I love this era in history and you've added Jim and Pam into so seamlessly it's astounding. You're one of the best writers on the archive and I can't wait to read more of this. :)

Author's Response:

Aw thanks! I was hoping not to make it sound too weird and out of place.

And you totally made me blush! You're the sweetest. :)

I've never watched Weeds before and I wasn't going to read this because I'm not a big fan of crossovers but you've won me over with this! I can't wait to see how this story unfolds!

 I know I should be worried that Pam's secret is going to get out but honestly, my mind keeps going to Jim in that uniform. So, thank you for that mental image. Seriously.

Even though I've read this sometime ago, this still punches me in the grief bone. I love this idea and your style of writing baffles me with how great it is and how well you describe things without having to describe every single detail because it's all there if you read between the lines. Let's be honest here, I personally think you should become an author because 1) you're great at writing and 2) Law school has taken up all your time and I rarely get to talk to you and my face looks like Jim's sad face for Pam. :( <----like this, only 1000000x magnified! Can't wait to see what happens next! ;)

Author's Response: I have the sad face, too! Law school + 3 hour time difference = So little chat time!! Never fear, though, I am still writing!! I swear! (And if not you\'re welcome to fly out and kick my ass!)

I'm an AU whore, so when I checked the archive for updates today and saw and AU by you, I felt like Dwight at a Battlestar Gallactica convention. I love how much emotion you put into so little words. This is such a beautiful piece of literature and I think you should get paid to write fanfic all day long. I'll put that on my Christmas list. ;)

Author's Response: elly, I hope you've been very good this year, because how awesome would that be?  Paid to write fanfic?  Only the best dealio of all time.  And Dwight at a BG convention?  Shut your mouth!  Thank you so much for such a fabulous and fun review.  I hope you keep reading!

Once again, Sweetpea, you slay me. When you are done with this fic, would you mind if I took it to Vegas and married it? In all seriousness, I've never lost a spouse/significant other, but you've made me feel Jim's pain and mourning for Sarah.Let's hope Miss Beesly can help him through this valley he seems to be in. Please update soon. :)

Author's Response: Oh, elly, this just cracked me right up!  Okay, you can take it to Vegas, but I need it back by Friday cause this thing is in serious need of an update.  I have some legitimate excuses, but who wants to read my whining?  No one, that's who!  Thank you so much for reading and reviewing and I promise chapter 3 is on the way.

Date: October 12, 2008 Title: Chapter 3: The Nature of Fun

This may be my favorite chapter of this so far. I love how you seamlessly incorporated the talking heads and brief interviews. I also love the individual personalities you gave each of the secondary characters. I've never reviewed every chapter of every story that I've loved but I'm going to try to change that with this. Because of this fic and the website you linked on the boards, I've been buying copies of DFW's work wherever I can find it and I can't wait to read all of it. Thank you for writing and posting this.

Author's Response:

Elly, thank you so much for this!  I'm thrilled that you're enjoying this, but this is going to be very small, rotten potatoes (that smell like old tomatoes and dirt) once you start reading DFW.  Have fun on that journey.

Chapter 4 is percolating in my head right now and should be bubbling over and into Word today and tomorrow.  I hope you like it.

Where is my mind? I read this when it was posted and I could've swore I left a review but I checked today to edit it and apparently, I didn't! Okay, enough random EllaBella story hour, on to the review! I love this story more than Creed loves mung beans. Seriously. I'm sad that this story is coming to an end because I won't have anything new from you to look forward to and that makes me cry a little on the inside. So, for the good of the fandom, please write more soon! :D

Author's Response:

Elly, you never fail to crack me up!  Trust me, I've promised lisahoo and EverybodyHurts some smut so many times now, if I don't deliver after this they're going to start calling me a big fic-tease!

I'm so glad you've enjoyed this.  Even though everyone says we write for ourselves...yes, yes, we write for ourselves, for sure...what good would it be without readers and feedback?  It would be me jumping around my living room, pathetic and alone, fist-pumping like Dwight in the stairwell, after I finished a chapter.  So you save me from that pitiful fate! 

I hope you enjoy the epilogue and meet me in the gutter after this!  :-*

I love this story so much. I know I tell you that in every review but it's true. I love the intricate details you weaved into this story and you are truly talented. This story has made me go back and read all of your work and leave the reviews you so deserve. I will definitely read this again. I may not trust Phyllis, but I trust you with whatever you choose to write. I'm all for a Sweetpea, Lisahoo, Colette, and Lovefool joint project and I hope this isn't the last one I see!

 P.S. Who's the guy in the drawing? I feel like I'm missing something vital to the story!



Author's Response: elly, or should I say E-money?  Thank you so much for being such a faithful reader and reviewer - it means the world to me and I'm so glad you enjoyed this.  I would like nothing better than a joint project with those fabulous women!  What a blast that would be!  The guy in the drawing is DFW himself.  :-*

I really love a good AU and this seems to be joining the ranks of my favorites. I liked how you didn't present the typical obstacles between Jim & Pam and you also didn't have Jim fall over himself to date Pam either. I also like how Pam seemed more courageous in her exchanges with Jim & yes, Facebook is a ridiculously huge part of my life, being a college student and all.Hope you update soon!


Author's Response: Aww, thanks, elly! :) I like to think the Jim in this story is a neat little cross between Jim the character and John the actor. I love both equally. Haha.

I love that you provided the songs to listen to while reading this chapter--it really helped get into Pam's mindset. I usually can find one or two things wrong with any fic I read but I can't find anything that stands out to me & I can't wait to see where you take these two. Is it weird that I can't wait until they change their relationship statuses on facebook?

Author's Response: Well thank you, elly, I\'m so glad you\'re enjoying it. I\'m my own worst critic I guess, because I\'m always finding something wrong with the story, and I\'m sure the moderators on this site hate me because I probably send each story into the queue 30, 50 times before I\'m just sorta \"ok\" with the final result. Haha. And may I just say that \"Everything I Can\'t Say\" is one of my favorite stories on here. Ever.

P.S. Thanks for the  "Everything" compliment! I really appreciate it!



Author's Response: Of course, \"Everything...\" was one of the very first stories I fell in love with and read over and over again. :) And thank you, I will definitely take you up on your offer. Perhaps soon, because after this latest chapter, my brain is kind of at a standstill as to where I should take these two characters next... Oy.
