Dwight should leave pranking to Jim -- Confirmed.
Angela described as a 5 star General tactician is brilliant.

“Omigod! AN-GEL-A!!” Kelly giggles. “You totally just slipped me the tongue!”
This is winningly hilarious.

OMG, and I thought you'd have the two couples switched but still boy-girl. So hilarious! I was laughing the whole way through. "I am not your monkey!"
Great job!
Author's Response:
Thank you s_t_r! (great screename btw) This was written as a challenge to write something somewhat slashy. It's slash in the vaguest of terms but I still think it works on some level. Thanks so much for reading. You are spoiling me with the reviews today!!!

Oh my God! This was just gah (Look what you've reduced me to).
This killed me at the end:
What’s more - he’s gone and betrayed the one person to whom he’s pledged his undying loyalty.
Michael can’t ever find out about this.
And as always Kelly is hilarious. And you're hilarious. Even though I saw everything coming a mile away, when I got there it was 10 times more amazing than it looked like from that original distance.
Ahem. Now that I've completely ruined any semblance of composure I once had, I shall excuse myself quietly.
Author's Response:
Wow! I've reduced you to "gah!" I think I can retire now. ;)
This was a fun little side trip and the only time I've written a fic without Jim and Pam (save for the itty bitty reference of Pam by Kelly). It's really not easy for me but I enjoy the challenge.
So, so glad you liked it. :) Thanks again!

Characterization here was spot. on. I loved it. There's nothing greater that well-written fic that adds on brilliant humor and adorableness where the half-hour cut couldn't fit it in :)
Author's Response: Awww thanks Lizzie!! I'm so glad you liked it.

HA! This was too fun. What a wonderful twist on the classic story. I love Kelly's reaction to Angela's kiss. And Dwight trying to cover up the reason for his mistake. And this: there’s not enough sugarless gum in the world to wash the taste of sin from her mouth.
Author's Response:
Thank you!! I just kept trying to think of how I could possibly pull this off. The idea of Angela put in this situation was just good to pass up.
So glad you enjoyed it!

You got so many good lines in here. The characterization was really what I would have imagined: Kelly so pleased to have kissed Angela, Angela thinking she is a sinner for it, Ryan feeling that kissing Dwight is one more thing about D-M that he must forget (it takes someone like Angela to appreciate Dwight...), and Dwight feeling bad for unintentionally hitting on Michael's crush.
Author's Response: Thanks Gen!!! It was nice (and more fun than I imagined) to write for different voices for a change.

“Omigod who? Is it Pam…?” Bwah! Awesome. And I love Angela and her non-sin erasing sugar-free gum. Well done!
Author's Response: Hee!! Thanks Paper Jam! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

Just realized I hadn't reviewed this. What a funny premise, great dialogue...especially loved the Kelly stuff. And best line: confirmng nothing but the fact that they were just a pole dance away from a porn career. I could just hear the thought forming in Angela's mind. So, congrats on your maiden slash voyage...low key on the slash, high key on the humor. Which is the right balance for me!

And there you have it. That's me in a nutshell. LOL!
Thanks so much for the review, colette. I'm glad I took the trip...but like even the best of vacations...it's always good to be home. ;)

How cute! Each of their reactions to what happened was so spot-on, I especially loved Kelly's!
Author's Response: Thanks kaystar!! Kelly's so much fun to write!

I am not usually a slash kind of girl... but this was fabulous. I particularly, for some reason, really loved your Angela. I could just picture her clutching desperately ast her cross, and then chewing fiercely on multiple pieces of gum.
In conclusion - best slash ever! Funny, a tiny bit of steam, and a lot of vagueness for the reader to interpret whatever way they want! Hooray.
Author's Response:
Hey monkeybear! I know you're new around these parts - but I'm not a slash kind of girl either. And that was the whole point of this - to test the waters (for me -in a humorous way) as a kind of experiment. It was a fun challenge to take on (I kind of can't resist a good challenge) and I'm really glad you liked the result.
Thanks so much for the review - and WELCOME!

Way to meet the challenge hugs! This was so clever and in character. Your Dwight voice is scary good. ;)
Author's Response:
Thanks pennylane!!
And I don't know if I should be flattered that you just told me I sound like Dwight. ;)

Ha! This is fantastic. It is funny, a little bit spicy, and perfectly in-character. It totally fits into the moods of all four characters in the Diwali episode, too. Beautifully done- challenge met!
Author's Response: Thanks Lis!! Glad you liked it!

Ok, does it count as slash if the participants were under false impressions? Either way, I loved this. I'm just not so sure you've paid your debt..... :) I realize it's slash in the vaguest of terms - but Kelly surely wasn't complaining... Regardless I'm glad you liked it!!

Oh.My.God, hugs. This was freaking brilliant! My shoulders were shaking through the whole thing, so perfectly in character, so many great lines:
"Tiffany doesn’t understand why she’s suddenly the Post Office and, more important, why these losers don’t just text message each other. Grown ups are weird, her sister is such a freaking pain, and there is no way this guy she’s so into looks anything like Zach Braff."
"He knew there was something about the way she looked at him, like there was no other person on this earth. Something about the way she smiled at him, like he was the most fascinating person she’d ever known. It was a rare thing – to find something like that – and despite his protests there was something to be said for things that were rare. " -- And there it is: the essence of the Ryan/Kelly attraction - so simple, but dead on.
"'I…' Ryan sputters as he shoves him forcefully away “…am not your ‘monkey’.” It would be so like Ryan to react in that way - utter mortification that he still manages to articulate.
"'I most certainly did not.' Angela clutches the gold cross at her neck, already silently seeking absolution." Ohhh, Angela. This killed me - along with the line about there not being enough gum in the world to wash away the sin. Priceless.
I would definitely say you have risen to - nay, surpassed - the challenge!
Author's Response:
Hee!! Thanks girl7. I'm so glad you liked it.
More than writing slash - I found it was challenging to attempt to write something without a hint of "jam". Even my ensemble pieces are more than at little Jim&Pam centric. I'm glad I took the little sidetrip. :)
Date: January 01, 2007 12:04 pm Title: Lord, what fools these mortals be...
This was hilarious! And this?
Michael can’t ever find out about this.
Oh, man... perfect!
Author's Response: Thanks LL! I figured if I was gonna do it - I'd have to make it funny. I'm glad you think I've succeeded.

You should be proud, Agent XOXOXO. Funny with just the right amount of ambiguity. Congrats!

THANK YOU!! and c'mon. There was no way I was going to pass this up. You made an offer far too good to refuse!!
I'm really glad I made the attempt. It was definitely fun!
