This is a solid intro for what's coming, but my favorite bit of this is the detail about the nickels for the vending machine prank being the same ones Jim used to weight his phone, which is instant head canon.
Author's Response: Thank you! That has always been my head canon, so I'm glad to see others adopt it as well.

This fic has delighted me twice now, and I just wanted to pay my respects.
There's a lot of greatness here but the element I want to call particular attention to is the Pam/Jim dynamic through the cycles. Even with the same day repeating endlessly, Jim still stayed fresh and surprising to Pam. It really showed how in tune the two of them are. :-)
Author's Response: Thank you! It's always wonderful to hear from people who are reading the fic after it's done! I'm so glad their dynamic over the repetitions worked for you; it was my favorite part of writing it!

I have loved every update you’ve posted. I’m sad to see this story coming to an end but it’s been an incredible journey! Looking forward to a great final chapter!

This is so much fun. I love that Jim is on board immediately. And your dialogue between them is spot on.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I worry a lot about the dialogue, so that is great to hear!

The montage worked perfectly for this. Pam is getting to the point of frustration just like Bill Murray did.
Author's Response: I'm delighted you liked the montage! It was time, and I'm glad you agree about her emotional place. Thank you for the review!

The arc that you have chosen for this story is working so nicely. The way that you have intermixed the canon from the show into your work is amazing. It is nice that you show the friendship that Pam and Karen could have had is refreshing, I for one am not a Karen hater. Looking forward to the next chapters.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I like Karen-Pam friendships, so I enjoyed the chance to toss it into S2 here. Thanks for reading!

You're doing a great job with this! I get really excited at every update, please keep it going, can't wait to see what's next
Author's Response: Thanks! I consider it a point of pride to not leave Works in Progress unfinished, so I promise it'll keep getting updates.

She could practice breaking up with Roy. Maybe she'll decide that breaking up with him will end the cycling. :-)
Author's Response: Oh, this will definitely happen :) Thanks for reading!

I was so excited to see a new chapter! This was fun.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm updating more because my academic semester ended so I have the time now...

Your writing is so easy to read. The story just flows. I like how Pam is focusing on herself and what she feels, and not getting caught up in what other people feel. Looking forward to the next round of booze cruise!
Author's Response: Thank you! I tend to write Pam (and most other characters, if I'm honest, except Kelly and Michael) as fairly introspective, so I'm glad that's working for you here!

Oh, you. I have been waiting for this since you mentioned in a chat that one time. And you picked the Perfect episode and gave great canon insight to set up the following chapters. I am So Excited about this story. Seriously, I can't wait to see where you take it.
Author's Response: Thank you for the review waterfall! I'm so excited to have you read it.

I was thinking that she could try kissing Jim...knowing or at least thinking she knows that the day will reset and he won't remember.
Author's Response: I think that is likely to happen one day, but it may take a little longer because I'm not sure those two can kiss without her realizing what she needs ;)
Date: May 07, 2019 09:24 pm Title: Chapter 1: Day 1
She's avoiding Jim. Some part of her knows that the key lies with him but she's avoiding it. Which makes for great reading. Thank you for this update.
Author's Response: This is exactly correct, I think, so thank you for noticing :)

Hmmm...Jim, have you ever thought about Pam's panties?? I love this. Very fun and dialogue of all characters is true to them. Dwight with the holster in his armpit is perfect!!
Author's Response: Thank you! And wouldn't you love to ask Jim that? ;)

This is so fun to read. Very unique idea for a story. Thinking of ideas...she could have a big conversation with Katy about Jim where Katy tells Pam that she feels like Jim is holding back. Almost like he's in love with someone else.
Author's Response: Thank you! I appreciate it, and I will make use of your idea, which I also appreciate!

Very nice setup. I enjoyed the before work scene that can be woven into the Groundhog day theme so well. Looking forward to the next chapters You are such a talented writer.
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing what you think of the chapters as I build the various AU days Pam lives through.

I wondered which day you’d be groundhog-ing after reading the synopsis, & I was not disappointed! I definitely guessed wrong though, my first thought was Casino Night.
I loved that you turned Michael into a verb, very apt. I also loved the description of the prank on Dwight. I’m really looking forward to seeing where you go with this!
Author's Response: I strongly considered Casino Night, but it seemed too obvious for Pam to figure out what she should change. Booze Cruise is a little more subtle, I think. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm so happy this is the episode you decided to work with for this story!
The vending machine prank is one of my favorites, so I love that it's included here; and I'm curious to see how it plays on loop.
Poor Pam. I feel for her, that her day to day routine is already a bit dull and she's stuck in a rut...the more I think about this Comfect, the more excited I am at the possibilities of how the next chapters can go -- the options are truly endless, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm planning to do a lot with the vending machine prank because it's the open which means it's sort of my equivalent of Bill Murray's alarm clock. Let me know as you go how you feel about the chapters!

I thought of one more thing. So many of our fanfics are just telling the same story over and over with different endings. This story does that by design.
Author's Response: This is a really good point, and one I'll keep in mind as I go along. This is basically just me playing different fanfic authors along the way ;)

This is fantastic! Great idea and great writing. Pam's life is so routine and dull before Jim. Looking forward to chapter 2.
Author's Response: Thank you! I really appreciate hearing all of that.

Hooray new story! That was my first reaction. The second was, "Over 5,000 words for the first chapter? Comfect, you've outdone yourself!" In a good way of course. Glad you're taking up the torch for the "Booze Cruise" repeating time loop idea. I was quite frustrated when I got to the last chapter of the other Booze Cruise time loop story and it wasn't finished. Knowing you, I'm sure this one won't be left hanging.
Lots of great internal thoughts here. Setting things up in the non-AU realm first was wise I think. Make sure we have a base to start from. Pam's delight in all things with Jim was wonderful to see. The prank, skulduggery with Stanley, meaningful nods in the conference room, and of course the moment she shares with Jim on deck. There was enough internal thoughts to keep things interesting while summing up and moving through the episode in a good way. Nicely done in that regard.
Can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response:
Heh. Yeah, that was my single longest chapter ever, I think. That or V-J Day. I promise to at least get past chapter 2 (which is how far the other one got) and yeah, given my obsession with not leaving WIP unfinished it'll probably get finished too.
Thanks for the feedback on the story itself. You got exactly what I was trying to do, and I'm glad it succeeded. Thanks for the review!
