I know it can't be easy to write a story that kills off a major character and than pairs together two very unlikely people, but I think you've done an amazing job thus far. I'm really enjoying it and I can't wait to see how this plays out.
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you very much. This was a very difficult story to write, so it's very rewarding to read comments like yours. I really appreciate it.

This is so beautifully done, larrymcg! I love how you lay out Jim's transformation into an Angela-lover, and how she changes as well.
Did Dwight love Michael more than Angela? Or maybe it was Starbuck that he loved more than Angela. I hope you'll tell us. In any case, Angela's not engaged, so maybe there's no "I can't" in the future.
One teeny thing - Jim's a trouper, not a trooper. For realsies.
You're doing a great job on this. Your dialogue is believable, and the exposition is so beautifully written. Kudos.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the correction. I changed it before any hussies had the chance to picture him in a police uniform.
Now you've given me the idea for a Dwangela smut fic where Angela dresses up as Starbuck for him, if it hasn't already been done.
For real, I'm so glad you like this story. It really gives me confidence for finishing the rest of the chapters. Thank you so much for your kind comments!

No! Not my Pammy!! Oh I'm so depressed now...but I'm really interested to see this Angela/Jim dynamic play out.
looking forward to more! :)
Author's Response: Sorry I made you depressed! Just be glad this would never happen on the show. Thanks for the comment!

I do like it.
You missed one perfect opportunity though. The hardest thing for Jim to hear? "Dunder Mifflin, this is Valerie." Thud. (And day after day...torture!) Maybe you thought that it was better to let us infer that.
I really like how Angela is helping Jim, but sort of reluctantly. Also, your Angela voice is verrry good. Hmm...channeling Angela. What does that say about you?
I look forward to seeing where you go next.
Author's Response:
Oh, that would have been good to include!
It's odd. There's just something about Angela that I find really interesting and that inspired the story. Hope that doesn't make me scary!

I loved this! So much so.
I don't really have much more to add except I just wanted to give you a 10 rating! I just loved it! Having written something closely similar, except I killed Jim, I am glad to see you'll be continuing this.
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. I was really nervous posting something like this, so I'm glad people seem to really like it.

Welcome to the murderers club. Club benefits are nearly nonexistant but the membership is exclusive.
I'm not sure how I feel about this one so far. This chapter went by so fast and I think I see where this is going but no matter which way it goes, there are so many hurdles to overcome. However, I have faith that you'll do an admirable job.
Author's Response: Thanks! I hope I can meet your expectations.

that was such a punch in the grief bone, but in the best possible way. Great job and I love that Angela is that great of a friend to Jim despite outward appearances. Lovely job!
Author's Response: Thank you very much!
