Aww. Poor Jan. Poor Michael. I really do think that she loves him though, and you've managed to make that come across in this chapter. Great writing! I especially love this line:
A little Labradoodle-ish without his shirt on.
So true, and yet, I still find him sexy. Apparently Jan does too.
Author's Response: Yeah, I was re-watching for the thousandth time "The 40-Year Old Virgin", and so that image of Steve/Michael was burned into my brain. Yeah, I honestly don't understand Jan...like at all, but I figure she has to be conflicted, and is obviously not good at expressing her feelings....in words. Thanks for the review firthgal.

Loved it! Vengeful Karen is just as fun as vengeful Kelly! Hee, wonderful song choices.
Author's Response: There were definitely a lot of ways to go with Karen, and I'll probably do a "Karen II" anyway, but I figured it would be good to show a little Vengeful!Karen. She deserves it. And thanks for the compliment about the song choices, I picked ones that most people would know (I hope). Thanks for the review firthgal.
Date: September 17, 2007 11:32 am Title: Toby II
Aww, great pieces for Toby! Toby 1 was so hopeful yet depressing at the same time, which captures Toby beautifully. I could hear his voice and hesitancy so clearly in my head. And Toby 2 was great! Yay, happy Toby! It's always great when he gets to play with Michael's head.
Author's Response: I love everything that Toby chooses to be, he's one of my favorite characters on the show. So, I wanted to get both sides of him, and I'm glad that you got that. I empathize with the complete hopelessness of his situation with Pam. Thanks for the review firthgal.

Haha, yes!!! I love vengeful Kelly. So perfect. Now she can go and have more multiple orgasms with Andy. And I mean that in a totally non pervy way...
Author's Response: Ha, of course in a non-pervy way.....I hope to see Snarky!Kelly in Season 4....it's one of my dreams....like living in a world where someone can tell a hilarious AIDS joke. Thanks for the review firthgal.
Date: September 17, 2007 11:24 am Title: Creed
Ha! Oh, this one was good. I love that last line, so very Creed.
Author's Response: I'm glad that you liked it. Creed is kind of a challenge considering he's always acts odd. Thanks for the review firthgal.
Date: September 17, 2007 05:54 am Title: Kevin
lol! I love Kevin drunk! That'd be sooo funny.
Author's Response: I think it would be. If him singing "You Oughta Know" from ABC is any indication. Thanks for the review Snoznoodle.
Date: September 17, 2007 05:42 am Title: Jim
lol. Awesome.
Author's Response: Thank you very much for the review Snoznoodle.
Date: September 16, 2007 09:06 am Title: Kevin
LOL! Excellent.
Author's Response: Thank you! And thanks for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 09:05 am Title: Jan
Aww. Just admit your feelings, Jan! It's not the worst thing in the world to love Michael Scott! Okay, maybe it's the weirdest, but not the worst.
Author's Response: Yeah, weird definitely. But Jan is pretty weird, who knows what happened with Gould? Thanks for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 09:04 am Title: Jim II
LOL! Oh, Jim. Such a mushy drunk.
Author's Response: Writing Jim like I did in the first one is fun, but I really like the idea that hes like Pam and is sort of the emotional/hugging kind of drunk. Thanks for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 09:04 am Title: Karen
Hee. The only one I know is You Oughta Know, but I got the point. Good for you, Karen.
Author's Response: Yeah, I tried to pick 3 songs of which everyone would probably know one. "You Oughta Know" is definitely the most well known. I wanted to put in Janis Joplin's "Take Another Piece of My Heart" but it was too long for 55 words. Thanks for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 09:03 am Title: Toby II
Fabulous. Simply fabulous. I know Toby has that in him--I just know it!
Author's Response: I figure you get a little Bombay Sapphire into Toby, and he's good for a prank. HR be damned. Thanks for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 09:02 am Title: Toby I
No, Toby! Don't do it!
Author's Response: I don't think he's got a choice. I do wonder what Pam would have said if he had asked her, especially if he had played it off as "friends" or something. Probably, would have still been a no. Anyway, thanks for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 09:01 am Title: Stanley
Ha! Yes, absolutely, Kelly. Get your revenge!
Author's Response: I think Ryan is in for it when the season starts. Between Kelly and Michael....he's in trouble. Thanks for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 08:59 am Title: Creed
Creed. Creed Creed Creed Creed Creed Creed Creeeeeed. Such a character. I suspect he's almost always chemically altered in some way, but, dang, it makes for good entertainment.
Author's Response: He does. I racked my mind to try to show a difference between Drunk!Creed and normal Creed....and got pretty much nothing. Other then maybe he wouldn't put vodka in his pea soup. So there you go. Thanks for the review invis.

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha!
Author's Response: It's either laugh or cry, right? I'm glad that chose the former, and that you left me a review, invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 08:58 am Title: Andy
LOL--oh, Andy Bernard. I love you so.
Author's Response: I love Andy Bernard as well. Hope to see more of him in Season 4. Thanks for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 08:58 am Title: Michael
OMG! That was brilliant.
Author's Response: Haha, I'm glad that you liked it. Thank you for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 08:57 am Title: Angela
Ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, a little creepy, but totally worth it.
Author's Response: Yeah, its not as creepy as Dwight's at least. Angela represses a lot, I think. Thanks for the review invis.
Date: September 16, 2007 05:05 am Title: Kevin
In 55 words or less, you've managed to capture the tone of these characters. This chapter by far had me laughing out loud so much so that my husband had to ask me what was wrong. He thought I was choking. Excellent work. I look forward to more.
Author's Response: Haha, well I'm glad that you liked it and found it funny. 55 words is definitely a challenge to get the characters right, but it's a lot of fun to try. Thanks for the great review PamWannaBe.
Date: September 15, 2007 09:50 pm Title: Karen
Awesome song choices!
Author's Response: I'm really glad that you thought so. I struggled to pick ones that made sense/people would get. I figured most people would know that first 2, and Orgy's cover of "Blue Monday" fit well enough to just use it. Thanks for your review JennInTheCity.
Date: September 15, 2007 08:13 pm Title: Jim II
I never thought of big spoon/little spoon - so freaking adorable! Their banter here is so cute. You're doing a great job coming up with different vignettes for each one.
Author's Response: Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun writing them as well. I'm not sure how many I'll do, but we'll see. Thanks for the review kaystar.
Date: September 15, 2007 08:03 pm Title: Karen
Thanks for the links. I knew the words to "My Immortal" but didn't know the lyrics of the other 2. They were all perfect for Karen to play - and it's now easy to see why they left. I'd heard 'You Oughta Know" many times but never realized what she was saying! Wow.
Author's Response: Yeah, "You Oughta Know" has some pretty intense lyrics. So it works well in the context of this chapter. I had a whole bunch of songs, but I decided to go with 3 that were more well-known. Thanks for the review kaystar.
Date: September 15, 2007 07:33 pm Title: Kevin
AAHH! The chocolate river!!! Too funny!
Author's Response: Dawesome! I know, I had a whole different ending which just involved Kevin and Jim. Because it's kinda hard to have too many people in 55 words, but as soon as I typed chocolate, I knew Andy Bernard had to be involved somehow. In retrospect, maybe I should have had him sing the last line. Oh well. Thanks for the review lisahoo.

hmmm.... blended m&ms.... hmm... with the cover on, and some ice cream (not alcohol) in it.... sounds like it could be yummy...
Author's Response: I agree. Though I'm not sure if it would be too soupy. Hm....I might have to go conduct an experiment. Thanks for the review EmilyHalpert.
