I hope this doesn't come off spammy! But I am in love with the story you wrote, 'Not a Word'. My best friends and co-hosts, Lynds, Danny and I have been reading through it and love this premise. Plus, we're huge Office fans. :)
We are the hosts of Fangasm (previously Potterotica), a comedy podcast where we read erotic pop culture fan fiction. We initially read Harry Potter fanfic, but are branching out into other fandoms! We would love to if we could possibly feature your story / read your story (giving you cred of course) on our podcast (we always get the authors permission)!
We've been featured on the HuffPo, Buzzfeed, MTV, Bustle, NY Magazine - The Cut, etc. (with 3M+ downloads since we launched two years ago!). Clearly, the aim of the podcast is to be humorous, playful, and fun-as-hell—always teasing the characters, never you as the author.
Here's the to the podcast website, so you can check it out -- fangasmpodcast[dot]com
Let me know what you think! You can also email me back at if you prefer. hi[at]fangasmpodcast[dot]com or hi[at]potteroticapodcast[dot]com
Thanks so much! Can't wait to hear back :)

Ok, seriously. I wasn't going to review until the end, but holy crap. I need a break from reading this or I'm going to go crazy.
This is, hands down, the hottest thing I've ever read in my whole. entire. LIFE. I... damn.

I loved it though!

This is expertly written smut fanfic. Thank you for it. Very engaging read.
Author's Response: Wow. Thank you so much. I'm thrilled you liked it. I was hoping to bring it in for a conclusion before the premiere, but I am swamped with work right now...

I only really get to read at work. It's ok... I won't get canned( I hope). And I AM enjoying it... I think. It's a sweet torture, reading about two woman (especially Pam) that I am attracted to having FANTASTICALLY DESCRIPTIVE sex. Sigh. Don't ever change, Shass... if this isn't somebody's cup of tea then they should move on. I'm digging it. (GOD, that Pam is HOT in these stories... Jesus...). And really, it is very well written. Underneath any surface currents that people might have gotten caught in is a story about the characters we love-and a very good one at that. Love it. I still hate you, though. : )
Author's Response: Okay, I can live with that...he-heh. See, this is the thing: I'm a 40-year-old mother and wife, happily married for ten+ years and there's no way that someone would guess what goes on in my mind by just looking at me, or even getting to know fairly well, for that matter. And I guess that that has sort of been my point in this story. When you feel safe, and loved, yeah, the floodgates have a way of bursting open....The whole still waters thing...although, I'm not exactly how still mine are though...there's always that laugh of mine that makes people think that maybe I'm a couple of cards shy of a full deck...

I..... haven't even finished this yet. I had to stop. Sitting here at work with my mouth hanging open and my hand TRYING it's damndest to slide underneath my desk is not the image I need to project right now. When Karen got on her knees... Holy God. I said to myself "No. This is NOT going where I think it is..." I hate you. I just want you to know. I HATE YOU. Now, excuse me but I have to finish reading this and then retire to the men's room..
Author's Response: Dude, you should KNOW better than to be reading this shit at WORK! What are you THINKING?! Look, it's bad enough that my usually overactive imagination has gone into overdrive and ditched the steering wheel doing 140 on the turnpike in rush-hour traffic, but I don't want to be held responsible for getting your ass run over and fired. I shall henceforth post more descriptive warnings in the notes, okay? And, I'm really glad that you're...um...enjoying it?

I like where this is going. It's a great segue way chapter. I can't wait to see where you take this. Ooh, I can almost smell the angst!
Author's Response: I'm starting to understand that I need to soften the pace a bit. I'm not gonna go back and try to tone it down, 'cause I think the damage has already been done, but people's wheels are threatening to come off, here, and we don't want a pile-up.

Just read it again. I find that I need to read each chapter more than once since I usually discover a thing or two that I missed the first time in my excitement of discovering a new installment : ) I have to say that I'm relieved that Pam is feeling anxious and that Jim is discovering that he has a puritanical side yet still can't fight his animalistic side. Really interested in where this is going, as I have been from the start. The disappearance of the candle is quite an angsty little turn.
Author's Response: Hi Nan! I really appreciative how thoughtful and consistent your comments have been. I'm always really pleased to see what you think....I've said before that this story may not be in keeping with the characters as written, but I still want to remain true to human nature. Believability is always an issue in fiction and I don't think anyone goes through this kind of stuff without some sort of second thoughts and recrimination.

Another excellent, tense chapter, Shass. You are so good at balancing from one to the next. I love that they're mulling over events and feeling uncomfortable. I am too! I hope the next installment is soon!
Date: September 17, 2007 07:51 pm Title: The Sound of Silence
I hope me saying that it was filthy did not make you think I didn't like it, I just wasn't expecting that.....you are an excellent writer!!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much, and no, I was just a little...uh...I don't know. It's kind of weird when stuff like this comes out, you know? You don't want people to think you're a total freak, but at the same time, writing is about letting the mind sort of wander freely. And, sometimes, the mind ventures into the red light district...
Date: September 17, 2007 05:49 pm Title: The Sweet Sound of Revenge...
Ahem..um..oh boy! That was definitely taking this series in another direction! Nicely written though.
Author's Response: I have to say, writing this has sort of been like trying to drive a car with no steering wheel at 100mph down a commuter highway at 5:30pm on a weekday.rnrnThanks so much for commenting. It does keep me on the road.
Date: September 17, 2007 12:25 pm Title: The Sweet Sound of Revenge...
OH MY.....that was...um....filthy (LOL)
Author's Response: Yup. Thanks for commenting! *runs off to hide in embarrassment*

I'm afraid I'll out myself as a skeevy little perv if I say how much I liked the latest chapter. While it was certainly "out there" I think you managed to keep them all true to character. We've seen Pam be bossy ("Pay attention to Dwight's presentation!") so add in a little liquor and I can believe she'd get her freak on. I also liked how you ended it.
Things will certainly be interesting the next time all 3 of them are at work together, that's for sure.
Author's Response: I have to tell you that part of me was peeking through my fingers like I was at a horror movie when I was writing this...I was afraid that I had gone too far, I mean, Good Lord, what was I thinking?! But then, yeah, booze has a way of removing inhibition and *ahem* lubricating things...rn
rnAnd I don't really know if *ALL* of us have an inner skeevy little perv? But it has now been confirmed for me that I, in, absolutely do.rn
rnHaw.

HOLY SHITE, SHASS!!! I think this chapter was written by your evil twin! I don't even want to think about how you come up with this stuff : ) I was squirming (for various reasons). I can't even imagine what's next...but I can't wait ; )
Author's Response: Yeah, things with hubby have been a lot more...fun...lately...This has been a healthy outlet for me...Like the saying goes, "it don't matter where you get your appetite, it only matters where you eat your dinner."

I just read the whole story and it was terrific!!! WOW!!!
Author's Response: So glad you liked it! It's about as guilty as my pleasure ever gets, I think...Thanks so much for taking the time to review. The encouragement means a lot.
