Angelholme 2007-09-28 ch 21,	abuseWow. I have read all ten of the stories in the past three days or so, and I am very impressed. You have captured everyone perfectly, and the plot arcs have kept me suitably enthralled. Very, very good.
Galaen 2007-05-31 ch 21,	abuseTHAT WAS FREAKING AMAZING! AMAZING series. I cannot help but want more for the next three years and I WILL beg if I have to. I know you must be busy and I don't know if you even keep up with this anymore but still...make it an AU, an extreme AU, beyond extreme, do anything! I just would hate to see something this extraordinary go and lay down quietly and declare itself finished. You've captured human nature and determination (the White House is a culture unto its own) so finely. It's a fine illustration of observation and desire for a better world and how we ought to be living and how we should aspire to go about our lives; challenges continue and trouble will always be there, essentially life will always suck but the only thing to do is get back up when you fall and to keep on living. There are some wonderful lessons and cute quirky morals in your stories whether they are intentional or not and I truly hope that one day you will feel enabled to continue the next three years of the presidency.
Milly 2006-02-22 ch 21, anon.	abuseOh god. dies in a corner somewhere This is the best (and longest) fan fiction I think I have ever read and it is brilliant! Brilliant, I tell you! Your characterizations seem perfect - even when they're doing possible OOC things like getting boyfriends (squee! Gay!Sam is my fav!) and it fits together extremely well. Cannot believe you have so little comments here, because you should have billions of people going, OMG I LOVE YOU! Because I loved it all. The President and the kitten was so utterly West Wing! Man, you are very cool! :D
BrokenSkye 2004-11-09 ch 21,	abuseWow! Amazing! Mind-boggling! And if you would care to look them up in a thesaurus, all those other words too. I can't believe that you wrote 10 whole parts! And they're all fabulous! I especially love the speeches. Please, please, please write another part. There are so many unanswered questions. Will anything happen to Charlie, Zoey and their baby? Will Toby and Andy actually get married again and will they have their dream child? (adoption/other?) Will CJ and Danny get together? Will Josh and Donna (together or seperately) ever get in a romantic relationship? Do Sam and Steve have the great relationship? Or will somehting happen? I hope that you keep writing - keep up the good work! BrokenSkye
tars 2004-08-29 ch 21, anon.	abusewhere do i start. first, no metion of more? What about Zoey, Hoynes, what about the kitten, how's leo's health, are josh and donna ever going to wake up and smell the roses? My questions will never end, and you seem to have a brilliant feel for the humor, intensity, wit and interaction of the West Wing; what makes it special. Please please continue this, i've read so much these past few days, i'm so impressed. Everything is done carefully and with flavor and sensitivity, you've captured the characters, invented situations that are quite possible, and it makes them easy to accept while adding what i'm sure is your own spin of the situtation. I cannot tell you how hopeful I am of more...please...pretty please?
BlackRaven 2004-07-21 ch 20,	abuseHey... Just found this quote and immidiately thought of your story - somehow it really fits If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. Henry David Thoreau Let me know if you like it!
BlackRaven 2004-07-19 ch 21,	abuseHey... Another amazing story! how on earth do you do it over and over again? You're an amazing writer! I just hope this wasn't the last part in the series and that you're going to post part 11 sometime soon - it seemed like this part was about tying up all the loose ends and U hope that doesn't mean you're finished with this series! PS - what about that book of yours that was going to be published? Is it still going to?
Julesh113 2004-06-08 ch 21, anon.	abuseThis story is wonderful...I have really enjoyed the entire series. Hope you will continue it...and give some more Jed and Abbey... Keep up the great work.
daffycat7 2004-06-07 ch 21,	abuseA great ending and great SotU speech. We should be so lucky in real life (grump). As usual I loved your story, and I beseech you to do an eleventh part of your epic. Your writing,plots and characterizations are all top notch.
Celeste6 2004-06-04 ch 19,	abuseI got chills when he read the new words - beautiful. And again during Sam & Toby's back and forth rewrite. You are without a doubt the best thing left in the whole West Wing universe. Keep writing!!
BlackEyedGirl 2004-06-04 ch 19,	abuseYou write the speeches like the President should sound. Like we all wish our leaders sounded. That was one of the best bits of Sorkin's writing and, as always, you capture it perfectly. Wish I could do the same! Thanks, and keep writing
daffycat7 2004-06-03 ch 18,	abuseI am really enjoying this story. Your affection for all the characters is what makes me like your work so much. I also appreciate your intelligent handling of policy issues, and the way you balance it with the personal stories. If there are Jeds for 2004 I may just nominate Buster the Kitten as best original character. Even he has a defined personality, and is not just a generic cat. I hope you continue your Further to Fly epic beyond this story, as there still seems to be much more to hear about: Charlie and Zoey's baby, Sam and his boyfriend, Toby and Andie, does the President's health hold up, how does Ash settle in, etc., etc... Thanks so much for what you have given us so far.
USCJCF 2004-05-27 ch 11,	abuseI'm so glad FtF is back. And this chapter is awesome! I love how you brought in the fishbowl, and some unexpected African issues ("Are we sure it is, in fact, there?" hee), and, well, everything. Great chapter! =)
natlski 2004-05-26 ch 10,	abuseAnother great chapter. You capture the characters so well. While your chapters are frustratingly short, they keep me wanting more!
MAHC 2004-05-26 ch 10, anon.	abuseMarvelous continuation of your series. I thought the description of Ash's meeting with the President was so strong. The wry way of describing the intimidation that people feel when entering the Oval to meet the President - and especially a President with such a dominating presence. I like that you indicate that even though the President is not physically tall, his personality and charisma make that secondary. Also, I like the comment about the grip being as firm as the jaw. Very nice scene throughout. Looking forward to more in this story.
