I always love fics that give the secondary or tertiary characters more of a role, and I don't think I've seen many with Gil - at least not with Gil doing something positive. (In some ways I think Business School really works with this - that Gil seems like far more of a jerk than you've envisioned, but he's a figure who keeps popping up to redirect Jim and Pam to where they need to be.)
This exchange tells you a lot without having to go on and on - and I especially liked Gil stepping lightly around the details of his own life. Tells you a lot about his relationship with Oscar.
Are you still writing for other fandoms, or have you left the fanfic world behind sometime in the last, you know, decade or so?
Author's Response:
I loved doing these little bits with the Office supporting characters -- without all the canon and expectations, I could really play around. And I also enjoyed paring away at my original drafts until I found the heart of the story.
I haven't written for any other fandoms, except a little bit of a thing I wrote for Schitt's Creek that was just post-long. I enjoy writing, but it was a different time in my life.
And I appreciate your reviews, and have loved re-reading these stories! I haven't revisited them in so long!

hehehe...oh yes, very nice...
Author's Response: Thanks! I was so excited to see Gil in A Benihana Christmas. He's my secret gay boyfriend, now that I wrote this story.

This is awesome. I have a deep love for fic that shows how people on the outside perceive Jim and Pam. Also, not even Gil can resist the Halpert Hair. Ha!
Author's Response:
It's true!!! Everyone loves the Halpert Hair!
Thanks for reviewing!

This was great characterization for a character we know so little about - great job :)
Author's Response: Thanks! It's fun to work with someone we know almost nothing about.

This was great - I love Gil's fascination with Jim's hair and his sage advice of “People aren’t always what they seem.”
Author's Response: Thanks! You should read the linked story - he helps out Dwight in that one.

Oh..this was terrific...I love that we know the truth but Jim doesn't.
Author's Response: Thanks! There are so many secrets on The Office, aren't there? I hope we get lots more Oscar and Gil next season!

Gil, the precious fixer of straight boy problems! I really like this.
Author's Response: Yes, more Gil! Talk to Ryan next!

Yay for Gil! I'm glad he has a fixation on Jim's hair (don't we all ;)) & that he gives some great advice.
Author's Response: Thanks! We all need a Gil to point us the right way, don't we?

I LOVE THIS. Plain and simple. Fantastic.
Author's Response: Thanks! I enjoyed channeling our JimHair fixation through Gil.

"Gil chooses his words carefully; he’s not going to have that fight with Oscar again." Nice insight. Love this moment!
Author's Response: Thanks! I've got this whole fanwank going that Gil is out at work and with his family, but Oscar is not.
