| I echo the sentiments posted here regarding Boz's story...I have been watching for the update expectantly! I am sad to assume that Boz's account was deleted in the *housekeeping* phase that our webmistress/webmaster went through for multiple account holders. A pity! Boz, if you're reading this, your story was well written and totally engrossing! Kudos! |

What a challenge you have set out to do, both in the original story as well as this sequel, although I am disapointed to find you've only reached the journey to Lothlorien, heh ehh.. I wait with much anticipation to see Penny's reaction to the city of Caras Galadhon and Galadriel. I commend you on your excellent knowledge of Tolkien, and keeping track of everyone and everything. this is all very believable, and very hilarious. I find my liking for Lindir growing each chapter, as well as for all the elves of Rivendell. Penny's struggle to learn to communicate obviously is very trying yet I can imagine the thrill as well to see all that she believed as fantasy to be truly real. A deep desire for many of us to know Elves truly existed in all their ethreal beauty. Thank you for not making Legolas different from all the other gorgeous elves and I giggled at her reactions with the fan fics knowledge as well... how hard not to laugh when you know the elf is lusted after by the thousands...lol...
so I shall stay posted, hoping for additional chapters. I don't know how long ago you've started this, but just was told of it recently. Well done. Your descriptions of the daily life of the elves seem very accurate. I don't think many of us realize just how much work it took to live in that age with none of our conviences. It was not easy, yet they thought nothing of it. I can't wait to see how you deal with her arriving in Lothlorien. Great job!

Boz, this story had me spitting my soda on my keyboard! The humour was very enjoyable; a welcome addition to an entrancing tale. I especially like that you haven't had your heroine travel with the Fellowship, just in their tracks. I like the way that you handled the complete lack of communication in the prequel story; I had to smile when it reminded me of Men are from Mars, Women from Venus. I sobbed when Halbarad's story arc was completed as it was handled so well.
Reading fanfics, I've often wondered how they handled the less romantic aspects of life in Middle Earth and thanks to your imagination, I now know how to handle the latrines and monthly periods - just in case I ever wake up in another time and place! Hey, you never know....!
I've recently discovered Open Scrolls and sure would like to know where this story is headed. Will Penny find love in Middle Earth? Where will she decide to settle down? Will she ever be bounced back to London, a changed woman? |

| I am loving the Penny stories. Started sadly with the battles and the death of Halbarad but the elf pranks later had me giggling and snorting and annoying my cat and SO. I hope you give us more of this. |

| I love it! Seeing the elves travel to Minas Tirith is great. I can't wait for an update (I'm assuming there will be one...) |

| I can't wait for the next installment! Brilliant how you tackled (and were willing to take on) a language barrier. Thank you for the great read. |
