The casting in this chapter is so perfect! Kelly as advocate of true love, Toby as hapless joiner of Pam and Packer, Kevin as Fezzik. I love you. :-)
Author's Response: Yay! Thanks, Lissa ;)

Ryan is the narrator! I hadn't caught on to that at all. If someone wants to do something for true love, that would certainly be Kelly. :) Dwight and Kevin were very cool together. Can't wait to read the last chapter!
Author's Response: Some of Grandpa's lines will make a LOT more sense now ;) Thanks, Gen!

If Dwight had to make a quick getaway, Kevin would make good, slow bait for his pursuers.
Snort. That was so good. Every sentence has these awesome details - I really need to read twice, once to find out what happens and once to appreciate the words. Outstanding!
Author's Response: Thanks, Jonah5 - I appreciate that! :)

kelly was perfect as valerie! i could just see her shreiking her lines :) and of course toby will want to do the paperwork slowly, because he wouldn't want pam to go out with packer!
Author's Response:
Valerie was the first character I cast after Westley + Buttercup. Kelly's too perfect :) Thanks, again, janelle!

When the second message came through, Dwight dropped his lightsaber and pulled his shirt back on.
OMG. I can't EVEN....
There's so much I love about this chapter - I seriously can't even begin to list them. Ryan and Kelly. Kevin.
"Today's Saturday."
"Shoot," said Kevin.
LMAO!
You've accomplished this arduous task to perfection, Shan. Really, REALLY well done. :)
Author's Response:
Hee! Glad you liked those. I was LOL writing this chapter. Yeah, I crack myself up - I'm a dork. Thanks, Krissy ;)

Heeeee. I came back to review this because I was in too much of a hurry to read the next chapter. Anyway...the nightmare sequence is wonderful. Of course it would be Phyllis to call her out like that. Gorgeous!
Author's Response: Thanks! I knew from the start that Phyllis would defend True Love ;)

I love every bit of this- it's fun, and spot-on with the original, and it makes me laugh. But then I get to a line like this: "The place where, in a soft blue glow, he had kissed her, silent and determined." and I just stop, because that's so profoundly, simply right. That's the best description of the Kiss I think I've read.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks, Lis. I just like reliving the Kiss ;) Glad you're digging the story!

Yes! I just keep loving everything about this! And the dream totally fooled me--I can't believe I forgot about that part of the movie! I think I need to watch it again. :-)
Author's Response: Yes! Watch it again! I find once a year is necessary :)

Poor Jim drunk off his butt! He needs to be rescued from his slumber.
This made laugh so much:
"Ewwwwwww! Nooooo, Grandpa, you've got it all wrong! Pam doesn't kiss Packer."
"Why not?"
"Because! She kisses Jim! After everything he did, if she kissed Packer, it wouldn't be fair!"
You have the grandfather and the grandkid down so well. :)Author's Response: Thanks, Gen - they are so fun to write. And yes, poor devastated Jim ;(

This is great, great, beyond great.

Author's Response: Heh, that was Andy calling IC students geeks, not me (in case you attended)! Thanks, NightsInAugust ;)

I love you. Six fingers. Oh my God.
Oh, and thank you for mentioning Karen, and making her decent, but still not ZOMGJimLovesHer!-ish.
Stupid JimandPamandToddandAndy. Grr.
I'd say more but I want to read this again. =P
Author's Response: Thanks, moofoot!
Author's Response: ETA: I used Karen as we saw her in the season 3 premiere, before the flirty stuff. Can have Jim getting distracted!

Dwight to the rescuuuuue!!!
I loved Phyllis as the Hectoring Woman. And Andy as the Albino. Hell, I love everything about this.
Look for a shout-out in the "Grief Counseling" thread soon. ;)
Author's Response: Ah, but Karen was the Albino ;) Yay for the shout-out! Thanks, Beth ;)

shan, this was just pitch perfect, as usual! I love that the Pit of Despair is a bar. Oh, aren't they always? ;)
Author's Response: It was between a bar and Andy's basement. I figured Jim was more likely to go to a bar. Thanks, pennylane!

Author's Response: OK, I won't ;) Thanks, Pixel!

Yay Shan! I need to tell you I love you for the following reasons: 1) I am no longer feeling pathetic staying in tonight and doing laundry 2) You had Andy take Jim to The City.
My evening suddenly has purpose. I'm on my way to rescue him now - if Dwight doesn't find him first. :)
All kidding aside - I have to admit my favorite-est parts still continue to be those involving Grandpa. So perfect!
Author's Response:
Yay! Glad you're still liking the Grandpa bits - some folks think they break the story too much, but I really don't have many more than the movie does (maybe 2).
Did you find Jim before Dwight? ;)
