This is a group effort, first posted on LJ, based on the premise:
After the Coronation of the King, Pippin, having neglected a cold,
falls seriously ill. Elessar, acting in his capacity as healer,
decrees that the young hobbit must stay in bed. Of course the young
and restless hobbit is chafing to get up just as soon as he's
feeling a little better... How to keep him resting quietly? A fine
problem for the newly-crowned King to tackle! Authors include, in
order of posting: Lindelea, Shirebound, Beruthiel, Elendiari,
Bodkin, Dreamflower, Pearl Took, Rabidsamfan, Anso the Hobbit, and
Pipkin Sweetgrass

Okay, NOW Panic! (907): Boz4PM
URL: http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=4272
PG-13, Reason for Rating: It's more to cover myself for battle
scenes and extreme angst at times, though the vast majority of the
fic is G-rated.
Romance Partners: N/A
This is the sequel to "Don't Panic!"

In that fic Penelope Baker (a twenty-four year old Tolkien fan who
works in marketing) wakes up in her pyjamas a few miles west of Bree
and is then faced with all the horrors of what it was REALLY like to
live six thousand years ago in Middle- earth (latrines of doom being
possibly amongst the worst of them).

She is rescued by Halbarad, dour Ranger of the North, and taken by
him to Imladris to see Elrond due to the clear knowledge she has of
things she should not know, as well as her bizarre and extreme
behaviour as she battles with her own sanity while she slowly comes
to the realisation of just where she actually is. Once in Rivendell,
arriving only a day or two before the Council of Elrond, she is
questioned and, with much difficulty and Gandalf's help, manages to
explain who she is, where she has come from and how she knows of
them all and their futures.

She then has to acquire a new language and new skills, and learn to
fit in, all the while knowing full well of the impending war, of the
death of Boromir and, worse still, the death of Halbarad. He has
become her friend and slowly begins to look on her as a daughter,
promising himself that he will protect her and look after her once
the war is over.

At the end of "Don't Panic!" despite trying to persuade Elrond not
to send Halbarad south to Rohan, Penny watches Halbarad ride out of
Imladris, holding the banner of the King that Arwen has made for
Aragorn.

She knows that she will never see him again.

Now the story continues as she is invited to join the elves of
Imladris as they travel to Gondor via Lothlorien and Rohan, while
decisions are to be made about her future.


It contains angst, but also a lot of humour, indeed it tries to span
both the drama/angst and humour categories equally.

To Follow an Elf (816): etharei

Probably been done before, and perhaps better, but Bill the Pony
gave my elbow a nudge this morning, causing me to spill my tea, and
he licked up all the sugar from the bowl, and is likely to make a
complete nuisance of himself if I don't write down his story. So
here goes.

Welcome to Rivendell Mr. Anderson (662): Snodgrass and Winkle
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2155690/1/
PG-13, Reason for Rating: Violence and battle scenes
Romance Partners: Boromir/FOC Lindir/ FOC
Two sisters go to Middle Earth after the Fellowship is sent into
modern day by Sauron. But Emily and Barbara are determined not to be
Mary Sues. Middle Earth may prove to be too much for these self
assured girls making them confront humorious and sorrowful aspects
of a life they had only read about. Full of wicked humor and lots of
Mary Sue bashing.

Hi Marta-

I checked the link for my ficlet Sixteen Singing Eagles, and it wasn't
working correctly. I think I might have chopped the end off or something. Can
you put this one in?
