| 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. :) | |

| Hey, thanks very much for the very kind review! I like the conclusion Penny came to in this chapter...how very true about the elves having to give up every human they met, and you presented it well. To tell the truth, I just got lazy about that story and couldn't think how to present chapter 2 so I didn't :) I'm working on it...slowly...haha. There's 2 things I noticed in this chapter: 1. Halbarad refers to her as "Penny" instead of "Pen-ii", as well as later when we see her from his POV...it's his narrative style, so shouldn't both be "Pen-ii"? 2. You wrote "effect" instead of "affect" (near the end somewhere). I very much liked this chapter. Poor Penny indeed. :) ~Ivy Author Reply: Thanks for the typos/mistakes - and for the two 'might/may' errors you spotted earlier. I shall try and remember to correct those tonight if I get a moment. :) | |

| Ha--that should be PATHETIC Man Fancier. ;) Author Reply: I take it you are a PEF, then? ;) Or perhaps a PHF? Thanks for reading, Ivy - I've just been catching up with all your comments so far. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far and hope you continue to do so. If you have any questions, then your best bet would probably be to track me down on my LJ (user name is 'boz4pm), and I can answer them there. As for Gandalf being able to translate, then as I think I explained in the footnotes (you have to realise this fic was written two years ago), Gandalf is already capable of 'telepathic' communication with others (Elrond, Celeborn & Galadriel at least). Added to which he is a Maia - a demi-god - so it was a not unreasonable authorial bit of poetic licence to say he would be able to 'tune in' to her after he had had a little time to get used to her. If Galadriel can read people's thoughts, without needing a connection with them, then Gandalf should be able to do so much more easily if he so chooses. Galadriel is a powerful Noldo, but Gandalf is still a Maia and thus more powerful and more capable, even if he keeps it under wraps. As for him having 'more important things to do' - not really. They have a couple of months before they will leave. While they are off finding news of the Nazgul nothing is happening. She is an enigma, and potentially a dangerous one at that, so he will want to learn as much about her as possible and keep an eye on her - in a friendly way, of course. ;) | |

| I have returned. Hahaha... Hmm. This is interesting...I was actually thinking that periods (forgive the pun) of major stress and a sudden, complete change in nutrition can make periods go away for a while, but that's pretty extreme. Speaking of the Latrine of Doom...do not EVER go in a public bathroom in Pike's Market in Seattle. I swear, it was worse than what you described (and your description was pretty vivid). I'm not joking or exaggerating. I was terrified to set my purse down, so I ended up hanging it around my neck. Gah. LMAO! Poor Erestor...I love it. I'm still a bit...not set...with Gandalf being the "interpreter"--wouldn't he have other things to do?--but whatever. :) And I very much like Mireth. Nice. ~Ivy | |

| I am a bit confused as to how Gandalf could get such specific senses from what she said...? She'd basically have to do a different expression/tone of voice with each sentence for him to be able to "translate" all of that...but I guess it was necessary for this chapter. I don't know. I still think it's a great story. And I love the part about the "my love", "my lover", etc. part, haha. Very nice. ~Ivy~ | |

| "Where was she! She had not got drunk again and ended up at Brian the Computer Nerd’s flat again, had she! God, she hoped not! That had been a SERIOUSLY bad mistake the first time around. She would not be that stupid, would she?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That's awesome...I love it. Less Mary-Sue-ish this time; more like the Penny I know and love, haha :) You know, the language-barrier bit really is brilliant... Wonderful job again with the unfamiliar faces (since of course they wouldn't look exactly like the movie actors...) Ciao, Ivy :) | |

| Hmm...as much as I liked this chapter, I think it was a bit Mary-Sue-ish...even if she could be excused for her temporary state, she was very defiant of authority, and the whole tears thing... Just an observation. Overall, I do not think she is at ALL a Mary-Sue. I really like the bit about them smirking and Elrond trying to remain aloof/Aragorn snorting into his cup. LMAO! Nice work again...I'd just make sure that she's not overstepping the bounds, if you get my meaning :) Ciao! Ivy P.S. Again...if you have time, check out my stories? I would be beyond honored. http://www.fanfiction.net/~folk and http://www.freewebs.com/folklights (my website) Thanks very much! | |
