I love this... He looked suddenly wary. “Don’t steal my idea, though. I’m calling the third day.” Very Kevin.
Where did Jim's coat go? YIKES!
Author's Response: Kevin is so much fun to write for, because he just sort of appears with these off-the-wall one-liners. I'm very pleased you caught a "Kevin" vibe off of that. And the mystery of Jim's coat will soon be solved...

And now perfect Angela voice. I love how this is shaping up. Fun drama!
Author's Response: Ooh, thanks! Angela is tooo much fun to write. I hope the rest lives up to your expectations!

Holy cow. So much happened in this chapter I can barely process it all. I mean, besides Angela being knocked up (!!!) you had Pam telling the camera man not to follow and Jim clearly loosing an important small present and Kevin being awesome and Kelly running off at the mouth and wow. You need to write more ensemble pieces. You've really got everyone's voice down pat.
Author's Response: It's been fun writing for all of them. Ensemble pieces are harder, though, and I'm very, very lazy. Hee. Yes, this was the "rising action" chapter, if I recall my literature class terminology correctly. And Kevin is always awesome- we're just lucky to capture part of it. Thank you!!

"Dwight followed, looking smug. “That’s right. I have single-handedly created new life for this office.”
What foreshadowing! And Kevin's "Three French breads" was a riot!
Author's Response:
Thank you! This story was so much fun to write- it got me into the Christmas spirit.

Excellent! An Angela's preggers AND Christmas fic. This is what I've been missing from the writers strike.
Author's Response: I'm happy to help fill in the gaps- although obviously this isn't as good as new episodes. Stupid strike. I hope you enjoy the rest! Thank you!

This story is too much fun. Like the way you're using in the Angela preggers situation - and her voice really comes through (love how when she impunes Pam's 'morality' , her response is a flat 'OK.' Ha!) I also like how you're using the TH's - in some fics, they seem superfluous to me. Beyond mimicking the show's format, I often find them redundant to the narrative/disruptive - but they work really well here, with the ensemble and as sort of a breather amidst the multiple interwoven stories. Three french breads...hee! (And can I admit, it made me recall Michaels, uh...dangling participle?)
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm having fun with it, for sure. I especially appreciate your feedback about the THs- I try to use them like the show does, for extra information on the narrative or just as a funny transition. It's hard to strike the balance, because they are fun to write, and it is easy to go overboard with them. I'm happy you think I'm doing OK! More to come soon...

Love, love, love this!
Author's Response: Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm having a great time writing it.

Three french breads??? LOVE THAT! So great (and so Kevin). Really love the Kelly/Pam exchange and always enjoy the Angela/Pam dynamic. So fun! Looking forward to the rest of the journey.
Author's Response: Thank you so much- and thanks again for the rec. I'm having fun playing in DM-land again. Jim and Pam will always be my favorites, but the others are so fun because you can make one or the other of them say absolutely anything. Nothing is out of bounds for at least one of these nutjobs! I'm glad you're enjoying this- thanks again!

Oh, I can't wait to see Pam's reaction when she finds her present in Jim's coat pocket!
Author's Response: Hey, now, no jumping ahead! Hee. Yes, fluffiness awaits. I hope it lives up to your expectations. Thank you!

Such a great premise here so far, lis! I love that you--among other authors--are exploring so many of the other characters these days! I mean, sure, we all love Jim & Pam, but c'mon! How much fun is it to write for Kelly? (answer: a LOT)
I especially like the voice you've given Darryl here. He's one of my favorite "minor" characters, and if you think about it, one of the few voices of sanity other than Jim & Pam in the entire office. I really liked the scene between Darryl & Pam, and of course how jealous Kelly got. :)
I look forward to more!
Author's Response: I enjoy the ensemble stuff, I just find it much harder to write! I'm glad it's coming across OK. Yes, Kelly is a hoot. I also like writing for Creed, in small doses (we'll see him in chapter 3). Darryl is fun because I know guys like that. It makes him easier to write for than I expected. Thank you for the specific comments, as usual!

Ohhh fun!!!! I really like this, and I've been waiting for a fic to introduce Angela Kinsey's real pregnancy into the storyline. Can't wait for more!! --CH
Author's Response: I have babies on the brain (and, um, in the womb) these days, so I'm not surprised this happened. Hee. Thank you so much- I'm glad you're enjoying it!

fremmch bread is yummy. and sorry if this is weird. i am litterally typing with one of my arms below my leg and i am quite twisted about. however, if i want to be comfortable, i have to clean and unpack, and i choose to do not tat
Eeek! Well, I think Angela Andy baby is less scary tan Dwangela baby, but even though Dawngela spawn may infact signal the end of the world, thats what I want. None of those Andy Angela crap!
YEAH, "pam had actually left he building" i totally heard "and elvis has left the busiding" in my head
i have an idea about what pam's present is and i like it.
and i guess you are goin to have to say i have to wait until tomorrow or something until the nexr chapter is posted. le sigh.
Author's Response: Sorry, yes. This is all I have written so far! I know what's coming next, if that makes you feel better. Thank you, as usual!
