Oh, my. Codpiece? Are you serious? *laughs butt off*
Also, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?!?!? I've been waiting for Girly-girl since...since...*sniffs* ..well, it's been a long time!
Author's Response: I took emergency leave off from work because my mother's ill.

oh. my. god. OH. MY. GOD!!!! ok, i think i start most of my reviews that way but i am freakin DYING here! hahaha! a jeweled codpiece? do you need it???? that is priceless.
and i cannot BELIEVE you found a way to insert the society for creative anachronisms into all this - that is just FANTASTIC! you are hilarious!!!
"act natural. do not mention beets!" Oh my GOD!
Author's Response:
Don't worry about it, super_perfect. I've been assuming all along that you're just a deeply religious person who's at one with the universe.
Ah, the SCA. I had to give a speech once at one of their meetings and they tried to correct me on my use of Old English. When I asked what their source for pronunciation was, they showed me a website that some random guy had thrown together. His site also featured pictures of him and his giant jeweled codpiece. I suppose it was VERY jeweled to protect his jewels.

Michael and Jan's phone conversation here just killed me. I mean, killed me dead. *Thump. Rats come after corpse*. Everyone needs a famous historical figure as a sidekick.
Author's Response:
Yeah, too bad Mozart's Friend, Butch Cassidy, was too busy to show.
I like the rats come after corpse because it suggests that although you are (technically) dead, you're still aware that small mammalian creatures, akin to BATS, are dragging your lifeless body away.
I can imagine a whole cemetary of corpses chatting. "So, Lester, I was lying in my coffin and I heard a scritch scritch sound and the first thing that popped into my head? It's gotta be those arthworms. But, nope. It was graverobbers. They stole my watch. Now I don't know what time it is."
Hmmm, yeah better end that before people start thinking I'm the weirdo.

YAY! More Girly Girl!! I missed this story! And bonus kissy points for Jim's (unsent) questions...
Date: May 17, 2007 05:15 am Title: Chapter 71 - The Crack Dealer's Real Estate Agent
OMG Hunter!!!!!! hahahahaha. And love the list of crossed out questions... half of them so naughty, the other half sounding like second grade (do you like me? please check yes or no).
Author's Response:
That's how I imagine Jim half-second grade / half naughty hellion. Why? Because I'm insane.
(do you like me? please check yes or no). hahahaha I wish I had included that! PLEASE CHECK YES OR NO! I ♥ U MCMUFFINS!

oh my god! ok, so your michael is a little over the top, even for michael but i freaking loved that whole phone conversation and the fact that he still has ben with him? loved it!!!
Author's Response: Wow! That is truly a compliment! I don't think I've ever heard of anyone EVER making Michael a little over the top. I didn't know he was toppable. Thank you, thank you. *bows*
Date: May 16, 2007 10:40 pm Title: Chapter 71 - The Crack Dealer's Real Estate Agent
I love Hunter/Jan and Michael's conversation. There was sombrero-snorting involved. Jim's list of truth questions was so sweet and wonderful. If only she could hear (and answer) every one. But she can't, so I will!!!
(This is Pam speaking)
I can't tell - it's too naughty. But it definitely has you in it, Jim. And Roy and Karen are dead and we never even knew them.
Everywhere.
Everywhere.
Roy who? I mean, yes.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Nothing to write home about. Sunken testicles and shriveled plank.
He said he needed help finding a puppy. We couldn't find it.
Because he's a tool. Plus the whole shrunken testicles, shriveled plank thing.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Me too, me too, me too, me too, me too, Yes, I do love you.
Again I say, Roy who? Which is to say, Yes.
Pfft. Toby who?
Author's Response:
Because he's a tool. Plus the whole shrunken testicles, shriveled plank thing. Hurt myself laughing at this.
shriveled plank yowch, that's gotta be the best putdown EVER!
He said he needed help finding a puppy. We couldn't find it. How do you come up with these?

Oh, what a cute ending. Thank you for momentarily putting me in a happy place, JAM-wise. (That's Samwise's brother.)
Love, love, love "Out of my way, freak show!" That Gordon was sort of a skeevy little perv.
I didn't understand Pam's note exactly.
The Hunter/Jan section was so good. I'm not exactly sure why Meredith was talking to Staaaacy, but I thought Meredith was so funny in that. And Kevin just thinking he should get a new phone!
And seriously, if you do need/want a beta for any of your non-Girly-Girl, I'm willing. TooLateKev at gmail dot com.
Author's Response:
Bonus points to Voldemort for doing a Lord of the Ring obscure reference!
Don't worry about Pam's note. It's not like Jim's going to take it home and put it in a secret box he's got in a non-working duct in his kitchen.
See what happens when you offer to beta? I go ahead and send you stuff. You should think about these things before offering! Pretty soon you'll be beta-ing so much you won't have time to write reviews! Mustn't have that.
Date: May 12, 2007 12:49 pm Title: Chapter 70 - Team Building Exercises
Woo-hoo! Girly-girl! And Pam growling? Awesome! I seriously love where this is going. Or where I think it's going, that is.
I loved Pam's post-it too!!! And Michael's idea of the treasures he's going to be getting. :) And Meredith on the phone with Stacy! Yikes. Poor Angela if she and Stacy ever meet up... And poor Toby, I hate when I'm driving people around and they pick music I don't like!
Okay. Anyways, the whole thing's great!
Author's Response: I dumped a boyfriend once because he always changed the presets on my radio. And I don't own a car. This was in my apartment! It's disconcerting to turn on the radio while you're cooking pasta and hit *1* and suddenly Black Sabbath is playing when you were expecting Blossom Dearie. However I did grow to appreciate the distinction between Guns N Roses and Motley Crüe (two bands that I previously used to get confused) so I didn't walk away from that relationship without growing as a human being. Right?

I love how right when I sign on I see that you updated. Anyways I love it, and I can't wait to read the next chapter. Always wanting more, ay?
Great work. :3

Adoring this. You're spot on with the personalities. :)
But, I want to hear more from Jim's Dream Journal. ;)
Author's Response: Jim's Dream Journal!!! I have got that all written but I have to wait for a night where I'm feeling all brave (drunk) to post that!

AHAHAHA! Not only, Ms. Muggins, did you provide us with the little gem about doing it 69, 6 or 9 times, but "You can't fax people!" and the return of Gordon? Thank you! THANK YOU. My otherwise dreary Wednesday evening thanks you!
Author's Response:
Oh, I had to do it! TWSS. Because how many authors have reached 69 chapters? It's a small club. We're the 69'ers. We kick the 76'ers butts and then we flip them over and (wait a sec, I just remembered this story is rated PG. Sorry. kids/ It won't happen again!)

Eeek! The return of creepy Ben Franklin!!
Author's Response: He's not creepy! He's just...... okay, he's creepy, but maybe he's evolving.

And you know what you said in the elevator yesterday…” He knew as soon as he said it, he’d gone too far.
She got that look on her face. The ‘I’m all business now; you should get back to work’ look. He hated that look. He sighed and went to his desk. He checked email. He returned some voicemail. He hated Mose. Muggins, that was awesome! It reminds me of her very sudden "swaying isn't dancing" friendly Pam to cornered semi-hostile Pam in 2 seconds.
Oh, the Kevin/Meredith talking about Karen scene is awesome. And ending with RUN! - it made me laugh.
"Curses!" (Do I detect an implied "Foiled again"? In any case, I inferred one. I love Her face lit up in a smile and he knew it had been worth it after that. Sweet.
Ben Franklin! Gordo! I heard that Ben Franklin had syphilis (or is it syphallus?). Maybe they should give him some of those condoms, but I'm not sure who he'd use them with. NOT Pam. NOT Jim. Ryan. Yep.

Yay yay yay for Girly! This truly made my crappy day into a not-so-crappy day! And I love that Jim and Pam are the only people in the office, except for Creed who wouldn't remember anything that happened anyway, but I really want to know what Karen's up to!! Oh, and Kevin & Meredith = awesome. That is all.

I bet Karen is a dirty girl. Because then I can hate her so much more easily. *Sigh*
Author's Response: How does she know that the School Girl Outfit is a very common sexual fantasy, huh? That's all I'm saying.
It's not like I know any common sexual fantasies and I'm an average person, right? That's all I'm sayin'.
*mentally starts listing common sexual fantasies*
Hmmm, maybe I need to go write a 5 Things Fic - 5 Common Sexual Fantasies that all the men at Dunder Mifflin Share..... Naw, that sounds like Bad!Fic or maybe Bad!Naughty!Fic.

This is getting WAY too long. Time to wrap it up and give us the Jammy goodness we're all waiting for.
Author's Response: Yeah. I've got to agree. I'll see what I can do. It might take me a few more chapters to wrap it up though. Bear with me. What exactly is the Jammy goodness you want so I can start planning that in.

Ewww! Ben Franklin! Ewww!
BTW -- it is half past time for Jim to break up with Karen and give Pam all the kisses he owes her.
Author's Response:
Aw, that's so sweet. You think Ben Franklin's bad! Like it can't get worse? You poor, innocent, sweet kid. Run for the hills! The day's just begun.
BTW -- yes. yes. and more yes.

You know, if you take an OS out, Jim's note says KISSES FOR ME. He could fold it to say that in a later chapter, like they do with Mad Magazine back covers (I assume they still do that, my Mad Magazine days are many decades in the past).
Let's see... NO ERRORS! (That I found, anyway.) I love Scampers, the vagrant woman, Slough (their street name of course, a callback to the BBC Office), "Jim will be an idiot", and Pam's realization that Dwight might be... blech, naked.
If you change this to Bad!Fic, then the line "Jim stuck out his tongue." could change to "Jim stuck out his tongue and lunged at Pam." I think it has a certain charm. Is charm the right word?
Oh, and I certainly liked Pam calling Jim Mr. Kissy Kissy. (Maybe we can have some Jim imagining her calling him Mr. Kissy Kissy Sweetie Sweetie, like a while back after she put a band-aid on him or whatever it was.
Author's Response:
Is it wrong that I still secretly fold the Mad Magazine covers when I go to my local pharmacy? I always have to do it surreptiously now (since I'm supposedly an adult) by hiding it inside an "O" magazine. Fact: I am the only woman on the planet who has never watched Oprah. I know, I know. I don't know how I live with myself.
I like that you're constantly trying to turn my fic into bad!fic. It's humbling to know that I'm always one step away from making Maybe Once dance the happy dance.
I just added 'honey' to the number of things that Jim and Pam can now call each other. Let me know if you have anymore requests.

Smokers get so many perks at work. They get to stand outside and slowly kill themselves for up to 15 minutes of every hour. It's really unfair to those of us who aren't polluting their bodies.
Kevin reminding people of the Marlboro man was great - except that I think he's selling tires rather than cigarettes.
Author's Response: Smokers rule the planet. As a non-smoker, I enviously watch them being paid to smoke! Now that they've instituted that 30 foot rule, smokers don't have to huddle by the doors like panhandlers. Now they all hang out at the picnic tables out in the sun (Remember sun? Neither do I.) discussing how to overthrow the universe. One day I will learn how to read lips and then, bwahahahaha, I'll learn their cosmic plan. I suspect it involves squirrels.
