I love you for writing this. You know, the characters of Jim and Pam aren't exactly the same as the ones they are on the show, personality wise...Make it a little longer, and you've got yourself a good novel to get out there. :)
Just a suggestion from a novelist to a fellow writer.
Seriously, good stuff. Very entertaining.
Author's Response: I love you for reading this. Thanks for the suggestion; that would be amazing to have more people read this. People are so lucky I didn't make this longer. Again, thank you.

LOVED this story. I usually am not into AU stories but this one totally sucked me in and wouldnt let me out! haha, awesome!
Author's Response: So glad you enjoyed it and it sucked you in. It wouldn't let me stop writing it so I definitely know the feeling.

I'm so sad this is over :( I really love this fic. I liked the flash forward but wish we got more JAM than the kids. Love her spoiling the little boy. Love the new fic too, I would love to see something like this again too :)
Author's Response: Something like this... whew. I can try but I make no promises. Yeah, looking back there probably could/should have been more JAM. I just got carried away with JAM kids, and who doesn't love JAM kids? Thanks for reading!

I literally registered so I could comment on this fic. I LOVE it. I read and re-read it all the time. It's so well written and I love the story. I would love to see more of your AU stuff like this again. So great.
Author's Response: I'm excited that you registered just to comment! I can only hope to write something so well liked, but I will definitely try again with another AU. Thanks.

Wow, I read this story in one night (a work night no less; didn't get to bed until after 1 am!)and I was amazed at the depth of character development and how consistent the flow of it was. The characters grew without changing their true substance, if you get what I'm trying to say with that. The Jim/Franny connection was so great, and the scene where Franny learns at 15 that he's not her biological father was just so well done. I could just picture how Jim looked when Franny was taking it out on him. Very descriptive writing. I only discovered this site a few weeks ago, but you and this story are now in my favorites. I'll be looking to see what other stories you've done as soon as I catch up on my sleep!
Those of us with no talent for this kind of thing thank you for writing!
Author's Response: That was really my goal while writing this story, to disrupt sleeping schedules. I know it's not honest work, but a girl's gotta stick to what she's good at. Seriously though I'm glad you weren't let down after reading that late. I just had fun with the story and am sometimes amazed that it does indeed flow. Thank you for reviewing.

amazing story...so sad it is over...i really enjoy your AU!!
Author's Response: I'm sad it's over and it's been almost a week since I posted it (I wonder what Franny is doing right now). I'm such an AU-whore. So eventually I'll start another one.

This story was simply wonderful and I like how you ended it with Franny's wedding, because really she started it all. The memories are great, but I can't say I wasn't a little angry that Franny got to meet Roy. I really almost cried with Jim though :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you only "almost cried" because I was really trying to keep this epilogue tear free. Thank you so much for reading.

i love this so much and i am so sad it's over. but what a way to go. seriously, best epilogue choice ever. it was so fun to see how they'd grown up and to see the rest of their kids. and how they reacted. this is one of my favorite AUs ever. it's so great.
Author's Response: Thanks, that's why it took a little over a week to get this posted; took me a while to figure the structure I wanted to use with the flashbacks. I'm glad you liked the finished product.

Really great job, italianfood. Perfect, sentimental ending. So sweet that they're still in love after so many years together.
Author's Response: Thanks NanReg! Also thank you for never failing to leave a review and always being very honest about what you thought.

It just so happens I reread the whole story this week just for the fun of it. Now I am crying that not only was the epilogue perfect but it's over. I loved the little glimpses we got into their life and thought you did a great job with Roy. I will miss this story.
Author's Response: khand3stooges, thank you for always reviewing! I really appreciated it.

Just a big, big "Thank You"! A truly wonderful story that so vividly captured the spirit of what we love about Jim and Pam.
Author's Response: No, thank you!

Before this and Dunder Hall... I wasn't a big fan of extreme AU's but the way you write is perfect and suitably natural - you have a real talent for this kind of thing and I'll defo be reading any and all other stories you might come up with... so please keep writing and don't be afraid to try new ideas whatever they may be, I promise I'll read... if anything else is as good as this story was, I'll be just as hooked.
So sorry to see this finished but I guess it had to end somewhere... but I'll defo be reading it again in a few months. Looking back, it went from fairly dark/dreary/lonely angst, through the perfect character development and growth, to this happy ending... well done; no mean feat. Thanks! 10/10
Author's Response: JamesMichael, you are another reviewer that I truly look forward to reading what you thought about my chapters. I hope to continue to hear what you think. Thank you so much.

This story was gorgeous. I really haven't read a more beautifully written story in a long time. It's hard to come across a story written that well throughout so many chapters and you nailed it. The epilogue could not have been any better and I can't even believe it's over. It's very rare to find a fanfiction that comes across as a perfectly scripted novel/short story. Everything just worked and connected.
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you! Your review has left me a little speechless. Just really, thank you!

*happy sigh* That was a wonderful ending. I liked how you flashed back to give us a taste of what family life was like growing up and I really enjoyed the scene of the girls at the hospital as well as Franny's first meeting with Roy(at least one she'd remember). I also appreciated how you kept the Jim and Franny relationship, always special, always different.
And the final moments with just Jim and Pam reminded me of where we all began. Which reminds me. Now that it's all over (*sniffle*) I must read it all over again. Wonderful storytelling and characterization, I always look forward to more from you.
Author's Response: thank you so much. You got exactly what I was hoping readers would get from those final moments.

Awww, what a perfect ending. Thanks italianfood for such a wonderful story.
I'm with you iwantphillyjim! Definitely worth re-reading (and printing). :)

This was a really great ride! Like I said in a prior review, I enjoyed it much more than I do most AUs. Interesting that you brought Roy back for a cameo appearance.
Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I couldn't help myself, I just had to write an adult Franny and Roy scene.

*Di is crying into her keyboard* I don't want it to end. So awesome, just so, so awesome. I really loved this story chapter for chapter. I'm like an Italianfood fan fic groupie, I have read each chapter twice already, now I'll have to go for round 3, non stop, word for word...who's with me? Well Done! Did Franny dance with Uncle Dwight at her wedding?
Author's Response: I like to think that Franny and Dwight did take a spin or two around the dance floor. Dwight may have even showed Jim up in the moves department!rnrnWow, groupie? I'm truly honored. I hope it's good the 3rd time around.
