The Princess Bride is one of my all-time favorite books and movies. This was an absolutely lovely take on bringing two of my favorite worlds together. So clever and a great use of our favorite characters. Really great stuff!

You must've had a lot of fun writing this one, because it was a lot of fun to read!
Author's Response: I did - I'm glad it showed! Thanks, EJER :)

Oh my God, you are a genius! This was inspired. It tied in so well with The Princess Bride, but you still had the timing and the flavor and the humor of the office.
My name is Dwight K. Schrute. You killed my avatar. Prepare to die. -- I swear I fell over I laughed so hard. And Ryan and Kelly curing death, my face hurts from grinning so hard.
I love this like candy. Thanks!
Author's Response: Thank you, pigeon -- glad I could make you fall over :)

OH MY GOSH! That was...wow. Stroke of PURE genius!
Making Dwight Inigo Montoya and Andy the six fingered avatar/swordsman was just...wow. I'm blown away.
I'm so sorry it took me this long to find it but absolutely BRILLANT.
Very very good job! :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Snarkland! This one's getting a second readership because of the new listing.

So I found this through the handy archive of featured stories at the MTT boards and I'm so ashamed I'd never read this before. Because, seriously, might be the greatest thing ever written. I just.. wow.. perfection. So utterly good and I just.. yeah. I love this so much. And I need to stop babbling but this was SO GOOD. I wish I had more words to properly articulate this awesomeness but suffice to say, it is awesome. Clearly.
Author's Response: Thank you, oobadnama -- this was a fun one to write -- I'm glad you liked it!

Jim's eyebrows rose. "Michael has some pretty compromising photos of you and one of the gorillas. And the gorilla's on top."
This really sounds possible to me. Hmmm.
Toby chuckled and said, "Have you ever considered starting your own business? Somewhere... not here?"
Oh Toby. That is so Toby. So perfect....
Author's Response: Yes... Toby :)

That was a great story. You did a great job of keeping the story moving, making it interesting, and keeping it in line with the orginals. Loved Dwight and his quest. Heck, I just loved the whole darn thing.
Author's Response: Thanks, SycamoreGirl - Dwight's quest was fun :)
Date: November 23, 2006 07:22 am Title: The Finale
Haha, how many times did you watch this movie? Cute story anyway.
Author's Response: Um, a lot. I mapped the story scene-by-scene, so I wouldn't miss anything. So there are a lot of parallels. Thanks, Kelly :)

What a lovely story. This is definately one of my favorite all time adaptations. What's particularily rewarding about The Paper Bride is that it takes a common idea--using characters in a story setting that is not their own--and really adapts it well.
One of the hardest things about adaptations is allowing the characters to truly feel like they are a part of the story and to allow the characters room to be themselves. This story does that fabulously. I was also thrilled to see the story pulled off set in The Office itself. That is something definately to be proud of.
I generally think the earlier scenes were better written. Towards the end, the characters seemed to conform more and more to the original Princess Bride. I also felt like the whole story was hastily written and if it had a thorough once over, it would be perfect, but that's a really really minor point. Keep up the good work.
P.S. I'm a huge fan of the Princess Bride.
Author's Response: Thanks for the constructive criticism, Dooflegna. Once NaNoWriMo is over, I may do a once-over on several stories here. Glad you liked it!

Well, I finally watched the movie, and freaking loved it, and so I watched it a few more times, and loved it even more, and now I adore the fact that you have brought two of the best things on film together.
And I get the references now, and I love Dwight as Inigo, and Packer as Humperdinck, and everything! Everything everything everything. It's amazing how you tied these two together because alone I don't think I would've seen any resemblances, but after reading The Paper Bride I can make all sorts of comparisons, and that is awesome.
You are awesome. Thank you for writing this!!
Author's Response: Thanks, moofoot! So glad you liked the movie, too (1 of my desert island 5, for sure). Thsi was a fun one to write. :)

I don't think I've laughed out loud so many times while reading a story in...ever. That was fantastic.
Brava!
Author's Response: Thanks, fireworkfiasco! What great feedback :)

So, I'm back to reading fics again after a looong hiatus of sort and I'm trying to catch up on what I've missed. I came across this one because you mentioned it in a reply to someones comment in another story of yours.. blah blah. So I had to look for it.
I have to say I honestly don't think I've read anything like this. It was so amazing, lol. I laughed so hard. And while I don't really like The Princess Bride *gasp*, this was fabulous.
And you sneaky, sneaky thing! The whole "H" on the cufflink thing had me thinking "Halpert" as I'm sure it did many others, I literally gasped when the granddaughter giggled at Kelly being at Ryans apartment yadda yadda. That killed me.
Anyway, great, wonderful, fantabulous job. I think I've just wrote the longest review in the history of reviews but still, it's so wonderful. *adds to favs*
Author's Response: That's great, justy, thanks! Pretty cool that you liked this without liking The Princess Bride. Also cool (for me) that the identity of the grandfather was a good surprise! Glad you found the story ;)
Date: October 16, 2006 04:38 pm Title: The Finale
Bravo! You did a great job (as always) with this, and I'll rush out to rent The Princess Bride as soon as I can!
Author's Response: Thanks, Luna! I think you'll like the movie :)
Date: October 15, 2006 05:32 pm Title: The Finale
Hilarious, and touching, and sweet, and (again) spot-on with the source material. I'm really blown away. As you wish, shan. As you wish. :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Lis, for all of your reviews! This was a fun one :)
Date: October 15, 2006 09:05 am Title: The Finale
Aw, this was so great!! Parts of it were just brilliant, really--I laughed out loud more times than I can count!
Author's Response: Thanks, Canaduck, that makes me very happy :)
Date: October 15, 2006 08:58 am Title: The Finale
Yay! Wonderful finish. You definitely did the "You killed my avatar" scene justice :D And, I love the ending on the Ryan/Kelly/granddaughter side : "squeeee" Hee!
Author's Response: Thanks, Semby! I can't claim the final duel - I basically transcribed it from the movie. But glad you liked it, as well as the ending of the narration :)
Date: October 14, 2006 07:50 pm Title: The Finale
I think I love you.
Like, seriously. Oh. My. God.
I love The Princess Bride to DEATH, and this was just... so perfect. So, so perfect. (Dwight!) And I have a friend I absolutely have to show this to. :D
Author's Response: Great, thanks, Em! Glad you liked it - share it around ;)
Date: October 14, 2006 07:41 pm Title: The Finale
YAY!!! Thank you for giving us such a glorious gem. I adored every single syllable Shan. (and I'm obviously feeling quite alliterative this evening.) :)
Author's Response:
Thanks, Krissy! It's funny, my husband was reading earlier, and he said, "xoxoxo hasn't reviewed yet - she always reviews." So I said, "It is Saturday night -- maybe she, you know, has plans?"
So glad you liked it! Looking forward to catching up on all of your fic soon ;)

This made me giddy with joy.
Seriously, I'm a little light headed.
Author's Response: Thanks, Rose! Maybe you should sit down ;)
