I'm still reading, but I have to stop and express my delight with a Stan-nis Baratheon joke! I'd never think of Stanley this way, and now I can't stop thinking about it and other parallels between GoT and The Office (though, outside the office, Stanley is definitely more Robert than Stannis...)
Thank you!
Author's Response: Thank you! I don't think he's actually a good Stannis--but then, Michael isn't that great at his parallels is he?

Dwight is a delightful background character in these first few chapters!
Oh Pam, don't get mad at Jim. I mean, your fiance sucks anyways, we all know it's true.
Michael's sweater - is it bad that I want one? Because I do. It sounds amazing.
Author's Response: Dwight-as-background is a lot of fun to write. And Michael-as-Michael too. Though fortunately the genre of the Hallmark movie meant that they could do their work and then I didn't have to sustain them too long...

Your Michael voice is superb. I love how this feels Hallmark-y and yet very, very Office-y at once. Poor early-season Jim. Roy was a trial Pam had to endure, but watching it was torture for Jim. You’ve captured that while still being so funny— loving this!
Author's Response: Michael is fun to write in small bursts like here, but I'm always worried I'll mess him up so I'm glad to hear that from you. The Hallmark-Office vibe was surprisingly easy to hit; they have a lot in common.

Interesting take on why Jim and Pam might get mad at each other here. Very realistic too. You've got everyone in character nicely too.
Author's Response: Thanks! This was the chapter I was most concerned about because I was bringing in multiple other characters and worried about the in-character nature of the interaction, so I appreciate hearing this.
