This is so much fun so far! I love that undercurrent of naughtiness.
Author's Response: Naughty saturated Jim and Pam. Nothing more fun than that. ;)

Yay. I love the Oscar/mayonnaise part. I forgot to say that. And Kevin with the beaver eating. Whoo hoo!
Author's Response:
That was actually the first thing I wrote. I was struggling as to how to introduce the mockaritas and tjought Oscar Mexican Cinco de Mayo - mayonnaise. And there you have it.
The beaver eating was all for you.
Wait. That sounds...kinda...bizarre to say the least. Not to mention a tad inappropriate.
HA! You know what I mean. LOL!

This story is totally fun...perfect end of summer distraction. And thank god someone got Jim wet...too much dry Jim in these stories, that's what I say!
Author's Response:
Yay! I'm glad you like it.
ITA. More. Wet. Jim.

This is a fun story so far. And Dwight is as overzealous as I would expect him to be!
Author's Response: Ah Dwight. Overzelous indeed. Thanks MA!

Very funny! The voices are all very well done, and you manage the blend of the banal, the absurd, the sublime, and the angsty-romantic-flirtation that the actual series does so well.
Author's Response: Thanks so much ngllisi! I can't ask for much more than that in a review.

I'm really excited about this fic - it's off to a great start. Yay for ensemble fics, my attention span doesn't allow for writing them, heh.
Author's Response: I've had some cameos once or twice but this is my first ensemble foray. I'm afraid - so expect lots of Jim (and Pam) to get me through it. I don't think many will complain in any event. ;)

This is fantastic! You've definitely got the voices and the pacing down...can't wait to see what kind of ridiculous-ness ensues :)
Author's Response: thanks yippee! (And yes I'm quite sure there will be ridiculousness.)

Outstanding first chapter, and I see the potential for hilarious shananigans (spel?). I think I remember something about Jim near a pool in the JK thread on TWoP... Dwight as a lifeguard? Oh, yeah!
Author's Response:
There's a fabulous Jim in a pool story but I'm afraid this isn't it.
That is not to say there's not the potential for some - as has been mentioned - WetShirtlessJim - but it's not that type of story.
Unfortunately. LOL! ;)

I was reading this and eating at the same time. I was about to take a huge bite of my hot dog when I read this:
"Dwight walks back into the office dressed for the task at hand. Orange Speedo, white t-shirt with the word Lifeguard in bright orange letters."
Ugh. LOL.
Lesson to me: never eat while reading this story. LOL!
Author's Response:
Oh the horrors of that particular bathing suit. Believe me - other than the inital shock - I hear most people survive the mental image.
Just make sure to eat after you read from now on. :)

AWESOME. I hope you continue!
Author's Response: Don't worry. It won't be over until I've got Jim and Pam wading in the pool. Stay tuned. :)

Hee! You have their voices down! I can especially hear Jim saying this: "Kelly's already suffering from heatstroke. At least that's what she's been saying. Every. Two. Minutes."
Author's Response:
I'm really glad to hear it. I'm certainly trying my best!

Oh, I love this. I know what you mean about being nervous about ensemble pieces, but this is terrific. You've got everyone's voice down here. And I can't wait for the actual pool party.
Author's Response: I'm glad because it's really giving me fits. But in a "excited, hope I can pull this off way." Not the "straightjaacket, needs to be sedated way." :)

Awesome beginning - I'm looking forward to much splashing - some WetJim - ShirtlessJim, even - so, you know, if you could work those in...I think Pam nees to see that, too ;)
Author's Response:
Hmmm. ShirtlessWetJim? I'll see what I can do.
