oh god. this was so fierce. very funny and very well researched, there were also other amazing components. the fire was too orange! andy as town crier! big wigs! i think this is brilliant. it makes me wonder - can the cast be inserted anywhere else in history....? thanks for a lovely story.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! Where in the world did you find this story after so long?!

Heh - this was great. I love how everything turned out in Pam's dream, with Angela making amends and finding her place in society again, and I was amused by the reality once Pam woke up. Angela's sweater is awesome :D
Author's Response: I really think that Angela could possible mend her ways a bit, especially after the sorta-apology she made to Oscar when he came back. That's one of my fav scene's of hers. Thank you for reading!

Nice..but I noticed the severe lack of the word strumpet. Harlot, hussy, and trollop were noticed, but not strumpet. Just saying. ;)
I really liked the story.
Author's Response: Yes! that is such a good one too....thanks for the review and I'm so glad you liked it :)

Man, I'd pay big bucks to see that diary of Angela's!
Author's Response: Oh, who wouldn't!? There is some serious dish in there...today it would have the most recent Pampong score or something.

You really did great with all of the olden day speak, keeping it going through out the entire piece. These characters are perfect, too. Everyone was perfect!
Author's Response: Lol...I loves me ye olde tymes. Thank you for reading!

BRAVO!! *applause* *confetti!!* *fireworks*
Actually, since this was so Puritan-themed, perhaps my exuberance is not well-met. Perhaps a better way to celebrate would be as follows: *AHEM*
*Temperance* *Fortitude* *Forbearance* *Constancy* *Chastity*
Yes, I think that is much more appropriate. :)
This was FANTASTIC! And could there have been a better way to end this than with a scarlet A on Angela's sweater? Not hardly. Well done, my friend!
Take thee a bow, for thou hast surely earn'd it!
Author's Response: *curtsies deeply* Awww...that is incredibly kind of you Mose! Thanks so much for the support and reading all of my little fic. I can't wait to read more of your stories!
Date: June 16, 2007 12:48 pm Title: Trying Times
OH. MY. HEAD. I need to take a moment here and collect myself--I'm laughing that hard! "D.A.R.R.Y.L.?" "Black cloth that wasn't black enough?"
My sides are literally splitting here! WHEW! Okay...I'll be okay... until the next chapter, I'm sure... :)
Author's Response: Please give a round of applause to Muggins for D.A.R.R.Y.L....I wish I was that creative! I'm so glad you're laughing!

That cardigan - very Angela-y.
I loved this little wrap up. This was such a fun and different story! Go Witch Trials!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing each of these last chapters and recc'ing me on TWoP! Go Emily!
Date: June 16, 2007 11:04 am Title: Pride and Penitence
Hum, any deserve for a hankie is completely ruined by having to ask Dwight. No hankie for me.
Angela offered Pam a cat!!!
My slight dyslexia (apparently) made me read 1693 as 1963... and my first thought was - wow? wait, weren't the salem witch trials a lot longer ago... and then I was like, wow, I am really really really stupid...
So, yeah.
Author's Response:
Oh yeah, I forgot to add that all of the characters are in fact immortal and that they did live into the 20th cent., haha
Date: June 16, 2007 11:00 am Title: Trying Times
Oooh! So exciting to see loved ones on trial for witchcraft... now how much fun would it be to accuse some people today of witchcraft. I am sure that evil Libby deserves to be.... oooh, Kelsey. I hate her. She must be a witch also.
" And his produce was rarely firm. "
Wow, the crimes of witchcraft really strike everywhere don't they!
Well, Jan Levision does aspire to be a whore according to Angela... but, Michael... I mean, Judge Scott can't say nay to that woman.
Author's Response:
TooLateKev said that "his produce was rarely firm" sounded like a "That's what Gil said"....if only I could have included that in my story! lol
And yeah, after Jan's advice got "bigger" I knew there was no getting Michael away from that woman. Had to have that in the fic.
Date: June 14, 2007 06:26 pm Title: Guess Who's Coming to Supper
Heh, this story is very fun so far and I really am enjoying the historical references! I love how you've made the characters fit into this unusual setting - I especially love the dynamics between Michael, Dwight and Toby.
Author's Response: Yeah, you know, they're are just putty in my hands, haha. I did put some time into this and I am glad that it shows. I think I'm going put to something at the end of the epilogue that lists who's who in the story in reference to the real deal for all you history geeks :)
Date: June 14, 2007 10:35 am Title: Guess Who's Coming to Supper
I loved Big Wig.
Hmm. Who is Lady Halpert's old sweetheart? She and Rev. Dwight didn't seem to pay a lot of attention to each other, but that is who Angela is sweet on now. Hmmm.
Author's Response: Woohoo! I was none too sure about how you would take Big Wig...but I'm really glad that you liked it!
Date: June 14, 2007 10:14 am Title: Scrantonese Water Torture
Your changes are excellent! Master Cornell's print shop and lechery! The Andy part is my very favorite. And now we have James Halpert, Governor and Harvard man. Harvard - hast thou mayhap heard of this?
I was actually wondering about why Hathorne in your story wasn't Hawthorne...
Author's Response: Yeah, I mean, you've got to have Cornell in there somewhere...although I never had him sing a song or anything, hmmmm...
Date: June 14, 2007 09:56 am Title: Guess Who's Coming to Supper
Welp, it's official. I am obsessed with this story. I'm sure my boss sends her thanks for preventing me from doing my actual work.
And on that note, I can't wait for the trials to begin!
Author's Response: hahaha...I hooked ya, did I? Well, I am very flattered that you like my little fic so much...thank you for the kind review!
Date: June 14, 2007 07:35 am Title: Guess Who's Coming to Supper
"Take care not to be struck by their carriage!"
I love the little after comments that are announceed.
You brought up love contract! Wow!
And yea, that does look rather creeeeepy.
Author's Response:
See! And I had forgotten to make a new announcement for that chapter, so I added that one while I was posting the chapter...so glad you liked it!
As for the love contract...I just think that is one of the funniest things ever, and I love details, so I put it in. Michael and his verbal faux pas. hehe.
Date: June 14, 2007 07:29 am Title: Scrantonese Water Torture
Love the mistake of torture. Haha. Wow, that idea just makes me laugh!
I love how Judge Scott is afraid of Goody Scott.
Okay, actually, I know I mentioned it in my other review, but I love how all of it was Salemized. Its just so neat!
Rev. Dwight interrogating Tituba Kelly I am guessing would be a very interesting scene similar to Drug Testing. Wow, yeah, Drug Testing + Salem = hilarity.
Author's Response:
I had the chapter title, but no actual water torture, which my beta TooLateKev so graciously pointed out was kind of weird. So I added the stuff about how inept Michael and Dwight are, even if they really want to be good inquisitors.
yep! I wanted to making it Drug Testing part II...the early years, haha.
Date: June 14, 2007 06:03 am Title: Guess Who's Coming to Supper
Wow...those houses are creepy! And I like the balance you're striking here between the darkness of witch trials and the silliness inherent with these characters. The fact that the Michael would be happily munching on food while his "bewitching" wife labors in jail is both hilarious and sad, all at the same time. Excellent work!
Willst thou continue this fine tale?
Author's Response: Aye, sir, this finished! I just need to have the last chapter beta'd and they'll be up in a flash :) Thanks for the kind words!
Date: June 14, 2007 05:57 am Title: Scrantonese Water Torture
And here I thought that "Tobias" was a sly attempt to crossove, if ever so briefly, to Arrested Development! :D Hey, I am still loving this story. What an original concept! But then, I love crossover and alternate universe stories like this. (I have a friend named HalloweenJack138 at ff.net who writes stuff like this, and it's good as well.)
So yes, I am now off to read the next chapter! (Oh, and Michael Scott's ancestor going to Harvard? Brilliant. Probably the last member of the Scott family to attend college, but still...)
Date: June 13, 2007 07:17 pm Title: The Unusual Suspects
Due to the frivolity inherent in this tale, thou hast caused me to sombrero snort my libation all over myself.
Seriously, Hawthorne has nothing on you.
Continue, oh weaver of silly stories of days of yore, or whatever.
Author's Response: 'Tis high praise indeed! I shall henceforth been known as "she who is more fun than Hawthorne"...haha. Thanks for the review and look for more chapters in short order!

I just adore the names you've given them, all so perfectly matched! And Lady Pamela having to buy ham and cheese - and a jelly mould! Ha! You are so creative, this is great.
Author's Response: Yeah, the ham and cheese part was a late addition...but there just has to be a jello mold in every fic, or it just isn't Jim and Pam. Thanks for reading!
6 [Report This]Date: June 13, 2007 09:27 am Title: The Unusual Suspects
very interesting...it's been a while since I read "The Crucible". I like this version better, anyway. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response: yeah, I haven't read the Crucible in forever either...because it is boring. Although I quite enjoy Winona Ryder and Daniel Day Lewis. Good stuff. ....Be on the look out for more chapters v v soon!
Date: June 13, 2007 07:53 am Title: The Unusual Suspects
Male-hussy. That's officially my new favorite word. You are awesome! Yay history!
Author's Response: Yeah, I mean what else could I have called him...manwhore? himbo? he-lot instead of harlot? they just don't have that ring to 'em!
Date: June 13, 2007 07:49 am Title: We're not in Northeastern Pennsylvania anymore, Possum
You have totally nailed it, I had to suppress a grin the entire time I read this chapter (as I am at work at really shouldn't be sitting here reading fic). But the names! Kill-sin. Oh, my Lord, too amazing!
Welp, off to read Ch. 3!!
Author's Response: Glad I could make your workday a little funnier :) More to come v v soon!
Date: June 13, 2007 07:29 am Title: The Unusual Suspects
"Angela deeply detested Goody Scott; purposely trodding through the mud so she could raise her skirts above her clog-clad feet, the harlot."
Oxygen! I'm gonna need some oxygen over here!! BAHAHAHAA!! That line was cast in awesomeness, fired in the furnace of brillance, and tempered in the cool waters of hilarity. :)
And Meredith "Temperance"...well, that was the extra gravy on the potatoes, now wasn't it?
Love it!
Author's Response: You're too kind! The next part will be up in a day or so....so, stick around mon ami!
Date: June 13, 2007 07:25 am Title: We're not in Northeastern Pennsylvania anymore, Possum
Snicker....Angela Chastity Putnam...snort...Widow Vance...guffaw. This is like a breath of fresh air around here! Oh, and I forgot to mention in my first review how glad I am that you mentioned witches being hung instead of burned at the stake. People perpetuate the stake-burning thing because it's more exciting, but we know that of the 19 witches executed during the trials, all were either hung or stoned to death. (wow. way to bring a light and cheery tone to this review, Mose!)
Anyway, I am loving this so far. Authentic, period-sounding dialogue and characters, and really, really funny. On to the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I wasn't sure how this was going to go over, but I thought it was pretty damn funny, and I guess a few other people do too! And I, too, am a stickler for accuracy in my fic. Although a burning or two would be kind of exciting. Eh.
