Bio:

I'm a Kandy shipper all the way, was pointed here by a fellow Kandy fan when the Kandy Edition of the 55 word challenge was posted.  All of those fics are amazing, by the way, and I hope that all of those brilliant authors will consider writing more Kandy.  And if anyone is looking to read more Kandy fic, here's a list of the ones that can be found on LiveJournal: Kandy Master List.  And here is where all of the Kandy shippers have been united: omgkandy  I also love reading pretty much any fic about Andy because he's such a fun character to play with.

I'm madly in love with Ed Helms, which is probably why I'm such an avid Kandy shipper, Andy needs some love!  And of course I'm madly in love with Steve Carell, too.  They are by far the sexiest men on Earth!

Check out my new LJ community, The Andy Bernard Chronicles!  It even includes a master list of all the greatest Andy quotes and all the Andy fanfic that I could find.

EDIT Sept 2009: Holy wow, it's been a long time since I've read this bio.  Dang, I was enthusiastic, wasn't I?  By the way, my heart now belongs to Andy/Oscar, but I'm pretty good with Andy/Anybody, if I'm honest.

Haha, I love Kelly's nicknames for Andy!  So cute.  I just can't get enough of these little Kandy moments, you write them so perfectly!

Haha, so true, Kandy is completely in our heads, but they so belong together!  And in Beach Games they had a few scenes together, my favorite being the part where Kelly is the only one cheering on Andy during the hotdog eating contest.  Makes me squee every time I see it!  But yeah, Kandy is definitely just a figment of our imaginations.  I honestly never thought to put them together until I read a fic by dollsome called "Accidental Harmony" that was so perfectly in character that she made a believer out of me, and really it wasn't that hard since I'm in love with Ed Helms and would love to see his character develop some more.



Author's Response: I think the idea is a lot of fun and very creative, but I couldn't help but poke a little fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway (and great user name!)!

Oh, this was so perfect!!!!  I loved it!  Especially Andy's creepy notes on her mirror scribbled in lipstick, hee.  And that pink rose was just pure awesomeness.  You really captured how utterly annoying Andy can be, and yet the little glimpses into his charm are what makes him lovable.  Romantic Andy was just too darn irresistable, I don't blame Kelly for loving him!  Love the fact that he winks at her, so very dorky and Andyish after the little romantic gesture.  Aww, perfect!  And all of this in only 55 words!  I think my review is already twice that size.  Ha, loved it!  I hope you write more Kandy fic in the very near future!

Author's Response:

LOL, though I really don't mind the long review. At all. I actually do have another (longer) Kandy story in the works, if I can manage to get into the right mindset and not get caught up in school stuff looming ahead of me :) Thank you so much for the review!

Summary:

This is an idea I've had for a long time. It is inspired by the very end of the Six Feet Under series finale (hence the title), and it seems that the 55 word style would be perfect for it. Each chapter will focus on a different Office character. 20 chapters are planned.

I do not own these characters, and would not do this to them if I did. No copyright infringement intended.

This one totally warmed my heart!  I am now happy crying, and for that I thank you.  Absolutely wonderful way for Michael to go out.  His life was always so full of tragedy, so I love that his is the one ending that is completely filled with joy.  That part about him calling Guiness was so very Michael, and that very last line put such a huge, goofy grin on my face.  Absolutely beautiful!  Each and every one of these chapters were incredibly amazing and I won't be able to imagine the endings to these characters' stories any other way.  Especially Michael's, because that was too utterly perfect.

Oh no!  ANDY!  I was afraid to read this one when I saw the name at the bottom, but it was so incredibly sweet and such a very Andy way to leave the world.  I love that he was mourning the loss of both of his women, but he still had that positivity running through his veins and it refused to let him get lost in his pain.  "Rit-da-dit-dit-doo" was such a perfect way to end it, and it pretty much sums up his life.  Absolutely beautiful.  Loved it!

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked this one! Thanks for reading and reviewing all of these. It means alot to me!

OMG, now I am even more in love with you!!!  Not only did you give me that sweet Kandy that I love earlier, but now you've gone and married Andy off to Karen, my other favorite ship.  I love you.  Seriously.  You fulfill my crazy Andy fantasies without meaning to.  And I am so happy that Andy was able to find happiness with someone after Kelly, and it was so incredibly sweet that he was there with her to the end.  Oh, I got a bit teary at the part where he kissed her goodbye as she passed away.  So perfect!!!  And now I'm worried about how bad Andy's chapter will make me cry.  Poor guy has lost two wonderful women.  My heart is breaking for him already!  Anyway, wonderful chapter, loved it!



Author's Response: Thank you so much, firthgal. I'm always happy when you approve of my Andy related chapters, since you're the Andy expert! I'm so glad you took the time to tell me your thoughts on it, and it means so much to me thatyou liked it. Thanks!

Once again, absolutely brilliant.  You captured Ryan's resistance to Kelly's love so perfectly in just a few words, and you managed to make me feel sorry for him, something that rarely happens for me!  Beautiful writing.  This is such a wonderful fic, I can't wait to read the rest!

Hey!  I know I already reviewed this on LJ, but I just couldn't resist showing some more of my love for this fic.  It is so made of awesome.  My absolute favorite part:

“If we were ever at like a park, or something, and some kid spilled, I don’t know, something liquid-y on me, would you laugh at me?”   

Andy scoffed as if she’d just asked him if he didn’t secretly think boy bands were made of awesome.    “I would be laughing at him. On the ground. Because that’s where he would be after I pummeled him.”

That was just utter perfection!  And that ending still leaves me with a huge smile.  Wonderful writing!



Author's Response: Thank you... again! Seriously, double reviews make me very happy because it mean that you enjoyed it enough to give it a second glance.

Wow.  Wow.  I love it!!!  All the emotion coming from Andy, absolutely excellent.  Oh, my heart was breaking for him at this bit:

Andy held up his end of the dialog, but he was crushed. His grand proclamation never saw daylight.

But not because he was afraid. It just wasn't needed.

Great description!  And I love that Karen sees how wonderful Andy is.  And I so cannot wait for some red hot lovin'!!!!  Squeeeeeeee!!!!!  I'm getting all in a fluster just thinking about it.



Author's Response: Thanks so much!  If you think Andy's a stud in this chapter...  ;)

Date: November 29, 2007 Title: Chapter 8: The Totality of Her Submission

Only you can make me all excited, giggly, and red-faced through an entire chapter and then when I get to the end make me hold my hand to my heart and say, "Awww," with a few tears in my eyes.  It takes talent to make butt-sex sound like such a beautiful act of love.  This was absolutely excellent, and I so love you for adding in the bit about Andy/mistress/strap on.  That made me squee.  And ooooooh, his punishment!  GAH!  Yeah, all of that drove me wild.  I say your next story should definitely be about Andy and his dominatrix.  Andy/Angela + porn makes me queasy, though I bet you could still manage to pull it off.

Anyway, this entire story was excellent from start to finish.  Loved it!  It satisfied so many of my Andy fantasies.  You, my friend, are awesomeness personified.



Author's Response: Thanks much!  You've been extremely encouraging all along.  I don't know if I'd have been able to keep putting all my perviness to paper if I didn't know that there were at least two people out there who really liked reading it.  I think Andy's eagerness to please, coupled with his years of strict training, gives him all the tools he needs to get the job done right.  Plus, he packs more heat than the Tuna.  (I know, Karen told me) ;)

Reviewer: firthgal Signed 10
Date: November 09, 2007 Title: Chapter 7: Suffocating Warmth

GAH!!!!  Absolutely perfect once again.  Love everything about this.  So incredibly hot.  And I LOVE that you referred back to Andy's dominatrix, you have no idea how happy you made me by putting an image in my head of tied up Andy and a whip.  Oh yes.  Any chance that Andy's been butt sexed by a dominatrix with a strap-on?  Or is that just my sick, perverted mind?

Anyway, once again I loved the total submission that Karen is so desperate to give Andy, and I love that he wouldn't let her give him a blow job.  Now that's a dream man!  And oh, I loved the nervous look on his face when he realized what she wanted at the end.  Oh, this is too perfect!  I cannot wait for the butt sex!  I'm going to be so depressed when this Andy porn is over.  You write THE best fanfic porn that I have ever read, and I've read quite a bit.  And the squeeful fangirl in me is hoping that this story has a happy ending for Karen and Andy, because I have to say, right now it looks like they are both madly in love.



Author's Response:

Thanks so much...  I'm honored.  I love the whole dominatrix backstory.  That could be a fic in itself.  I imagine Andy's empathy will come from experience when it comes to the butt-sexing (although he'll probably be a first-time giver, he'll know firsthand all about taking it slowly)  So no, it's not just your perverted mind working here ;) thanks again!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!  That was so incredibly perfect!!!  Hot yet beautiful at the same time.  My face is beet red from being overheated and I'm still giggling like a little school girl.  Gah, so perfect!  And I truly think that it's perfectly in character for Andy to be so great at that.  For some reason I have it stuck in my mind that that dominatrix he lived with taught him all kinds of ways to please a woman.  And I love how slow and deliberate he was, how much he wanted to savor every moment.  And I LOVE that Karen wanted to be completely exposed to him, that the way he looked at her made her feel beautiful.  So perfect!  I'm all tingly.  Oh, I love you!  This was so totally awesome!  By far my favorite chapter!  Although, I would have stripped his clothes off right from the start if I was Karen. ;)  But seriously, everything about this was perfect, the symbolism, her offering herself completely, him being in awe, his nervousness just before, him excitedly running off at the end and stripping off his clothes and being totally dorky after he had just been completely studly and romantic.  PERFECT!!!  I LOVED IT!!!!!!

Author's Response: Thanks so much...  I credit you and Kelly for keeping me from getting flustered and keeping all my pent up Karen/Andy lust pent up in my head.   I guess I always just sort of thought Andy'd be really good lover, and Karen just kindof puts him at ease with her presence.  I'm glad you liked the exposure theme.  I write slowly but there will be more stud Andy...  ;) 

Reviewer: firthgal Signed
Date: September 19, 2007 Title: Chapter 3: The Initial Blast of Cold

Oh wow!  Certainly a side to the Jim/Karen relationship that I never thought about.  I so very much love that she has that impulse to sleep with Andy so that she can feel loved, but she's strong enough to fight it because she doesn't want to hurt him the same way that Jim hurt her.  So perfect.  I also love that Andy's apartment is so organized.  I've always imagined it that way too.  A control thing, I guess.  As Karen pointed out, he doesn't seem to have control over where his life goes, so he probably takes pleasure in keeping the little things in his life organized.  Same thing with the liquor at the end.  Such a nice touch.  You can tell that he was anxiously awaiting for her return and he wanted everything to be perfect.  So sweet!

And I really hope that Jerkface Jim gets his comeuppance.



Author's Response:

You're awesome as always, firthgal.  You've pointed stuff out about Andy that I hadn't really thought about actively, but just sort of felt subconsciously, and it came out in the story, if that makes sense.  When Karen's gone, Andy's probably going to be my new favorite, for having seen her as Jim wouldn't, and for always being so lovably quirky in the funniest way.
