What I like about this is it shows what Cupid won't do for people. He offers them a level of respect to figure things out for themselves. Sometimes to their detriment for sure. Loved the lines about considering how obsessed with facts Oscar is, it took him quite a while to see the facts in front of his face. Also, the last bit with the Senator got a good laugh as well. Nice job.

Okay, HIGHLY intrigued by the idea that the STATE senator debacle is in part due to Cupid's interference, and I am now looking forward to Angela's chapter even more.
Lines I loved here:
"Yes, I have seen the movie Ghost. No, it was not like that." - I just love the tone here. This is a Cupid who has seen it all.
"Oscar's brother responded with one word: "Duh."" HA.

Well, this is adorable. And I’m kind of in love with Cupid? He must have sent me a sparrow.

Aw, poor Meredith! PPD that lead to drinking, and her husband left with their daughter! Ugh, ouch...
Loved this chapter!

I’m sorry Meredith has had such a tough time in the romance department. This chapter was absolutely hilarious and I don’t know how you were able to do that while also telling her story. You have such a gift, my friend! Or maybe you just know Cupid. 👀

This really fits for Meredith. Clears up the number of kids she has as gives a good look into her character. You do make me feel for her a bit. She had a real chance but it wasn't in the cards.

I appreciate you embracing the full darkness of Meredith as a serious character here. Although also: ow?
Continue to really like the tone from Cupid here too!

Who would have known that Meredith could pull at my heartstrings and have me feeling bad for her. I loved this though and the backstory you gave her her life/ex-husbands. Its perfect!

I like this choice of where to start. Also some of the ways Cupid here is moving. He sets things up, but in the end it's the person who decides what to do with his messages. Nice to get a glimpse of his methods for sure.
Oh Kevin, what are we going to do with you? At times he has so much potential, but most of the time he just misses the mark. Maybe Apollo would be a better patron god for Kevin, being the god of music and drumming is one thing Kev is actually good at.

This is such a fun idea in the run up to Valentine's Day. Really like the voice you've given Cupid here. Also the history and classical nerd side of me really loves how you've made the distinction between Cupid and Eros. Nice work there. I'll bet Dunder-Mifflin kept Cupid busy for years with everything that happened there. Looking forward to getting into this one.

Okay this concept is so much fun and I can't wait to read all of the characters' chapters!
*Now listen. I don't get many chances with Kevin.*
SCREAMING
Awesome idea, WW. Excited for more.

Aw, WW! I loved this!! Poor Kevin never catches a break in the game of love, and I loved hearing Cupid's reasoning behind this.
"...she felt as if they should just be friends. I hate that phrase." I loved this, don't we ALL hate the friend zone?
Great job, WW! Excited to read more!

Bless Kevin. Loved the bacon backstory here from OL! Really enjoying Cupid’s tone of voice, it’s hilarious!

Lol, WW I love this so far! It's funny that he knows Creed, I wonder *why* they spent a lot of time together in the 70s? Hmmmm... regardless, I love how you set this up! Great work, I'm super excited to see who Cupid's first victim is!

This story about how Stacy and Kevin met is perfect, and really effective embraces the ways in which Kevin is basically a big kid. A big, creepy kid. Stacy's a trooper, really.
Working in Lynn's bacon breakfast as a "sparrow" is a really good connection between semi-canon and concept, too.

Oh, Kevin. Man of few words (why waste time say lot word when few word do trick, anyway?) but also seemingly always saying the wrong thing when it comes to love. I dont blame Cupid for eventually admitting defeat. Maybe he can retire with Kevin and just lay on the beach eating hot dogs.
Date: February 01, 2022 09:04 am Title: Kevin Malone
HAHA this was so funny. I loooove the story of Kevin meeting Stacy in an ice cream truck line. You really enhanced their whole relationship by telling it from Cupid’s perspective. Haha I can’t wait for the next chapter.

!!!!!!! Oh my God, okay, it’s happening!

Great concept - love your cupid's voice.
Taking Michael's goof and making it a thing, worked well.
This should be fun.

This sounds like it's going to be great fun! I'm loving your Cupid, and am completely buying that he and Creed hung out in the 70s. Looking forward to seeing what happens!

Ooooh, like Erin would say, “Fun!”
Great opening chapter. Really looking forward to this!

Oh this is so good already! Loved the introduction. Hilarious about Creed. Love the way you’ve written Cupid. Can’t wait for more!

YAY IT'S HERE.
Okay, I really like the start to this. You've given Cupid a very distinctive voice and a very vivid image here, and this is a fun way to reimagine the character as something of a world-weary sophisticate frustrated with the foibles of us mere mortals.
His rivalry with Eros was a nice touch... as was the reference to Pam's beauty in ordinary things line. But I think my favorite bit is that it turns out that Michael's malaprop with Cupid's sparrow is actually more accurate than our standard version of how Cupid works. Another accidental Michael moment of wisdom! (The description of why it's a "sparrow" is terrific, too.)
Looking forward to the rest of the ride!

Ww this is GENIUS. The concept alone has me wanting all of the chapters right now, but the way you have written Cupid has me on the verge of begging for them all right now. I love me some Jim and Pam, but I have a feeling Cupid is going to be the highlight of this story. Amazing. Also the fact that only Creed can see him? Im dying. Perfectenshlag.
