now refused him, but all ends well. That chapter got me teary-eyed.

So, is Penny caught in a timewarp a la Babylon 5, the TV series? It seems so from the last paragraphs...

Great story!

Congratulations, you write faster than I read , but I finally caught up with you. Aside from a compelling storyline, and wonderful, believable characters, I’m amazed at how realistically you’ve described Middle Earth. It’s as if you’ve been there…


I've enjoyed this story thoroughly and while I love the way it ended, I’m sorry that it had to. Anyone want to write a Penny/Panic fanfic?

Thank you again for two fantastic fics.

Thank you so much for writing this story - I am certain that no one could have done it better. I think it ended perfectly, with us filling in the blanks in our own minds the kinds of spats, defiant children, and botched meals that must have made up the Penny/Halladan household! You tied everything up really well, and again I thank you for giving us all a believable world to, vicariously through Penny, test our 21st century meddle in. You've done such a good job in fleshing out Tolkein's characters - it was not hard to see Mireth or Eleniel as true friends, or certain ellith as protective, teasing big brothers. I can't imagine the amount of research and thought you put into each chapter to ensure that your story remained canon.

Thanks again! This story (well, novel, practically) has been a joy to read and reread! I look forward to reading each drabble, ficlet and story you post in the future!

And yes, you are right. It does seem a little bit a fast-ending. I was like "what"! Truthfully, this ending left me a bit empthy. You explained your reasons very well, I accept and respect that.

But more importantly, thank you for the BEST girl-goes to ME- story! And I mean every word of it.

God bless you, and keep your talent alive!

Boz,
I just want to tell you how much I've enjoyed this fic, actually both fics. It has been a wonderful journey and I loved every chapter, all of them. You are an amazing writer and if you ever decide to write an original novel or stories, be sure that I will be one of your fans.

I'll miss Penny & Co. and I'm grateful that ou will have Moments of Panic to fill out the gaps, I really wanted a little more about their courtship (Penny & Halladan). The last chapter was great, just enough information to figure out their live together. I have a question: Does Faelon and family know about Penny's past? How to explain them her lack of knowledge?
So Halladan will be quite Faramir but in the North Kingdom? I just will love to see Penny in Gondor again, with her new status and husband...

This is a great story, and I’ll repeat the same that other had already said, you are one of the best LOTR fanfiction writers ever.

Thanks again and I'll look forward for your stories.

Fantasia

Congratulations with the completion of this tale.

What a ride. I haven't been the most faithful reviewer, but do know that I enjoyed it... you made it one of the most canonical fics I've ever read, Penny's presence there or not.

I still remember the huge gap between those two chapters. Very glad you picked it up again.

Again, congratulations. This is, frankly put, quite a feat.

Author Reply: Thank you, and I'm glad you've enjoyed it all this time. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I just realised, I've read & enjoyed this entire series and never left a review~ *is guilty* Thankyou so much for such an enjoyable story, I've truly enjoyed the journey! (Also, Penny becomes her own ancestor? LOL, how's that for a time paradox)

Author Reply: Reviews are NEVER obligatory, though always much appreciated, of course. Thank you for reading and for taking time out to comment. :D
