That was good. Michael Scott has completely broken down the fourth wall. I'm about to go to fanfiction, look up his story and leave him a review.

Haha-

I am dead. RIP.

This was not quite what I had in mind, but instead is way better.

I give this exactly a week before corporate blocks access to fanfiction.net on the Dunder Mifflin network, at which point Michael accidentally discovers MTT.

“I don’t get it.”
“It sounds stupid.”
“Sounds like it’s for nerds.”
“And losers.”
“And idiots.”
“And morons.”
“And dorks.”
“And--”
Rude, Alyson. Simply rude. Fair, but rude. Also, Michael having to explain what shipping was is perfect. Michael as a My Immortal fan is genius. So true to form. Also also also this is hilarious.

"They like making Jim different things, I’ve found.” Too true.

Ah, more meta-fictional Jim. He should've known better than to get in the way of true love! Terrible things happen in fanfic to people who do that!

"It’s no Threat Level Midnight, but it’ll do." Too true, Michael. Too true.

This has become my favorite tradition too, please start working on next year's now.

There’s little better than a good impromptu bullpen presentation, and this is no disappointment, especially with Michael and his pointer stick! I can absolutely see him grabbing Pam’s monitor— and subsequently pulling out the cords too! Please tell me they will be getting a carpet steam cleaner again… I would not sit on that floor of chili carpet… maaaybe roll my desk chair over!

I love his enthusiasm so. Damn. Much. And yes… we do love alternate Jim’s. I do love him as the English teacher, the farmer, and the mafia guy. And beardy billionaire CEO guy. Anyways… I love Michael’s fanfic SO MUCH. It completely captures his annoyance and frustration with Jim telling him he couldn’t possibly love Holly and to just be friends first in canon! I agree, Threat Level Midnight is definitely his greatest work, but for a lunch hour post, it’s not bad! I’d give him a jellybean!! Thanks for this fun little story! Made me smile and laugh! Great idea!

This is one of my biggest fears (office cast members discovering this corner of the world) and one of my biggest joys (your April Fools Fic Tradition) combined and you know what? I love it so freaking much.

You’re a genius, plain and simple. I was dying at all of the nicknames Michael had for Jim and Pam. I literally laughed out loud at everyone sitting crisscross applesauce on a carpet that still smelled like chili. It’s so good. I’m laughing all over again.

“They like making Jim different things, I’ve found.” LOL Aly! How dare you. But also, it’s true. We do.

Michael’s fanfic - just… yes. All of it. Tongues and all.

Thank you for continuing this tradition! TEAM ALY!!!

Please never ever stop this tradition. Also, I feel honored to know that Michael has read one of my fics.
