AWESOME!!!! I'm already excited about this!....oh this will be a good trip. Moving on to chapter 2!
Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad that you're already on board! Thank you :)

This is so great! I'm really liking the Ryan/Pam friendship.... (I hope it's just a friendship! haha) It's nice to see Ryan not being mean or annoyed. I can't wait for more! And I love how Michael booked them on a cruise that has had many "disappearances" ... that's so him. haha I can't wait for more!
Author's Response: I'm glad you are liking it so far! I feel like Pam needs someone else she can relate to in this office now that Jim is being a brat to her. Stay tuned :)

Really good, I'm really into this idea
And it has cool!Ryan which is never bad
I actually really like Ryan, when he's not a jerk which is like almost never.
Back on topic: Great job

Very good start to the story, and I am actually really loving the Pam and Ryan interaction...even so much as to say part of me is rooting for them to hookup. If Jim wants to act like a baby and pout because of actions that Roy took when Pam was just being honest, then he can just stay with his wonderful girlfriend Karen and watch Pam flirt with Ryan...suck on that Halpert!! Keep up the good work.

I'm glad you made Ryan likeable in this, it's a nice change from his normal self. Great chapter, can't wait for an update!

Not Scared! Love Jealous!Jim and Ryan's assessment that they need to stick together - makes me think of the grief circle scene.
So funny: Ryan swearing the phone won't work, warning Kelly multiple times, then just hanging up.
This made me breathe diet pepsi, so thanks for that: "Yes! Baltimore is in Maryland. You’re really doing great with this new area of the country, Karen,” Michael answers proudly. So hilarious! I can't figure if he's being earnest or sarcastic (probably earnest).
Love that Karen's not an evil bit-cuh.
So excited to read more, and as always, more than willing to beta if you need another.
Author's Response: Oh I loove that grief circle scene! hehe. And Michael is definitely being earnest when he's talking to Karen so I'm glad you liked that bit. Thank you for reviewing! And perhaps I'll be sending a chapter your way at some point? ;)
Date: March 27, 2007 09:02 pm Title: They were very important in the movie Titanic
I cannot wait to see where this is going!
Author's Response: Thanks for the encouragement :)
Date: March 27, 2007 09:02 pm Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
I am new to fanfic... But a long time Office fan ... great attention to detail....this story has me hook line and sinker ...
Author's Response: Well I hope I can break you in to Office fanfic at least a little :) Welcome! Can't wait to hear more of your thoughts!
Date: March 27, 2007 08:41 pm Title: They were very important in the movie Titanic
Yeah, I'm reviewing again in response to you response. :)
Ignore the stones! I will throw flowers and pillows to cushion you! So...write Ryan/Pam. :) You know it's what you want....don't give in to the masses...
Oh, and if you ever need an extra beta, let me know. And I'm not just saying that so I can get a sneak peek of upcoming chapters. Filled with Ryan and Pam upcoming chapters...
Author's Response: Heehee, I love you for saying that, you have no idea :) Pam <3 Ryan 4eva! That being said, I would love to have you as a beta!! Its like a celebrity betaing for me or something with the amount that I adore your writing :) That being said... I'm sending you the next chapter post haste.
Date: March 27, 2007 08:38 pm Title: They were very important in the movie Titanic
Ok so I don't know what's up with me these days but I am all about Ryan and a little peeved at Jim. so if Jim isn't seeing Pam.....maybe Ryan can help him see it huh?
I love this story - it is different and original and I love that it is after the Cocktails debacle. Great job and post fast. Seriously Wednesdays are dull in my office, so I'm hoping I'll have some more of this story to read..... please please.
Author's Response: I am infatuated with Ryan. Yep, I said it. I love him. Hee. I'll do my best to get you some more to read tomorrow! The next chapter is written and rests on the shoulders of my lovely betas :) Plus, I have no computer access at work, but don't worry, it'll be up at some point tomorrow!
Date: March 27, 2007 08:32 pm Title: They were very important in the movie Titanic
I am excited to see where you're going to take this and I am loving the Ryan and Pam interaction. I think the part about the office doing weird things to Ryan is totally plausible since you so see fun Ryan every once in awhile like when he was on the sales call with Dwight or at the bar during Cocktails.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you said that! People seem to peg Ryan as an ass sometimes, but I just think he hates his job, haha. I think if we saw him out of the office more it'd be different. Glad you're liking it!
Date: March 27, 2007 08:30 pm Title: They were very important in the movie Titanic
You know what would be a delicious reward for me personally? Ryan and Pam ending up together. Which reminds me that I am way behind on reviewing your stuff.
So, you know, think about it. ;) This is good so far, I can't wait to see where it goes. Yay for you!
Author's Response: Oh God, you've figured out my Ryan/Pam weakness... I wish there were a thousand Ryan/Pam fics :) I feel like I would have stones thrown at me, hehe, but don't worry.. I think maybe you'll enjoy what happens too *evil grin*
Date: March 27, 2007 08:26 pm Title: They were very important in the movie Titanic
this is really good - i appreciate your authors note at the end because seriously ... ryan and pam - yuck! brin on the jam!!!
Author's Response: Glad you are enjoying it! I love the JAM, but sometimes it fun to experiment just a little, isn't it? ;)

I love cranky!Jim. I hope his facade breaks soon!
And yeah, there's Squirrel coming...... ;-)
Good stuff, Dinkin!
Author's Response: Yay Squirrel! And I'm glad you're enjoying so far :) I love being able to entertain someone who provides me with so much entertainment!
Date: March 27, 2007 08:08 pm Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
I love your stuff, but something about this story just fills me with dread. I don't think I can bear to watch Jim's heart broken for like the 3981st time as he watches Pam and Ryan. I actually LIKE Ryan and I don't want to have him fall under the Pam spell (ryan and kelley 4 eva) only to have his heart broken. Or conversely, I don't know if I could take it he and Pam end up together either...sigh...but I know I'll still be reading, that's why I'm still watching too...we're all masochists
Author's Response: Haha, well I hope I didn't scare you away too much. I don't plan on making it super angsty if that helps at all, but I don't want to give away too much ;)
Author's Response: Oh, and I am also all about Ryan and Kelly 4 eva! I love those two so so much.

Awesome so far - and fast too. Maybe you should spread it out a bit so we have time to bask in the glory before moving on to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Haha, asking for slower updates?? Blasphemy :) Just kidding, actually I'm going to try and go for a chapter a day (or every other day) so we'll see how that goes. Glad you like it so far!
Date: March 27, 2007 08:07 pm Title: They were very important in the movie Titanic
Haha. Looks like someone (*cough* Jim) is a bit jealous. I love where this is going.
Author's Response: Glad you like it! Jealous indeed...
Date: March 27, 2007 08:05 pm Title: They were very important in the movie Titanic
Why do I get pissed when Jim puts his arm around Karen?
Why am I strangly fascinated by a Ryan/Pam "whatever".
I do not know these answers. I do know that I am hooked on this story!! And my Kelly question was answered!
Author's Response: Hehe, I definitely have to agree with your first two questions... as they both plague me as well. Glad that you're hooked!
Date: March 27, 2007 07:59 pm Title: They were very important in the movie Titanic
Pam & Ryan? Interesting...
I like this story. It's always nice to see what authors do when they take the characters out of the office, and you're doing a great job with it so far. Keep it up!! --CH
Author's Response: Thank you! I was hoping that the Pam/Ryan possibilities weren't going to scare the JAM fans away from the story... trust me, jammers should stick around ;)
Date: March 27, 2007 07:34 pm Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
I like it. But your stuff is always great. Keep going please!
Author's Response: Thank you! Hope you keep reading :)
Date: March 27, 2007 06:48 pm Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
Oh sorry, I forgot, how on earth did Ryan manage to Not take Kelly?
Author's Response: Kelly is in customer relations and only the sales department (and Pam) went on the trip... convenient, no?
Date: March 27, 2007 06:47 pm Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
Ohhhh, hurry and update. This is so good!
Author's Response: Thank you, I will!
Date: March 27, 2007 06:46 pm Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
Hurrah! This is a really fun premise, and I hope you're telling the truth about more soon. ^^
I'm kind of in love with your treatment of Pam's impression of Ryan, especially (okay, well, she sort of doesn’t), It feels really true to the characters on The Office, and also the apathetic pettiness of an actual office.
Also, I'm happy to beta for you (if only because I want to read more, sooner!) if you still need one.
Author's Response: I would love a second beta if you're willing! In fact, I'll e-mail you the third chapter sometime this evening :) Thank you!!
Date: March 27, 2007 06:09 pm Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
Haha this sounds like a fun idea. So wait, is Jan on the cruise? As Michael's 'spouse'?
Author's Response: Hmm, I guess I didn't clarify that, but Jan is coming with them as a "corporate representative"... that happens to be sharing a room with Michael ;)
Date: March 27, 2007 06:01 pm Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
I'm definitely getting into it. You absolutely must update soon!!
Author's Response: Done and done :) Let me know what you think!
