This is totally awesome. Is it weird that some of my favorite stuff is the very real-sounding business stuff? And way to nail the Ryan-voice.
Author's Response: I wasn't sure about the business-y stuff. I'm sure someone from the business world would tear me apart for it. Most of my details are actually stolen from the manufacturing world (I'm a manufacturing engineer by experience - *sigh* - not my chosen field I'm sad to say). Big sounding words are cool.

Oh please tell me there's more. Always wanted some mslash but somehow i just don't see the Jim/Dwight. So more. Please?
Author's Response: Ummm... very unlikely I'll ever pick up a Ryan slash writing binge ever again. But more unconventional pairings are ahead. Stay tuned.

c) How awesome it turned out to be
Author's Response: That's not a shock - of course it was going to be awesome. </conceited>

Great story Alex! Are you the first to do the Ryan/Hunter slash? Cuz I've been like waiting for it since the finale. TWSS. I love these "Ryan's the big badass in NY but it still sucks working for DM" stories.
Thanks!
Author's Response: I think I may be the first to write it. At least I haven't seen it done before. Heck, I haven't seen much fic about post-finale Ryan at all, and most of it he's the foil to someone else's story. Thanks.

So did you have to practice, practice, practice to get this story right? I promise I'll share the velveeta as soon as I'm done. Ha ha, Ryan's life sucks! Great story.
Author's Response:
(Yes).
I know you're just referencing, but actually this was surprisingly easy for me to write. I'm a very slow writer but this one went quite quickly and I didn't have to fight with it at all (except for the slash, which caused me to flinch a couple of times).
Thanks.

You did not! Yes, yes, you DID!!!!! I LOVE this. Love love love. Especially because I did not see the slash coming until it was... coming... (TWSS?) Anyway, lessee: Great details, great insight, and oh, the slashy goodness... You totally nail Ryan (TWSS again?), but you know I love yer snark so it works out well for all concerned. Well, for me because you wrote this... I'm not making sense, but I think I'm hungry. Look away, nothing to see here...
Author's Response:
Ummm... are you high? Either that or you are on a lot of sugar. This goes very well with Kelly's drunk review.
Thanks so much for the much love.

I'm not sure how to vote on the shocking occurrence poll, but I do think it's good that no one died (I don't think it would have fit (TWSS)), and that was excellent Ryan/Hunter, so win/win.
And another win, because the story was really excellent. I loved the level of detail, and how you filled in some of these characters we'll (hopefully) be seeing more of.
Author's Response:
Ah, an undecided voter. 9/11! (Family Guy reference).

c) You write KaPAM so us not so straight/me can get off to it. WHAT?
also d) I read this, but was too drunk to comprehend a word. :( I'll read tomorrow and cast a serious vote then.
Until that time. What do you mean Village People. You intrigue me.
Author's Response:
Yep, you're drunk.
I refer to <a href="http://mtt.just-once.net/fanfiction/viewstory.php?sid=1411&warning=4">this</a> where Packer has a little inadvertant "fun" with a very in-shape, leather clad gay guy. That fic kinda wasn't sad/depressing like my others so I had to point out the one instance of not-fun.
Also, if anyone else reads your comment, they're going to wonder wtf you're talking about.
Author's Response: Hey, look what the thing automatically did with the link. That's kinda cool. Kind of irritating too, because it makes me look like a tool.
