Question: How in the world have I missed this?? Seriously? This is BRILLIANT. Of course, being both a history geek myself, as well as a dyed in the wool Blackadder fan, what else would you expect me to say? :) Okay...I have to go read the next couple of chapters. Excellent!
Author's Response: Yeah! Mutual appreciation society!!! It is kind of scary how perfect some of these characters fit with the actual Salem people. I am loving this historical deally-bob, so I might bust out some more in the same vein...be on the look out Mose!

Whoa! You surpised me... I thought there were only two chapters (okay, so I don't pay attention to little things like numbers), and so I was like whoa. And yeah...
I love how its Meredith Temperance :)
" he stank no more."
Haha!
I loved learning about the Salen Witch Trials, so yes, I am going to click on links... not usually a history nerd, but what can I say - hangings and torture, my cup of tea (scared of me yet?)
Author's Response: Ah yes, the links...expect them at the end of every chapter. I love authors who do links, because I'm a super visual person. Like Chesterfields and Lace, by pampongchamp. Who totally rules. Anyway, seeing how you like torture so much...how 'bout some in the next chapter!? haha

I love all the old time ness in this section. Its so fun to read! Not even with the words, but with the phrasing also!
I love how all the characters are still themselves, but ... Salemized. Did I just invent a new word? Well, I like it.
Author's Response: That's good, Salemized...I am going to keep that in mind. I'm working on the actual trial right now...so, yeah! Thanks for the review!

She twitched her nose? Whose the witchy one, now? This continues to be so much fun! The characterizations are fabulous- and Jan as "Desire"- nicely done.
Author's Response: Oh totally! I wrote that about Angela twitching her nose, and I thought, "Oh my god, I just made an inadvertent Bewitched reference in my Salem fic...yes!" There are some more fun names to come...just wait!

I was trying to say Scranton Witch Trials like Kelly (think Fashion show, fashion show at lunch), but it wasn't working. But that idea is what I was thinking! Yay!!!!
Although, I find it hard to believe Michael would pass up a wikipedia link, I am so willing to buy it!
Haha! I love that Pam accuses Angela of having a familiar!
Aww, Pam should watch The Office on Thursday nights. Okay, so my Thursday night viewing consists of TO and CSI... which will get very confusing when both are on at the same time next season!
:)
Author's Response: Yeah, somehow I doubt that Kelly would be very interested in witches....not fashionable enough. Except maybe Glenda the Good Witch. Thanks for reading!

Oh, so cute. Of course Kelly is our Tituba. And poor Widow Vance, Vance Cargo. Hilarious! Your Jim is pretty fancy, as the Governor. Not Assistant to the Governor? Hee. So funny!
Author's Response: Damnit! I didn't even think of making Jim assisstant to the gov.! There are too many characters as it is, but David Wallace should maybe have been one of them...good call :)

Ok as I started the second paragraph I thought ooo I really hope Creed is Giles Corey....and then I read further and he is!!!! This fic is giving me the best set of the giggles :-)
Author's Response: Mindy Kaling said that Creed is all of the writers' favorite character to write for...I totally understand why now. Nothing he does can possibly be too weird or surprising. Perfect for witchery!

Wonderful! I laughed out loud in amazement at your wonderful changes to the Angela/Meridith passage and the Kevin line. So, so good!
One little little error in the 2nd to last line; I think you need to switch 'be' and 'to'.
I look forward to beta-ing more chapters...
Did you ever think you'd end something with "he stank no more"? This is so much fun.
Author's Response:
A) Thank you! B) fixed it! C) Never in a million years! haha

Wonderful!! This description of Angela "Small in stature and severe in character" makes me think of the Valentine's Day episode where Pam refers to Dwight's girlfriend as "tightly wound" and Dwight gives a little grin.
Your characterizations are so good, and I know the next chapter's excellent!
So much fun! And how much do I love that Jim is the governor? Oh, so much.
Date: June 12, 2007 09:31 pm Title: Prologue
HAHAHA this is so cute! And funny, the names are brilliant! And wow Angela is going to be amazing! Having all that power accusation? Priceless! HEHEHE
Also I was born in Danvers, Mass (modern day Salem Village) and spent a greater part of last summer working for a history proffessor at Salem State while he wrote a book about the Trials, if you need any factual guidance. I'm not saying the story needs it, Im just offering my services in case your interested.
I'm really enjoying the story so far! Can't wait for more :-)
Author's Response: lol...I love that you're like an actual local...that's awesome! I've been to Salem twice so that really is what inspired this little folly. Thanks for the offer of advice...I may take you up on that!
Date: June 12, 2007 08:48 pm Title: Prologue
Ha! I love it. All your changes are excellent, and the whole bit at the end with Pam is wonderful. I especially like the last line. Fan-tastic.
I know Chapters 1 and 2 will be A-W-E clap clap S-O-M-E!
Author's Response: Thank you soooo much for the input as a great beta...your suggestions rock!

Awesome idea for a fic! I can't wait to see who the witches and warlocks are.....
Author's Response: Ah yes...I have fun little descriptions for each of the Dunder Mifflin accused...thanks for the review!
Date: June 12, 2007 05:03 pm Title: Prologue
Oh, sweet candied apples, I hope we will be traveling back in time in this fic! What a great premise, I am looking forward to the next installment!
Author's Response: yeah! I just did the happy clap because you said "sweet candied apples"; maybe I should have kept this fic for Halloween!...and yes, tessa mae, there will be time travel ;)
Date: June 12, 2007 03:56 pm Title: Prologue
Oh, this is going to be good. Or possibly the worst idea ever. Either way, it's going to be fun.
Author's Response:
Watch it buddy! You're the one who kills fan favorites! haha...hope you enjoy the rest of the fic, when I post it ;)

Oh, what a fun tone you're taking with this. I'm definitely looking forward to where Pam's dream takes us!
Author's Response: Yeah, the tone def. changes in the next chapter...which is goofy and to be posted asap!
Date: June 12, 2007 12:10 pm Title: Prologue
I like that Pam is also annoyed at Greys, heh.
Seriously, I love the start of this. Can't wait to see where her dream takes us.
Author's Response: Aw, thanks for the love! Grey's is crap, I swear. Stayed tuned to Scranton Witch Hunt though...there are no un-necessary trysts or stupid hookups to be had. Just lots of cranky Angela.
Date: June 12, 2007 12:00 pm Title: Prologue
I will put a hex on you if you don't update soon!!!!
(Witchy enough?)
Author's Response: 'Witchy woman..." haha, I was feeling ill this morning, weird...Glad you're excited about this!
