Wake up right out in the middle of nowhere in just your pajamas and your bare feet??? That WOULD be a nightmare! [shudders]

Dear Boz4PM

I have read all your stories . They are amazing. You have really captured th world of Tolkien. Most girls fall in Arda usually end up on Lotr sues or Deleterius, but your stories belongs on a list of how a well written fanficiton is supposed to look like. Maybe we can use it as a how to guide for newbees on ff net.
The sequel got a little boring in the middle, but overall your story can rightfully be described as a masterpiece.

Oh my GOD...this is absolutely amazing. I started one of these fics, but due to my other project (Harry Potter), I haven't actually done more than one chapter...
ANYWAY. About your story...I'm not normally a fan of OCs, but I really like Penny thus far. Very, very good job. The descriptions are amazing...the scene with her walking to the hills is a bit rushed, and I think it's because the sentences are so short, which is easily fixed (if you want to; it's your call). Detail is wonderful...
Overall, this is one of the best fanfics I have ever read (and I do *not* say that lightly). I'd be honored if you'd take a look at my work...www.fanfiction.net/~folk, fanfiction.net username folk (go "search") if the link doesn't show up. I'm also on www.freewebs.com/folklights
Excellent job!
Ciao,
Ivy :)

Well, I think I will finally read this famous "And it can really work" story. I'll do so in pieces, so you will probably get many a review.

Great start! "Die, Mary Sue..."

Poor girl hopes for a Range Rover, and what does she get? A Ranger. I wouldn't mind one, but if you're in that state...

Oh, I think I'll really enjoy this fic.

You'll hear more soon! Nienor

Author Reply: Thank you for taking the time to read it. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to reading more of you views and responses later in the fic. :)

Ok . . . I'm hooked.

This is delightful :) :) I was thinking this better be good if she's made an exception for it - and it is very good.

Well Done, Boz4PM!!

EEEEWWWW!!!! Leeches!!

This is fabulously funny, and hits just the right balance between realism and hilarity. Great concept! Thank you! I'm looking forward to relishing each chapter.

I adore this story! I read it at OSA when Nilmandra recommended it a few weeks ago, and I love it even more the second time around. Thank you for posting here! This story just tickles me to death. Penny is so absolutely real and cool and likeable, and stinky, mad-as-a-bicycle Halbarad is....hawt. Thank you thank you thank you.

Author Reply: Yes, several people have taken to my rendition of Halbarad, which is flattering and nice to see. I just tried to make him as realistic a representation of your average honourable warrior Dunedan as I could - they are inately 'hawt' I think, just by virtue of who they are.

Thank you for taking the trouble to read it all a second time. :)

Oh I'm *SO* glad you accepted Nilmandra's invitation to post here. This really is an exceptional story, and deserves to be made an exception of!

The day she recc'ed it, I ended up wasting the entire day reading it, and as much of the next one as you have posted! I really wanted to review then, but I don't have a clue how to post comments on your other site.

I look forward to reading it again at a more leisurely and enjoyable pace!!



Author Reply: Well, thank you for that warm welcome and for taking the time to read the fic. Glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, I am so glad to see this here! After Nilmandra recommended it, I’d spend every spare minute of three very entertaining days reading all of it at OSA, and I’ll enjoy to read it here again. After reading Diana Gabaldon, my friends and I had thought a bit about the question of how to cope with being thrown back in time, and you did a great job in describing Penny’s difficulties and all that.

Gildor and Halbarad must certainly have thougt her completely crazy, yelling around as she did, but in the 21th century it would be the best thing to do, I suppose. It was very nice of Halbarad to pick her up and to help her. And poor Penny, it’s horrible to find herself in this strange place, facing an armed stranger whose language she can’t understand and not being sure what he wants to do with her!

Author Reply: Well, indeed. All too often authors seem to forget just how different in simple reactions to a situation would be in Middle-earth. It helps having read the books, of course, but either the Mary-Sues react ridiculously and no other character picks them up on it, or the canon characters themselves act OOC thanks to authors bringing their modern values, viewpoints and reactions into play as they write. I would not dream of suggesting I managed it, but I do try and am aware of it as an issue - which is better than not at all, I guess. :)

Thanks, also, for the welcome and reading this thing for a second time.
