Author's Response: I just noticed that I hadn't responded to this review which I know you gave me forever ago, but I completely forgot about it. So thanks! ;)

Haha!I am still reading, but this was just to hilarious! So Kelly. I loved that OMG Brilliant Idea!
Author's Response: Thanks! I've been feeling insecure about this whole story lately, and I actually considered taking it down for awhile there, so this was especially nice to hear!

Oh, I love this one, OF COURSE!! A happy ending, Jim and Pam together, what could be better? I really like - "But reality is better. Full of the messy little details he never would've thought to include." Yay for a happy reality for Jim and Pam.
What's next for you, Azlin? We will see...
Author's Response: What's next? Well, I think I'll try my hand at something a little more substantial this time around. I have a couple of ideas percolating, so stay tuned and thanks again for all your support!

Okay, I had to guess that maybe the Gwen was Gwen Stefani, and maybe those were some of her lyrics. Luckily, Google confirmed. Some of us are really old, and don't even have VH1 to remain culturally aware.
I like how "cultural awareness" makes me think of "culturally explicit" (Diwali). Is that on purpose, or just my crazy brain?
I also like your reference to Toby, and Michael's completely unreasonable (IMO) distaste for all things Toby!
Author's Response: Count your lucky stars that you don't know this song b/c it's one of those songs that will drive you completely crazy before you can get it out of your head. Naturally, that's exactly the sort of song Michael loves best, so it's been stuck in my head since I wrote this. Oh the sacrifices I make for my writing... just kidding. Glad you liked it!

I really enjoyed reading these short character insights, and I liked the morning concept. My favorite chapters were the ones on Jan, Phyllis and Dwight. Looking forward to more from you.
Author's Response: Wow. What a sweet thing to say! Personally, I liked Jan's, Angela's and maybe Dwight's chapters best, but I keep changing my mind.

You don't like it much? I think the Phyllis chapter is great! (Keeps reading on)
Author's Response: I just had a really hard time getting it down to 100 words, and in the end I posted it more to get it out of my hair than because I thought it was great, so anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Awww, last line of that chapter made me smile too.
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I think this chapter's probably my favorite so far too.

Ooh, Ryan. I would actually like to see Ryan in PJs and bare feet. Happy thoughts. This is nice, especially the bright pink mugs and dish towels. Kelly does love her colors (pink the person, pink the color, basically anything that is awesome).
Thanks for the shout-out. I do rock. (Heehee.) I review so you all will be happy about writing. And write more.
Author's Response: Well, your reviews work so you should be proud! I know I keep saying this, but I really do appreciate them. Thanks again!

I really like this. It seems very "Jim" to me. I had to go back to double-check, but indeed - Pam, Karen, and Jim are all looking in the mirror.
Now, I will be watching. Roy is the only other one you may have look in the mirror. Otherwise, my sense of symmetry (for lack of a better word) is just shot. On to read the next one.
Author's Response:
Well, I'm sorry to shoot your sense of symmetry but I wasn't planning on a Roy chapter. In fact I only have one real chapter left which I will (hopefully) write and then post after work. Also there will be a Jammy epilogue (set in the future) because what's an office fic w/o some happy Jam?
Date: March 18, 2007 08:15 pm Title: Morning Patrol
What a great Future Dwight prank!! To cause Dwight to constantly be on guard, and to wonder what happened to Future Dwight, why didn't he report???? You have quite an imagination. I could never think up a good prank. This was as good as or better than the pranks on the show. It's ongoing, until Future Dwight eventually sends another fax. You should be proud.
Author's Response:
Thanks, I couldn't decide if Jim would really be this harsh. I mean if you think about it this is gonna haunt Dwight forever, but then I thought about how Jim was feeling right before coming back to Scranton, and how he tends to be a little meaner with his pranks when Pam's not around to balance him or to call him on it... so I think this is possible. Glad you liked it!

Isn't it nice that Phyllis found BVVR? This makes me think about the scene in Dwight's Speech (I think), where Phyllis talked about being depressed in the past and how happy she was now. Everyone should find their own BVVR.
Author's Response: I agree. And I'm very happy for Phyllis, but man was it hard for me to write her! Anyways, thanks for sticking with this story. It's nice to know someone's still reading it!

Sprinkles...*snicker*...nice.
Pray, Angela, pray.
I like this. Keep writing.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and there's definitely more on the way.

Hmm... I don't think we've had Jim yet... I will wait for the proper order (whatever that is).
Melissa had too much coffee at Jitterz; that's why she's even more talky.
I like this one. Stanley is always amazing.
Author's Response: Yes, yes, Jim is coming, but all in good time, my friend. Actually if you really want to know Jim's time is Sunday morning. That is, if I write both of the ones I've got planned for tomorrow in to post them when I was planning to.
Date: March 16, 2007 09:42 am Title: Or among your cattle
Wow. Perfect. Is this inspired by the kitten scene last night? Awesome.
Author's Response: Actually by strange coincidence I wrote this on Monday, I think, and then when I was watching that scene I was like NO WAY!! So the only thing I changed was the cat's name. Weird, huh?
Date: March 16, 2007 09:41 am Title: Sometimes she'd wake up and smile
Ooh. Yes, angsty and wonderful. The last line about her reflection feeling sorry for her? A-MAY-ZING! (/Kelly)
Of course you can still love the "Too Late, Kev!" scene! I've always thought they should have had the opposite scene this season - Pam, Jim and Karen at a table ("I like Dads. You know, soccer Dads, Little League Dads, widowed Dads...")... it would have had to have been before Traveling Salesmen, though, before Karen's Pam-dar was tripped.
That other scene you mentioned was great - "oh, yes, you need to step in and out of it like this to stress test it..."! And Jim's high-pitched Katy voice? There are so many awesome scenes. We can all love them all.
Author's Response: Thanks, I always feel a little more hesitant about the angsty ones for some reason, so it's good to know you liked it. And you're right there are so many good lines in every episode! I heart the office. (In case you couldn't already tell)
Date: March 15, 2007 08:13 pm Title: Sometimes she'd wake up and smile
You know, it really bothers me that so many people really hate Karen for the heinous crime of daring to date Jim while not being Pam. I'm glad that you portray her in a sympathetic light.
Author's Response: Yeah, I think it's easy to get caught up in bashing Karen, just because you love Jam, but for the most part I personally think she's a really cool girl that's stuck in a really sucky situation. Anyways, thank you for the review, I really appreciate your feedback!
Date: March 15, 2007 04:54 pm Title: Dearest, darling, dumpling-cakes
Awwww I love this! So cute how Michael would call her super early and be all romantic about how he can't be without her. And I love Jan smiling at the end :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun with this one.
Date: March 15, 2007 01:00 pm Title: Dearest, darling, dumpling-cakes
So perfectly Jan. I think just about every one of their phone conversations ends like this. Jan just says something then hangs up. You are doing a great job with these characters.
Author's Response: You should see the grin on my face right now! Remember when Jim comes back and Pam can't stop smiling. That's what reviews do to me. I'm so glad you like it. And since I'm in such a great mood I think I'll go ahead and post the next chapter now instead of waiting until I get home from work, like I'd been planning to do.

You get Kevin giggles for this one!!
Remember when Jim and Pam got 69 cups of noodles for Kevin? One of them said something like "it's kinda crass, but it is his favorite number". Good times, good times.
And what kind of brain do you have to come up with the 69th Day Party? You are such a Kev. I love that about you.
Date: March 15, 2007 12:55 pm Title: Eyeliner check
This one made me laugh! Ryan the BEST conversationalist! Is that like best nodder?
Thanks for the name change, Azlin!
Author's Response: You're welcome Too Late Kev! But it's still okay for me to love that line right? Because I think either that or the entire Jim/Pam as Dwight/Katy-purse-girl scene from the same episode are tied for my favorite office lines ever.
Date: March 15, 2007 06:07 am Title: close enough
I like this. Well done :) I had a little giggle at Kevin's "69th day party"....very cute :)
Author's Response: Aw thanks! I really appreciate your feedback, especially as this is my first foray into fanfiction and I'm really nervous about doing it something wrong. So, thank you!
Author's Response:
something wrong like not reading over my responses before I post them... *hides head in shame*
