Ah, a lovely and realistic ending. ^^ I would have enjoyed 'hearing' things from Halladan's POV, to see what he was really thinking all those times Penny caught him staring at her.

I cannot even begin to express how much I have enjoyed reading these two stories, even though, really they make one big tale. From the moment I began to read the first Panic story I was hooked and I know that this is what can only be described as an utterly top-notch, cut-above-the-rest story.

I think there will always be a place in my heart for these stories, right next to the works of Tolkien himself. I just enjoyed it that much! You managed to bring Penny and her emotions to life amazingly well, and whilst reading I have cried,I have sympathized with her just as if she were a good friend who was having a hard time, I have grinned my head off, I have laughed (sometimes at the worst moments possible, for instance when Penny was in Lothlorien and panicked about how the stairs leading up the tree were 'old and everyone knows that the older things get the more likely they are to fall apart'. I chose to try and tip a sip of my tea just at the exact same moment as I read Rhimlath and Lindir's reaction to her comment. Fatal combination!XD) All in all, I've felt as though I was journeying through life in Middle-earth with her. ;D
You are an excellent writer and I admire your dedication to your stories! I'm running out of words to say, I think. ^^ Hehe..

Anyway, yes, I just feel the need to say THANK YOU for giving those of us who love a good yarn set in our favorite world, yet good yarns of that sort seem rather hard to find outside of Tolkien's own stories, a chance to settle ourselves down in front of our screens and enjoy a very, very good and enjoyable read. ^^

Le hannon, le hannon, le hannon, le hannon, le hannon!

*Squeaks and dashes to the next chapter*

YES! Finally!

Halladan, mate, you've messed up big time.. *shakes head* Hmf! Sounds like this is another case of 'ignoring the Oliphaunt sitting in the corner of the tent' as far as Halladan's concerned!

*Shakes her head again* For shame!

ARGH! Halladan, you..IDIOT! Someone REALLY needs to bash some sense into both his and Penny's heads!!

Excellent chapter! Kept me at the edge of my seat and I was really cringing, wringing my hands and finding it hard to carry on reading when it came to that last part.. *still cringing at the thought of the horror Penny must feel*

E! How sweet!

*Coughs*

Right, now I've got that out of my system.. I LOVE how the relationship between Halladan and Penny is coming along. :D Just hope they end up together! And I can totally agree with Penny and the elves on the subject of hair. Hair is important. VERY important. Keeps your head warm, don't cha know. Plus, if you have tangled/greasy hair, it makes you feel bad. Very bad. :( Doesn't seem to effect men as much as it does us girlies. Mind you, they have shorter hair.. *carries on rambling for a few minutes*

I only came across the first Panic story a few days ago, but I've managed to finish that and now I'm munching away at this like the good little bookworm that I am. Hope to have time to finish it some time tonight!

Excellent so far, boz, keep up the good work!

Sincerely,
Lantern

I had read the first part of Penny's story a LONG time ago. I'm not sure if I ever reviewed it or not.

Anyway though, after spending the week reading Penny's story it's needless to say that this is an excellent piece!
I enjoyed it very much, and was grinning like a maniac towards the end.

Amazing job!

Yeah!doing the happy dance!

I could not wait to read this! It didn't disappoint. One of my favorite stories.

Oh, wow. I didn't realize how long it would take me to finally get to the end, but I have! It's been an amazing story and I'm so happy I found it in the mess of what FFnet has become. I can't wait to see what other works you have up!

A fan,
Pablum

Well.
This. Was. EPIC!
There are no other words to say...considering the amount of detail and research you must have devoted to working on this piece...all 60 chapters of it, and on the 'Don't Panic' piece as well.
Bravo.

I've just finished reading your story, after spending the past two days devouring Penny's tale. I've only had 4.5 hours of sleep, plus some napping at uni, as I was so desperate to find out what happened. I love the realistic way you tell the story. The issues you bring up (periods, clothes washing with or without soap, child mortality) are ones that I definitely had never considered if I ever imagined travelling back in time (though I was concerned about smells and latrines). And also the terrible sense of displacement that Penny struggles with, and the scars of war on all those who fought or stayed behind, made this such an amazing piece to read. Thanks for sharing XD

Aw, I just finished reading your story for the third time, and I'm still loving it so much !

Penny's adventures are really the MOST AMAZING things I've read in the LOTR universe so far !

V. good story, well done !

I'm just so glad I discovered this fanfic when it was already completed xD
Reading your notes made me empathize with your readers who actually waited for the next chapter ^^

Anyway, just wanted to tell you how wonderful it had been for me^^
Thank you for that !

Cheers from France ! (and sorry for my English please^^)

Hey, I just have to say how brilliant I found this story to be.
I can't believe I finally finished reading it! Thanks so much for putting so much effort into it. I hope I'll be able to read loads more of your writing. C:

Oh, it was simply perfect! Sorry, I'm wordless,but as soon as I can cath my breath I write something like a normal review. Thanks,thanks, thanks, thanks... X:Arisa

Hello Boz,

I tried to pm you, but I think you have disabled that function.

Someone at the MEFA Awards would like to nominate this story in its completed version. I understand it has competed before as WIP.

Could you, if you are interested send me an e-mail address to be used by a MEFA liason, so I could pass that address on to the intended nominator (or, if that is you prefer, I would love to nominate you myself.) If you are interested, please react ASAP for the deadline is tomorrow.
