Ah, my old friend :) I have missed your writing. Glad you are back. hugs
Loving this by the way. Nice proposal scene, sweet ending, i like the part where they remind themselves that it's real. Sometimes you can be so lucky, that you have to make sure.
Author's Response: Di! So good to see you on here. It's been forever. Thank you for the kind review. We'll have to email again soon.

Omigosh, I can't believe this is over soon! But this chapter is just so simple and sweet and very them. I love the proposal, love that she wants to elope, love that she's so excited for it. The apology was so cute, so very Pam, and I really love how they mock one another - it's just so loving. I wouldn't be opposed to you continuing this well into the future, though I do know that when you're at the end of the story it's best to bow it up properly. I'm sad to see this one go though. You did some wonderful writing here. :)
Author's Response: Oh Deedldee, don't tempt me to keep writing this. I really could. So glad you liked this chapter.

For the record, I have no problem with you going crazy on this ;) Very sweet. *sigh* I don't want this to end either. I know it has to at some point, but I'll miss it very much :')
Author's Response: Thank you! I've always been bad at ending stories, I always become too attached.
Date: February 22, 2011 07:03 am Title: We are real
I'm sure you picked the right one because this is so good! But I really don't want this story to end. You capture them so well, I'd be happy to share many more years with them.
Author's Response: That means so much that you don't want it to end. Thank you!

I'm going to miss this story, it's been such a wonderful AU. The hair pulling line wasawesome, and sometimes you still do LOL.
Anyway, glad you're back writing, don't leave us again, k?
Author's Response: Won't be leaving anytime soon! I forgot how much I enjoyed writing.
Date: February 22, 2011 06:12 am Title: We are real
I think you picked a great one! The proposal chapter was really well done. I'm sad that soon you'll be finished though, when this story is all finished I'm gonna miss it! I hope that you'll write keep writing though. Everything you write is so well done!
I'm wondering if Pam is so tired because Jim keeps her busy at bedtime or is she sleepy because of something else? Like she's growing something.... Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: Thank you, Aivilo. I'm definitely going to keep writing. I have another story waiting on the deck as soon as this one is done. Hopefully you'll enjoy it.
As far Pam being tired and that other reason you will soon see!

Aw, poor Jim, always getting turned down when asking this girl to move in with him. I think she does need to be on her own first, and I'm glad you created that situation to show that she's not over reliant on men and can attempt to stand on her own.
I'm glad you're out of your funk! I've been in one for a long time now. Hoping I can crawl out of it. I feel your pain. Hope to read an update on this soon, and I'm so sad that it's nearing the end. Hope you have something new in the works once this is complete. :)
Author's Response: Deedldee, I would say nothing gets me out of a funk more than reading reviews! So thank you. I do have something new in the works ready to go once this is complete. Another AU, not as extreme. I hope you get through you funk soon! Love your stories.

What a Idea, What if Roy Was Jim's Brother... And it would be logical as Jim's real brothers are just as bad to him as Roy... You made it work pretty well indeed. And I can't wait for more so good stuff and please keep it up...
Author's Response: Thank you! Always excited to have new readers. I will say that when I started this story I was fearful that it would blow up in my face.
Date: February 20, 2011 08:15 pm Title: We're good... good.
I'm happy that your funk has passed. But, can I also say that I think you made it work for you? Jim's mood was really believably written and maybe you were just feeling his pain. I also enjoyed the family interaction with Pam and Jim as well. I'll be sad when this ends, but I look forward to reading all about it!
Author's Response: Great way to look at it, Aivilo. Jim and I were both in very weird moods this chapter.

This update makes me glad I'm home on a Saturday night :D Sorry to hear that you were feeling funky (and not in a good way), italianfood. I never would have guessed from reading this. As always, looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you, NanReg! That really makes me feel better about my self imposed "funks".

Another great chapter. Roy giving Jim the birthday beats extra hard because he stole his fiance, that was classic :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Hannah_Halpert! I just felt like it was something that the Halpert boys would have to do.

Glad to see you're out of your funk! Just in time, too, as I was getting anxious for an update!
Well done with this chapter, I don't know what you were worried about! :)
Author's Response: Thank you for that! I'm always worried about everything. I'm a nervous poster.
Date: February 16, 2011 08:20 pm Title: We will have to come back
I really am enjoying your AU! Thanks so much for the regular updates! I know it's gonna be a good day when I have ItalianFood with breakfast!
I always look forward to more!
Author's Response: Thanks, Aivilo! I will try to keep them fast and regular.

Cute re-imagining of Dwight's B&B! I don't know why but this little interchange really made me chuckle:
“And did the website not also say that there was a pool?”
“Yes, in 1915 there was pool added to our sister hotel in Flushing
Author's Response: HAHA. I added that in there last minute, it felt like fun Dwight reasoning.
Date: February 16, 2011 12:22 pm Title: We will have to come back
Funchapers are good, that was really cute. Love that they ent to Dwight's inn lol
Author's Response: Thanks! I realized that I hadn't done an AU that paid tribute to Money yet.
Date: February 16, 2011 10:54 am Title: I could make you happier
Love, love this. Can't wait to see what happens next
Author's Response: Thanks, KarenB! Glad to have you on board.
Date: February 16, 2011 07:29 am Title: We will have to come back
LOL--pleasant surprise! Just like Money, this chap has sweetness, heart and humor :D This little exchange made me smile: “What’s your favorite position?” She whispered to him. His face turned bright red. “Won’t answer that,” he said stifling a laugh.
Author's Response: Thank you! I had fun writing this chapter after I got over my initial nerves about it.
Date: February 16, 2011 03:58 am Title: We will have to come back
Awwww they're just so cute! This is a fun chapter, I really enjoy the playfulness of these two. And I really love that you're posting chapters in rapid succession. It really keeps me in tune with the story. (two thumbs up and a gold star for you.)
Hopefully that's a coherent review. I'm up way too early for work.
Author's Response: Thanks Deedldee! Very coherent. Glad you enjoyed it.

That was very interesting. I really liked the flashbacks. More later...
Author's Response: Thanks, Vampiric Blood.
Date: February 14, 2011 10:30 am Title: We went right when we should have gone left
Well, it was bound to happen, right? Glad to have the inevitable Pam and Roy meeting over with. Good job--awkward, a little tense, not saccharine sweet. The flashbacks were touching--that Jim loved Pam even when they were small is quite moving. *sigh*
Author's Response: Glad you approve, NanReg! I knew I was teetering on the edge of being overly sweet and way too cutesy.
Date: February 14, 2011 09:51 am Title: We went right when we should have gone left
That was really cute. The flashbacks were great.How adorable was little Jim, even as a kid wanting to protect Pam.
Looking forward to reading about their trip :)
Author's Response: Thanks! Could you imagine little Jim? Sigh...
Date: February 14, 2011 06:54 am Title: We went right when we should have gone left
Awwww!!! I loved this so much. Especially the end and also her talking to Roy again I like that he didn't yell at her. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Glad you liked the chapter. I was afraid it would be too cutesy.
Date: February 14, 2011 06:02 am Title: We went right when we should have gone left
Aww, I think this my favorite chapter. The story from their childhood is the cutest thing ever written. And this little exchange makes my heart melt:
“Why didn’t you run?”
“Without you?” He asked as he checked his mirror to merge onto the highway.
“Yeah.”
“Never crossed my mind to.”
Author's Response: WooHoo for favorite chapter! I really enjoyed writing the childhood flashback.

Bringing up the mixup of the Sandra Bullock was brilliant. You did a great job of mixing sexytime, withemotion and humour :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I've always loved that scene from Initiation and I finally found my chance to use it.
Date: February 12, 2011 09:28 pm Title: We should slow this down
Great chapter. I really loved when Roy asked why Pam? Why the girl I love? And how Jim said he thought the same thing back when Roy first asked her out, that was sweet, in a strange way :)
Author's Response: Thank you. Also, I've been meaning to ask you when are you going to finish Accidentally in Love?
