This is fantastic! I literally laughed out loud at the free wifi sign, the coffee names are all brilliant, and the idea of Dwight being their one regular customer who brings in his own beet juice supply is hilarious. I also loved the Michael cough from the back room. And the chemistry between Jim and Pam is so good - I really liked the line about Pam wanting to hold onto the conversation with both hands. And Pam comparing him to a pine tree with a messy hair cut, lol. I can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Thank you! There may be more silliness like the sign and the coffee names, because if I can't experiment with that in a coffeeshop AU where can I? So I'm glad you liked that!

Welcome back friend! Wonderful to see a new story from you.

This is starting out great. Pam's already done with Roy so we don't have to go through that. Though I get a feeling the details will probably come out in the telling. Do kinda feel for her that she has to start out fresh again from her parents home. Been there, done that, do not recommend. Hopefully she'll get back on her feet soon.

The coffee shop sounds like a ton of fun. If Micheal hadn't gone into paper this sounds just like how he would set things up in any other business. The drink names are all great. Something tells me that the drink Pam just made up is going to end up on the board too.

Can't wait to see where this one takes us.

Author's Response: Thank you warrior! It's good to be back. I have some plans for that drink and the board--but we're at least a chapter out from that ;).

This fandom is actually remarkably short on coffeeshop AUs, come to think of it.

"It looked like the word 'Free' had been crossed out, and then written in again in big block handwriting, then crossed out again and written in again" is a fantastic detail - feels like that tells you an awful lot about the running of Comedy Roasters right there.

Pam may not appreciate the puns, but *I* do. Or at least I did until the Schrute on Sight was described. Dear Lord, Dwight.

As always, you've done really well capturing their voices and their chemistry. I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops, and happy to see you writing again!

Author's Response:

Right? I was looking for them, and yet...

Thank you so much for the kind words (you're probably sick of me responding to reviews about now...) and I'm glad you liked the details with the sign.

I'm so glad that you're back!
I still haven't formed my opinion about Coffeeshop AUs, but I'm 100% here for AUs with Pam swooning over Jim, so...
(I doubt that Pam can have her work done adequately with such a distraction around, but I guess we'll find it out in the following chapters...)

Author's Response: Thank you! I expect you're right about Pam's work ethic ;). And coffeeshop AUs are not entirely my thing, but I wanted to try so here we are....

Ahh the illustrious Comfect. I've hear mention of you - even read a recent one-off you posted. See I came on in September and you were even mentioned in a review I received:

http://mtt.just-once.net/fanfiction/reviews.php?chapid=16444&type=ST&item=5875

BAsed on that I could imagine your writing was funny and entertaining and the stuff I would enjoy but as I mentioned I came on in Sept and had a lot of catching up to do of old fics and like you mentioned, there's been a lot to keep up with that's come out since then. Anyway, I read the one-off you put out recently but nothing else of yours...until now.

I'm already having a blast, kinda imaging a Sam Malone type Jim behind the Cheers vibed coffee bar and totally digging your premise.

Now as a graphic designer myself I cringed at the Papyrus and threw up a little in my mouth at the Comic Sans- however it does seem very fitting in that it's Michael's place. (although I think he is rather creative - loved what he did in the local ad).

All in all this was very fun, you really do a fantastic job setting the scene and describing the action. Can't wait for more. 

Anyway, I'm glad you are back so I can get to know you and your writing.  

 

 

 



Author's Response: Wow, it's weird to realize I've been gone from this site long enough to feel old. But here we are! Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you're getting the same vibes I am from Jim. I intentionally made the font choices blech, because well, Michael, but I promise they'll be improved later in the fic ;). Michael is good at using others' skills, like Pam's in Local Ad, but he needs that push....Thanks for reading!
