Good god, woman -- how do you do it so consistently? This is just awesome -- love the Kelly and Pam interaction, and the awkwardness in the car is pitch perfect.
Looking forward to more of this!
Author's Response: Thank you, girl7, you are very kind. My secret is a dash of Tabasco, and just a sprinkle of cinnamon. ;)

*EH jumping up and down with glee*
Ok, first of all, I wasn't even going to check MTT just now, but I figured WTH, and whoa, Annabel has started a new story. And an early birthday present to boot? Can you see right now how excited I am?? It's like getting a teapot from Jim!
I love Kelly dolling Pam up for her big date. So funny. And it would be just like Jim to forget about Karen's CV left in the car.
I love how the awkwardness is already turning into something other than that.....
Will be smiling and waiting for the next chapter, sweetie! I'm sure you will write an interesting restaurant scene full of double meaning behind the spoken words. :)
Author's Response: Very early birthday present, EH, but it takes me a while to finish these things, so I thought I might as well get started now. I am so glad you liked it!

Well I already love this. Mostly because you wrote it so I KNOW it's going to be good (and hot!) and also because you just nail it every single time with their voices. And the part w/ Kelly doing Pam's make up? Perfection. I cannot wait for more!!
Author's Response: Thank you, kells8995. Yes, there will be steam. I am very flattered that you have such high expectations!

No bodyswap? Boo! :D
Aw, pretty Pam. Yes, I imagine she looks very much like she's having a good day. Such sweetness, and then...
‘I think my foot is on a copy of Karen’s CV.’
Ha! Loving this story so far. Looking forward to more slack-jawed and drooling!Jim. Yay.
Author's Response: Hee. Crunch. In a perfect world, she'd be wearing boots to do it, too. Thank you, Susan M!

I didn't even read it before I literally squealed at the prospect of something new from you. You did not disappoint. You put such a new fresh spin on things that people have done well, but you do even better. You are just so awesome. And I sound like such a dork, I'm sorry, but you rock!!!! Off to a great start again!
Author's Response: Thank you, downtown! I know there's not much new ground here, since this story has already been written so well so many times, but I've done my best to give it a new(ish) spin.

OK--first, at the risk of sounding totally pathetic, let me say, Annabel, how incredibly excited I was--like 4-year-old on Christmas excited--to see a new story by you. Especially near the end of a long Monday. Now that that's out of the way--this was great. “Oh, maybe something like, ‘Those pants fit you very well,’ and then I’d follow that up with, ‘I think my foot is on a copy of Karen’s CV.’” How flipping funny is that?! You can capture diaglogue like no other.
“I guess, but this is pretty dialed back,” he says. “This is my cool and indifferent face.” There's another fine example. Your style is just so completely in character, so realistic. Every word rings true. I know, I'm gushing, but I'm sincere. Truly can't wait for the rest.
Author's Response: I'm so flattered! More is on its way. I love to get these two talking, and I love it best when neither of them are exactly comfortable. I think the funnier stuff on the show comes out of that tiny sliver of tension. Thank you, NanReg!

I like this corner you've painted yourself into A LOT! When the chapter ended, I seriously said out loud THAT'S IT??? Please write another chapter and quick! This is fantastic. I could visualize the entire thing and it's EXACTLY how I would picture Jim and Pam interacting at that moment. You even got Kelly down perfectly without making her as over-the-top as she usually is! Can you tell how much I love this story? And it's only the first chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you, Abigail! I wanted them to get off to a rocky start, but for that to be okay. I'm so glad you liked it!
