Oh wow. So initially I just passed this up because I was like Kandy? Please. Like anyone could ever make me believe that. But whoa!!! Kandy is now my new fav. Did not expect that.

awwwww!!!!!! that last line is so precious. it makes me wish that Kelly really could choose. because above all else, i think she thinks this is her only chance. you captured that thought really well, that Kelly doesn't think she can have her own Jam, so she settles for "Ryan is a douche."

You really nailed Kelly (TWSS) - her voice, her thoughts, her actions.. And your Pam and Jim were so cute - "Jim's standing beside her trying not to laugh, looking at her like he's never seen anything so adorable in his entire life." Awesome line. And the last line made me sad. Poor Andy.

This may well be my favorite Kelly!fic ever. She comes across as a caricature on the show, and is naturally written as such in most fic. This gives her a heart, but is still believably the same Kelly we see on the show.
Poor Andy. I love that the four of them all hang out, though. Something that on the surface seems so unlikely, but again, you make it believable.

I loved the perspective here - Kelly and Andy? I could buy it, and I was kind of upset that Ryan showed up at the end and Kelly caved. Sequel?

Wow. Where to start?
First - I love how even though it's not written in first person it still feels like Kelly is telling the story - the word totally and the 12 douchy guys that Ryan is friends with - brilliance.
Also - I would never expect the pairing of Kelly/Andy, and even moreso the foursome of Kelly/Andy/Pam & Jim as friends - but it really worked here.
You never, ever disappoint!
Author's Response: You are so sweet! :) I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and thank you for this wonderful review!

I grinned so hard it hurt for the first two-thirds, then I got all sad for the ending. The 'I had this awesome tilapia with crab meat and we had sex in the bathroom after. Oh! And tiramisu. Tiramisu is so fucking good right?', the break up sex argument, Pennsyl-mania being the lamest thing ever except they already have t-shirts, Ashton and Demi - all gold.
Author's Response: Ahahaha, yeah for some reason I had in my head that I would going to write something really sad about Kelly staying with Ryan even though she probably shouldn't, but then I started making it funny and making Ryan less assy than I was going to hahah, such is life! I'm so glad you liked it!! :)

Kelly and Andy! Are you kidding me?!? (I don't know which one of them would talk more!)
This is sweet: He kisses her hand like they live in a movie.
And I hope Andy gets a real girlfriend who isn't a part-time frozen yogurt chef. And over 18. Aww. You made me love Andy!
Author's Response: I have developed a huge crush on Andy (don't worry, Ryan is still my number 1, but Andy is definitely vying for number 2!) lately. He's just so... huggable? Is huggable the right word? Thanks lisahoo! :)

Oh, this was fantastic!! I love a well-written Kelly story, and you've nailed her: "Oh yeah that," she shrugs. "It was okay. He seems really stressed out about moving, but he did find my blow dryer when he was packing so that was rad. I had this awesome tilapia with crab meat and we had sex in the bathroom after. Oh! And tiramisu. Tiramisu is so fucking good right? What would you call that? It's not cake, right? It's more like cake-pudding."
That was hysterical.
Also, is it wrong to admit that I um, have the Lizzie McGuire movie soundtrack? Because if that's wrong, then I don't want to be right.
Author's Response: Oh thank you so much! I love Kellyfic too, she is just such a great and complex character to work with. Oh, and, uh... why not take a crazy chance? Why not do a crazy dance? Is this what dreams are made of??? Yeah, I totally don't own that movie, heh heh... okay, you caught me.

This is really wonderful. I especially love all the part about break-up sex, and how Kelly (and we) get to know Andy a bit better.
So good.
Author's Response: Thank you!! And not even a mention of a cage-match? Our relationship here is really blossoming Too Late Kev, don't you think?

Aww this made me a little sad...because ever since that scene from beach games where andy yells at kelly during the egg thing i've become convinced they should date....he likes girls with a high scholl mentality she wants a guy to obbesseve over her a match made in heaven...i like your andy here he seems very in character even though i feel like you've rounded him out a little...great job!
Author's Response: That scene from Beach Games has me all giddy over the idea of Andy and Kelly! (That and when she is so happy that he wins the hotdog contest) - I'm really glad you felt like Andy was in character especially because this is sort of my first try at writing him. I kept having to go back and say the lines in an "Andy voice" in my head, hahaha. Thank you!!
