OMG yay! That last review made me so happy that it's a little ridiculous. I LOVE the thought of them reading and writing, and I love that Pam's kind of okay with all the "harsh" things that you've alluded to in earlier chapters. I said this before but I just love this idea and I love the story and the dialogue you found a way to mix in!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words. I think Pam would have to be a little okay with them afters stopping to think things through.

Oh my god... I'm so insanely in love with this story. I can't believe it's ending so soon. You're an amazing writer :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I'm glad you like the story.

I just realized I've never reviewed this. I love this story. It's such a great idea! and you've executed it very well. I can't wait to read their chapter together... yay
Author's Response: Thanks so much. I'm glad you like it.

Yes! FNB for the win :)
Author's Response: Exactly...except maybe the F could also stand for Frustrated.

To clarify, I've just really enjoyed how creative and well-written both this and your "eponymous" stories are. And I'd love to read more!
Author's Response: Thanks again, HE. I've got a few ideas up my sleeve. My goal is to finish the two I've started first :)

I can't tell who knows what anymore, but I still like it.
Author's Response: Thanks deerinthepark, hopefully that will be answered soon for you.

hahaha I love that last one! I laughed out loud. so good.
And the mention of SquirrelMcPants. haha.
Author's Response: Glad it made you smile. Thanks for your review.

I REALLY like EVERYTHING you write.
Author's Response: Thanks! I haven't written much, but I'm glad you like it.

Well, Miffy is a bit of a bitca, ain't s/he? Someone's bitter that someone else got more reviews... Although I have to admit I was amused that they were having this whole conversation out in the reviews! Highly unusual, but I could see why they couldn't help themselves :)
Also, hehe, I loved the little Squirrel reference. That story's everywhere! :)
Author's Response:
Thanks Semby--
I thought about having them email each other, but that seemed too confusing. Great stories should be everywhere!Date: April 23, 2007 04:14 pm Title: Chapter 9
Aw, this is so sweet :) Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response:
Thanks Janelle--
I hope the next updates don't let you down.

This chapter did not suck, by the way, and although I think I got what's going on here for the most part, I like that I'm still a bit confused. Keep on keepin on.
Author's Response:
Thanks Teresa--
i'm glad you like that you are confused. I know where the story is going to end up and I wanted to make sure one of the characters didn't figure things out too quickly.
Date: April 23, 2007 03:44 pm Title: Chapter 9
Really cute. Unlike "Miffy" I really loved reading the back and forth ;)
Author's Response: Thanks comiskey. Glad you liked it.
Date: April 23, 2007 03:12 pm Title: Chapter 2
Okay, so I too, avoided this story for some reason. Now I regret it. Almost. The only good thing about it is that now I have nine chapters to catch up on, but I can't believe how quickly I was taken in.
But I have to admit, I wasn't paying close attention to the names, until I got some sneaking suspicions, then went back. I actually said, "Ha," out loud when I noticed something interesting. This story delights. On to the next chapter. And I'm sure I'll be back soon.
Author's Response: Teresa--I'm glad you gave it a chance. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Date: April 23, 2007 03:05 pm Title: Chapter 9
Ha, this chapter definitely did not suck! In fact, I think it might have been my favourite so far (something to do with alll the ALMOST DIRECT interaction between Jim and Pam? That's right!). I can't believe they were actually telling each other that! It seems like they really have no idea who the other is. But... but maybe there's still suspicion. Of course, if I were Jim and I suspected it was Pam, I would stop believing that as soon as I saw how open she was being, heh. I LOVED this, in case you haven't got the message yet!
You write so dead on and with such emotion that you could really be Jim (LOL).
Hahahahaha. I imagine her laughter would be a little bitter and hopeful at the same time. Hehehe. Sorry, this just cracked me up. Well, as always, I eagerly, eagerly await your updates. This is such a fantastic story!
Author's Response:
Thanks Benny...I LOL'd at your saying that Jim wouldn't believe it was Pam because she was being open. I hadn't even thought of that.
Hope you continue to like where this is going.

“He wanted to call her one hundred times a day. He wanted to tell her about all the new people he had met and how THIS office was so different from Scranton. He wanted to talk about email forwards he STILL got from Michael and the latest episode of LOST. He wanted to tell her how there was a hair in his chicken McNuggets and how his landlady called him “Cap’n” for some weird reason. More than all of that, though, he wanted to tell her that he missed her. He wanted to tell her again that he loved her. He wanted to make things right. But he couldn’t because he was stubborn, because she had made her wishes clear and because all of this was his fault. So every night, as he laid in the darkness, he whispered everything in his heart into his pillow, hoping that would somehow help him move on. It didn’t.”
I love that also!!!!!!
And I really ave thought a lot about Karen and Jim and oh everything the past month. The hiatus got to me and I debated those way to much!
:):):)

This is such a unique story. I read the first chapter and thought I wouldn't like it, but I jsut now caught up on it and it is slowly becoming a favorite! can't wait until the next update!! oh and I loved that last line:
I'm just trying to call it like I see it…..on t.v
Author's Response:
Thanks Beth--
Hope you like upcoming updates! I was worried about that last line because the addition of ...on tv might be something someone would SAY....I wasn't sure they would type it when they could be more careful with their words.
Date: April 19, 2007 07:44 pm Title: Chapter 8
Wow. They just keep getting better.
Date: April 19, 2007 07:43 pm Title: Chapter 8
Of course Pam didn't get in touch with him. OF COURSE. But does she know that he knows who she is? And if she does, then she would know who HE is. Why are they stuck in this perpetual paralysis around each other? Why are they both so scared? Okay, too many questions, but this story really makes me think! The characterisation is great, by the way, because I honestly believe what's going on here.
To have him not write about Casino Night is also very well characterised. Both have shown an extreme reluctance to even think about that night (this is part of their problem), so good stuff. I look forward to updates of this story more than any other, because it's just so compelling!
Author's Response: Thanks Benny. RE: CasinoNight. I figured if they never even mentioned it to each other, Jim would never write about it either. Glad yo ucontinue to like this.
Date: April 19, 2007 04:33 pm Title: Chapter 7
So he knows! And even if she doesn't respond to him, he's still going to suspect it (especially with Creed now joining the group of people in on it). Ooh, you know what would be perfect? If NeckWatcher posted her own story (which, obviously, we don't have to see, but Jim could mention he'd seen and it could... I don't know, drive them forward a bit more)! Ah, I don't know. I reckon you've got it all figured out without my comments, heh. And of course she was the one who figured out it was an April Fool's joke. Excellent. Well, update whenever you can because, as you know, I love this story!
Date: April 19, 2007 01:53 pm Title: Chapter 7
Wow, I wasn't sure how I would feel about reading through all of these fictional reviews and not getting to read an actual story, but after only the first or second chapter, I was hooked! LOL Everytime I see a new reviewer, I think, "Okay, who does this sound like? It could be Kevin leaving that review... or Toby..." Fun stuff! :) I really love this story. And the way you worked in OM's suspicions about NW was really great. I'm interested to see where you go with this, as well as seeing what OM's reviewers thought.
On a sidenote: Way to be original with this. I don't think I've ever seen a fic consisting of completely made-up reviews. :D Nice!
Best part of chapter 7: Four Toes going, "How did I miss this?" ROFLMAO Seriously? You just made day.
Oh, speaking of favorite parts: LoathedOne from chapter 6 was a nice touch. It made me smile... and feel bad for LO at the same time. LOL
Date: April 19, 2007 04:29 am Title: Chapter 7
WHOA! An Office Orgy. And doing something with a stapler. And Squirrels.
Haha! Bad!Fic! Aww, I think there could be some fun with that!
I think the world is squirrel crazy! I really need to know someone else in RL when I say Squirrel McPants they get it.
Date: April 18, 2007 08:36 pm Title: Chapter 7
Hee.
Oh, I'm enjoying this too much.
*giggles*
And NO ONE wants their bosses to find out about their...*ahem* fic-habits.
THANKS!!
cheers.

Author's Response: Glad you are writing it. and you are right.......no bosses allowed!

FourToes = Creed
God, do I ever shut up?
Funny April Fool's Day joke. ;D

MotherHen = Phyllis
LoathedOne = Toby
OMG I LOVE HOW YOU PUT THEM IN. =]]]
Author's Response: Thanks Tasha. Glad you figured it out.
Date: April 18, 2007 04:50 pm Title: Chapter 6
I'm a little turned off by how "OfficeManager" is responding to Jim's_Office_Chair now - seems a little catty, while a more mature thing to do when a reviewer frustrates you is to just not respond at all. However, you have given me no reason to believe OfficeManager is supposed to be perfect, so I can forgive him for being human.
I'm still enjoying the interactions with NeckWatcher, and interested in those new reviewers showing up! I wonder if everyone from DM will eventually be reading (or, people who strongly resemble DM people, if I'm totally off track in my suspicions)
Author's Response: AFter reading through it a couple of times, I see how the comment to little Office Chair could come off as a little catty. It was meant to be exasperated and a little bit that OM didn't know quite what to say to her anymore. As I said below, I think I can make it up to her in the next chapter. Thanks for continuing to read. I think it would be interesting to see what exactly is going on at DM....if indeed these are all DM people.
