Ooh this is interesting. I have to admit (to my embarassment) that it's taken me several times re-reading things to fully understand what you mean, but I'm loving it it nontheless. Seriously, kind of feel a little smarter with each chapter. LOL. I am having a hard time distinguishing some of the characters. At first I thought Aethelinda was Angela (don't as me why, lol) but now with the Ki-wren I'm guessing Karen.
Also, I was amused to no end with the "Big Trout" joke in the previous chapter. It took me a moment, then I connected it. Andy-Jim-Big Trout -- duh,me. LOL.
Okay, I'm back to reading. Also, I would love a copy of the original chapter from Jim's perspective. Please? Pretty please?

I really like this story. It's very well done. I am in awe that you are so good with making this story sound as if it really took place back in the middle ages. How did you do that, if I may ask? Did you read a lot of King Arthur? This is wonderful, and I am impressed.
I would also love the "Jim" chapter if you would be so kind.

Author's Response: My real life job is. or that is used to be (I recently got promoted to a management position), writing reviews of new publications in the Medieval History field. So I read a lot of stuff.

aww! that last line is so sweet! i love how you've managed to bring in so many characters, and hold on to their personalities at least a little. this is really great fic! good job!
Author's Response: I'm fighting tooth and nail to keep some semblence of their personality. The one I'm dreading is Michael Scott. Honestly, he wouldn't have made it to adulthood in Medieval England... I'm going to have to make him super-rich and possibly mentally retarded to make it all jive. But at least I have a couple more chapters before I have to introduce him....

Is Anne the servant taking the food to Dwide Schruude? Whoever she's taking it to, she was pleased... hm. I'm intrigued.
I loved this line:
The connection between prayer at the Shrine of the Saint and a dessert of Damson plums was a difficult one to find, but they were willing to believe it be there.
You mean then, not than in the following line. I'm going to write something soon, and you're going to painstakingly search my stuff for errors, aren't you?
For all things are interconnected and if the monk's prayer had not happened than surely the plums would neither.
I love the line about Stanley not liking Aethelinda, and how he brings attention to Pam instead. In your face, Ki-wren!
The last line is so adorable. I love how James, son of Halpert has a soft spot (TWSS, but in a bad way!) for Philomena.
What are his intentions toward the fair lady? Could he please, please get her to run away with him? That Roy's a much bigger jerk than our Roy. I'd bet his beard is scruffy, too. He probably never bathes. Philomena, get thee to James' side!
Author's Response: I mix up 'than' and 'then' all the time when I'm typing fast. Thank you for catching that! All guys in the Middle Ages were bigger jerks comparatively. New age, enlightened guys would have been skewered by their mothers at birth.

I LOVE this story! You do such a good job of interweaving the themes of the show with the Middle Ages language and plot.
Author's Response: Thank you! It's really fun! I can't wait to get to the tournament!!
