This was such a fun read! Almost as good as watching an episode. I enjoyed reading about Jim and Pam being sweet together and actually working together to help Dwight for a change, and of course Michael being Michael. I loved the little Ryan cameo, and of course, every detail of the party planning and the actual party. The ending was just perfect.
Thank you for writing and sharing this story with us!

oh its so good! it could have been an actual episode its so good:)
Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much. Script-fic is pretty rare around here, but I thought I'd take a crack at it. I'm glad that you liked it, and thanks so much for reviewing ninrutgib.

WOW you are amazing. this was freaking hilarious! "what about your liver?" made me laugh. "What? Get you an easel with your name engraved on it? Oh, uh, yeah, I did." dear jim halpert, please marry me. (but not really because pam would be waysad) "It’s not even real coal." toby i'm sorry! but that's totally something michael would do.
seriously i can't even explain how awesome this was. it could definitely be a real episode, which makes me really happy because i miss the office tons :[
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad that you liked those lines...I was a little worried about making the last act too smaltzy, but then I remembered that I like smaltzy. Also, thank you especially for your kind words on characterizations, that was really important for me, and the fact that you felt it was "real" really is awesome. Thanks for the great review Sunday.

I love this, this is so adorable! And thank you for having Dwight and Angela get back together. Dwangela is so much better than ... Anela ... or ... Angdy?
Author's Response: I'm terribly sorry I haven't responded to this review until now, it got lost in the shuffle apparently. I'm glad that you liked my story, it was the first one that I've ever done in this format, and I know its not a particularly popular one. I really appreciate your kind words, support, and review WeAreBorgg.

Aww, happy endings for everyone (except Toby)! If the WGA strike isn't over in time for The Office to give us a Christmas episode, I'm counting this as the official Office Xmas '07 episode. Very funny and cute throughout. :)
Author's Response: I couldn't give Toby a happy Christmas, it just wouldn't have been right. I definitely hope that we get to see the Christmas episode, even if its next April. Thanks for the review Semby.

Toby and the coal!!! YES!
So much of this was so much like how I would expect the characters to speak and behave I can hardly stand it. Nicely done, DfromG!
Author's Response: I'm really glad that you found the characters to be "in-character" as it were. I was worried a little that Dwight might seem a little off considering he's never shown that side of himself too much. But, I think given Jim's help, and his love for Angela, seeing an emotional side of him, one that it truly sorry, was realistic (I hope). I'm glad that you like the Tag, it just seemed appropriate after two straight warm and cuddly couple moments to end with Toby being alone. Thanks for the review lisahoo.

OMG, how did I miss this when you posted?!?! dundiefromgod brought back Christmas!!! Yay! I was worried that the AMPTP had totally canceled it! Now at least I have the script that might one day be filmed (in my imagination...)
Author's Response: Nothing goes together better than fluff and Christmas, so I had to, especially with The Office's being cancelled (and New Years too). I'm glad that you liked the story/script lisahoo, and thanks for the review.

I loved your story so much I had to register just to comment. You were spot on with the characters and had so many funny little lines! I really laughed out loud .
Author's Response: Welcome to MTT membership-hood! I'm glad that you liked the characterizations and the humor, those were the two things I tried hardest to get right. Thanks for the review biadiva.

Best. Christmas. Ever.
I really enjoyed that, it felt like a real episode. Well done!

Awwwww, Poor Toby! *hugs*
This was so great. Just like watching a real episode (well, reading a real episode). Wonderfully IC, lovely length. I loved your Kelly in this and your Creed moment was awesome. Well done.
Author's Response: I'm glad that you liked the Kelly and Creed in this story. I think that every character (except Jan) had a line in the story. Both in writing and in watching, I like the ensemble pieces the best, so I tried to include some of those. Thanks for your kind words, and the review Hotdog Fingers.

It’s not even real coal.
What a sad/funny way to end it!! I sincerely hope that this years christmas ep is half as good as yours!! And seeing as how we're going to be without any new eps soon, I'm going to store this as "what happened in s4 chrimstas" in my brain b/c we may never get to see it this season. Lovely lovely job!!! Great.
Author's Response: I'm glad that you liked the Tag. I debated between that one, and one that showed Dwight up on a ladder on the roof putting the Star of Bethlehem up, and Jim trying to convince him that he was going to kill himself. But...I think I picked the right one. I know ,this strike is really unfortunate, and I hope that we get to see their Christmas episode, I don't care if it's in March, May, or July. It's The Office, I'm going to watch it. Thanks for the review WildBerryJam.

Okay, dundiefromgod, here's my challenge for you (should you choose to accept it). From now until this godforsaken WGA strike ends, you are to write a script for "The Office" and post it on MTT promptly at 9:00 on Thursdays, because your writing is the best example I've found thus far that captures the humor, wit, and emotion behind our favorite show. I laughed aloud so many times in reading this story, and it makes me hope against hopes that you're actually Justin Spitzer and you posted this, the real 2007 Xmas episode script, just for us since you knew the strike might keep it from airing.
But you know what, even if you're not Mr. Spitzer, you are twelve kinds of awesome in your own right. I got goosebumps on the rooftop scene, the tag was pure gold, and this made my day: "I celebrate Kwanzaa every year [beat] it’s my way of sticking it to Whitey. He controls everything, music, auto repair, soup, Mexico [beat] everything. So that’s why every Kwanzaa I make love to a beautiful African goddess named Lisa."
Bravo, bravo! I can't wait to read more of your work in the future! -CH
Author's Response: Wow, what a nice review. I have to say that I am not Justin Spitzer, no matter how much I want to be. As for your challenge, all I can say is that if I had the time, I absolutely would. This was the first time I wrote a script-based fic and I enjoyed it a lot, and hope to do another one in the future. Thank you very much Becky215, for your kind words and review, I've read everything you've posted here on MTT, so it means a lot.

this is excellent - the way you have written it and have the characters so spot on, it really does seem like an episode. i can picture every action, beat, smile, and line.
and i was cracking up at the whole andy/jim/the closer part. excellent job, i love this so far.
Author's Response: I'm glad that you can envision the pacing of the lines and the story in general. I can hear and see it, but I'm really happy that is coming through to the reader as well. I'm glad that you liked the Andy/Jim bit, I liked the idea of Andy bragging about something, and then forgetting that Jim knew that he was lying. Thanks for the review waltisafox.

The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the end of this story. You're doing a great job with the character, dialog and script format. Me thinks you should get a Dundie for this one or, at the very least, some Schrute Bucks.
Author's Response: I could really use an extra five minutes of lunch, so I would definitely appreciate the Schrute bucks. I'm glad that you liked the script format (or at least could read it), I've never written in that style before. Thanks for the review House Calls.

Just read this whole thing, thoroughly enjoyed it. I like it-I mean what's not to like? Everything is clicking-you have all the voices down, even the rhythim and the pacing. And there are pletny of laughs. Great stuff.
Author's Response: I appreciate your kind words. I've never written a script-based story before so I just try to think of my ideas like an episode, and go with it. I'm glad that you've liked it so far, thanks for reading and reviewing brokenloon.

I'm loving the characterizations in this story. The script format is always a little tough for me to read, but that's probably just me. I like the Dwim subplot, especially when Dwight opened up to Jim about Angela and asked for help. It was a nice follow up to the stairwell scene. Looking foward to more.
Author's Response: I'm really glad that you like the characterizations in the story, because that is what it is all about. Yeah, the script format can be a little tricky to follow, I've tried to make it clear, but especially during TH it gets a little busy. I'm glad that you liked the Dwim subplot, I really like when they work together. Thanks for the review EverybodyHurts.

No you can't end a chapter with "Do me a favor?" Please update soon.

Author's Response: That's very kind of you. The whole idea, basically in my opinion, is that you can see this actually happening, so I'm thrilled that you've been able to. Thanks for the review House Calls.

This is so amazingly awesome so far! I want to see this as a real episode. I love how Michael was actually kind of clever and managed to completely manipulate Ryan into doing what he wanted. And I can hardly express my love for the Jim and Dwight storyline!
Author's Response: Yes, I was a little worried about making Michael too smart there, but I think showing that it was pretty much Pam's idea mitigates that some. Plus, he has flashes of competence anyway. The Jim and Dwight storyline will hopefully be a lot of fun, because I think it will show a genuine side of Jim, that we might not see too much. Anyway, thanks for the review Semby.

I want Greg Daniels to buy the rights of what you're writing from you and turn it into the holiday episode this year. That's how ridiculously RIGHT ON you have these characters AND the potential story. Amazing.
