Haha, I love this. Jim gave the ring to the hobbit. The problem is, Dwight is so easy to convince that this is the only logical option. He doesn't seem to get that he's always being tricked!
Author's Response: The fact that Dwight believes this guy could be a Hobbit just opens the door for all kinds of nonsense. Once he believed that, there was nothing Jim couldn't say to him. What a dope.

Have you sent these in to anyone? These are amazing! You capture the spirit and humor of the show and its characters so effortlessly. Please keep writing!!!
Author's Response: Wow! Thank you! Generally, they want to see full scripts... and I have to get an agent and the whole nine... I'll try it again one day. But for now, I write these little morsels. Thanks so much, I'm glad you like!

Ha. Very nice, and quite timely. You can write part two to this after the series. Nice job, and spot on characterization, as usual.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I was just thinking about if I should write a follow-up after the series is over. Honestly, I probably won't, 'cause I don't want to belabor the premise but you never know. Thanks again!

Author's Response: Aw, thanks! I hope they don't either. I have no plans to quit... I guess as long as the show is on I'll write them. Thanks again!

You hit such a perfect nuanced feel of these characters in your stuff - I can absolutely hear them saying the dialogue. Awesome. (I laughed out loud at Pam cheering for the Phillies.)

Go Phils! Very cute, kev,and funny, too. Nice to include Mr. Wallace and Pam!
Author's Response: Thanks Nan! Yeah, they don't interact that much. They did in one of my favorite scenes of last season, in Golden Ticket when Michael and Dwight are arguing and David Wallace is losing his mind in the conference room. And he tells Pam to stop taking notes, which is hilarious 'cause Pam has been writing all of this insanity down... lol.. Watching David Wallace almost lose it in that scene always makes me laugh... lol.. thanks Nan!

Two Cold Opens in one week! You're on a roll. And they're both really good too. Murder, She Suggested first. (absolutely awesome title, btw, I have a soft spot for that show, stupid as it was, because for some reason it was always on re-runs in the afternoon when I was sick and staying home from school. Weird.)
The relationship between Michael and Pam has always been so interesting to me, and I can't wait to see where the show takes it from here. Your CO was very take on the whole Helene thing. I love how Michael is trying to make it better, and wants to reconnect with the other half of his "best friend" -couple and can't help but put his foot in. So very Michael. I can almost see Steve and Jenna playing your scene, and I think they'd be fantastic.
The TH is perfection! Pam channels Dwight. That's kind of scary. And also very, very funny.
Now, I have to admit that chapter 70 is a bit less accessible to me, because I don't even know what sport they're talking about (not American, me). BUT I can still enjoy it, because the sport itself is "just" a way to set the stage, right? The interaction between the three men is the real point, no? And it's so in character and funny. Michael is clueless and trying to hard, Jim is amused and... Jim while David Wallace is a little lost. Loved Pam's cute little go Phillies, too.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! That was very in depth and I really appreciate that. I knew I was taking a bit of a chance by sneaking a sport into a C/O (baseball, in this case) but you are right. The sports references are just an excuse to see three different personalities go at it. It's so fun to come up with a story and just practically sit back and watch it write itself. The characters are so well defined. As you may or may not know, The Yankees are (well, I'm sure you know this) are in New York and the Phillies are in, well, Philadelphia. So that's a perfect leaping off point. Plus I saw "The Job" the other day and David and Jim had a funny little thing about the Knicks and the Sixers in basketball. So that helped to set this up.
And thank you about "Murder, She Suggested". I like that title too, for some reason. Anytime I can play off of something else, I will. I was just saying on the Life In The Office.com forums to a friend of mine that, I think, by the time this dating Pam's mom thing ends, Michael and Pam will be even closer. I think this is, obviously, doomed to fail but I think Pam's mom will hurt Michael. She is in an emotional freefall from her divorce and seeing her ex husband with a young hottie less than half her age but something will click, I imagine and she'll move on from Michael. She's the one that's rebounding and that doesn't bode well for this relationship. I think by the end Pam will actually feel sorry for Michael. I like their relationship, too. It's brother/sister, mother/son, boss/employee all rolled into one complex dynamic.
Thanks again for taking the time to write. Yeah, two C/O's in one week.. wow, what's come over me? : )
Date: October 26, 2009 09:24 am Title: Murder, She Suggested
(Is it wrong that when I connected that the episode in two weeks is called Murder, that I hoped you wrote it?) I can't blame Pam a bit for her reactions - surely she could use the insanity plea. Well done again.
Author's Response: Wait, what? Are you serious? I had no idea an episode called Murder was coming up! Oh, that's strange. And I wish you were right that I wrote it, Jazzy! Boy, I wish you were right! Thanks!

Give it up for Chapter 69!!! ::wild applause:: Kev, I loved this! So in character. I could immediately hear all of their voices (along with the other voices in my head). Awesome : D
Author's Response: LOL.. thanks Nan! I actually wanted to include the number 69 in the title for whatever story I wrote in this slot. I had that idea awhile back. But, I REALLY decided against that when I hit upon the subject for this one... lol...

Is it wrong to find a conversation about cannibalism super cute and heart-warming? I don't care, all I need to know that it put the biggest, happiest smile on my face.
Your Jim and Pam really are Jim and Pam (I hope that makes sense...) and Michael is perfect also. Intrusive and weird, but at the same time so affectionate and well-meaning that you can't help but love him.
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, I think underneath it all MIchael is really sweet but completely inept at showing it. I'm glad that came across. Thanks again!
