Penny is panicking. Where is she? How did she get here? How is she
going to get home and whose backside will she kick first when she
does?
A woman lost in Middle Earth wearing only her pyjamas. This can't be
good...
This story was a response to a fic-challenge on OSA: "Stuck (Really)
in Middle-earth - We've read them before: 21st c. gal is zatted back
to Middle-earth. But what would it really be like for a modern
person to find herself (or himself) in Middle-earth? Fic should
tackle such issues as getting lost, not having appropriate survival
skills, craving twinkies and other processed-food treats, having no
air conditioning, being surprised by the plumbing (or lack of it)
situation, experiencing uncomfortable allergies to dragon scales,
etc. The intrepid time-traveller could also answer, once and for
all, those niggling questions (do elves wear underwear?) and set the
record straight."
It contains angst, but also a lot of humour, indeed it tries to span
both the drama/angst and humour categories equally. Please note,
this story is not a Mary-Sue.
