Holy crap. This is AMAZING.
You have done so truly impressive world-building here, and the way you've put our beloved characters in that world is a lot of fun. Jim's space-centric inner monologue is very entertaining, and the twists on canon (the sheer physical impossibility of transferring, Roy's literally being unable to be there for Pam) are cleverly suited to the universe we're in.
Honestly, mainly I'm just kinda blown away by how immersive this is. I love it.
Author's Response: Thank you so much (as you can tell, I'm going though past reviews)! Office Space was probably my furthest-pushed concept, so it's really nice to know it felt well-built!

gahhhh i really enjoyed this fic. MAJOR kudos for including all of the sci-fi effects. It was such a unique fic and I enjoyed every moment of it. I really love the way you write Kelly and the chemistry between Jim and Pam was practically palpable in every single chapter. Wow. Just brilliant!
Author's Response: Ah thank you! I really appreciate hearing that! I've wanted to write scifi JAM for a while so I'm super happy to hear it worked well for you!

I’m not a huge sci-fi person but you reeled me in quickly. The world building alone is so amazing in this fic and then the added JAM angst? You’ve got me hook, line, and sinker. I can’t wait to read more.
Author's Response: I'm glad to hear it! I designed this to be as accessible as I could make it to a non-sci-fi audience, so I hope you'll keep on with it!

So here's the thing, Comfect. Obviously I'm going to read this and I'm going to love it. No doubt. But I don't know a single thing about sci-fi outside of the original Star Trek from the '60s and the robots on Mystery Science 3000, so I don't really understand what's going on here, but I'm following along the best I can and well, I'm here for it.
Things I already love: Frozen Roy. That's fantastic. I'm here for this. "a man who would be just as warm and emotionally available down in the freezing darkness of the Warehouse as he had been before." God, this is such a great line, and such a great comparison of OG Roy to AU Roy.
I'm excited for this one!
Author's Response: Well, thank you, Coley, for your trust! You do not need to know much if anything about sci-fi to read this story, except that some of the weird flourishes may be, well, weirder, but I promise, this is a straight JAM story just in a sci-fi setting. Frozen Roy was probably my single biggest reason for wanting that setting, so I'm really glad that worked for you!

Well this looks exciting! Excellent set up, and like Warrior I thought of Passengers (even though I’ve never seen it). I was actually really excited at the thought of them being stuck up in space together after the confession/rejection with a frozen Roy… thinking that would be definitely something different. So I was a little bummed when I read there was a possibility of a Stamford transfer still but either way I always enjoy your AUs and this will certainly be no different.
Author's Response:
Thanks! I also haven't seen it...
Don't worry that the Stamford transfer will actually happen--I set this up with an homage to canon there but he doesn't get away in this storyline until after they arrive, which I assure you is well after the actual story will be worked out. So he'll definitely be stuck there in the wake of this.

Not to bad actually. Was any of this also inspired by the movie "Passengers," with Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt? Cause I get that kind of sense. There are key differences of course, but I digress.
Even though the setting is different the feeling is the same. Jim being crushed by Pam's rejection. However this time around I can see that it's even harder to bear since they're stuck on the same colony ship. Looking forward to seeing how this one plays out.
Author's Response: Wow, high praise there ;). This isn't specifically inspired by Passengers, since I haven't actually seen it, but I'm a scifi buff so it's inspired by the same sorts of things that inspired that movie. I'm glad you're finding the feeling the same--hope that continues. Jim is definitely going to have to stick around instead of transferring, so things will diverge pretty quickly, but yeah, poor boy's pretty durn crushed.

Wow! This is really interesting! I enjoyed everybody's nicknames and how you've managed to remake the world withiugh changing its essence.
Author's Response: Thanks! I hope you keep thinking I haven't changed its essence as we go forward, because I'm not entirely confident in my own abilities to do that...
