Wow. This was just beautiful. I love how you show just little glimpses of a deeper side to Kelly and the ambivalence Pam feels about the developing friendship.

Just a little bit in and I am already in love with it. Perfect Kelly. And this is gonna be good!
(oh and Kelly. I think Pam may have a particular guy in mind. Just, FYI. Even if she isn't admiting it yet)
I am so in love with every line Kelly speaks (and Pam's reactions).
I think I am not ready for Forever 21 either. I went there once with a friend and it just confused me. So I proceeded to just mock everything my friend was buying. No wonder why she doesn't like to go shopping with me anymore.
Kelly really is good for Pam. I think Kelly (in small doses) is good for everyone. Between nonsense rambling about anything and everything, she really does have some good points.
Yep. This is pretty awesome.
Author's Response: Heh. Thanks, Em!

This was so, so good. They're both so in character, just as different from each other as they are on the show, but you manage to make a real connection there. I love the whole paragraph that includes Pam realizing, "Underneath that groomed exterior and façade of peppiness she is desperate for love and acceptance". And I love Kelly as the advice guru. And the ending is fantastic, and a great place to conclude. You don't have to take it to the end of the season, you don't have to make it about Pam's ending with Jim, because it's just about her, finding herself and becoming the person she was meant to be.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! I find writing Kelly a huge challenge, so I'm glad you think so.
The original request for this, I believe, asked for season 3 and 4, but I sort of felt Pam didn't need a coach anymore, once she had made her confession in Beach Games. It was time to get out there on her own, and as a result, this just ended naturally once I reached that place in the timeline.

This is, um, something like my eighth time reading this, and I still find new things I like in it. "Being a coward does not make you special" finally hit, and I'm going to silk screen it on a tee-shirt.
(Sorry about that seven moths business. Heh.)
Author's Response:
That actually would make a pretty good t-shirt.
Thanks, babe!

How much do I love this? How can I even begin to describe it? Thank you for giving Kelly some depth! This is just fabulous.
Author's Response: Thank you! I refuse to believe that Kelly's head could be that empty.

This was really good! Yeah for Kelly! :)

You've just combined my 2 favourite things in the entire world! Wicked meets the office! This was really well done, I really enjoyed it. Now I'm going to have popular stuck in my head. Thankfully with cheno's voice, and not kelly's! hehe
Author's Response: I listened to this song about 8 million times while I was trying to figure this out, and I didn't get sick of it at all! Thanks so much for commenting!

Oh. my. gosh. That was soo good! This is such a fun song, and a fun concept. I loved that Kelly was a real person underneath all the sparkles and glitter. And I loved how Pam found her girly side. And basically I loved the whole thing. Nice job! :)
Author's Response:
I had this though ages ago that Kelly was kind of like Glinda to Pam's Elphaba, and jokingly suggested it would make a fun fic. Little did I know it was going to get tossed back to me as a request.
Thanks for reading, Azlin!

So much to love. I could cite every other line, but I'll be lazy and give you a laundry list of just a few that made me smile/nod/go aw: ...keeping her eyes on Michael as he butchers an impression of Humphrey Bogart. Or Luke Perry. It’s hard to tell; That’s what you have to understand about men, Pam. They’re formed by their environment; It’s just an example her brain helpfully supplied; “I’m not always happy. Sometimes I’m pretending”; Selective personalities, I call it...And the list could go on and on.
But mostly, I love how you've made their friendship so unpredictably believable, and built it over time. And how ultimately the wisdom of Kelly motivates Pam (at least in part) to have the confidence to speak up. Ironic, yet oddly perfect. I'd so love to see Pam have a real girlfriend on the show - and both her and Kelly's voices are so in character here (as always - how do you do that?) that I can pretend this actually happened. Beautifully written - just enough 'narration' to make it clear, but not so much that I feel like I'm being told instead of shown. Just an incredibly satisfying fanfic experience, lol.
Author's Response:
Oh, man. I wrote this long response, but the internet ate it.
Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words. I'm so pleased you were satisfied! And yes, Pam does need a female friend (who doesn't call her a hussy). Karen was a huge waste in that sense.
Thanks again, Colette! You're too good to me.

This is hysterical. There are so many great lines in here...too many to point out, but I love the word "ragey" cause I could totally see Kelly saying that. I also love that Pam is recalling Kelly's advice as she stands by the fire ready to put it all out there. "Never let a hack blow dry your hair!" lmao! Good stuff!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

This is so lovely and I really enjoy exploration into Kelly beyond what we see on tv. Love, love, love the friendship with Pam. So effortless and funny and sweet. Wonderful job.

I have to say that I LOVED this! I love most Kelly-focused stories, and when they've captured the characters perfectly (as you have), then win-win! I particularly loved this line: "Just because you can appreciate looking nice, doesn't mean you're shallow. Look at Princess Di." That's the Kelly-logic I love.
And yes, I am listening to that song now on my ipod ("Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh! They were POPULAR!") because I'm seeing the play again on Sunday!
Well done, well done! I loved it! -CH
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked this, and I'm so jealous you're seeing to show on Sunday. I saw it on Broadway, and it was something I'll never forget!
