This was great fun. The characters felt spot-on and the dialogue was great.
And this is 100% what would happen if Dwight got stuck in a wall.
Author's Response: Thanks, Sam! Glad you enjoyed it... and appreciate you taking the time to read and review!

I read this chapter, snort-laughed while in class and on camera, and decided I should read the rest at a less critical time. This was uproariously funny. The image of Dwight handling a sales call as though this were just another day at the office is just perfect.
Author's Response: A snort laugh! This is the greatest honor I have ever received. I am proud to have disrupted your education. Also, thank you.

Ok - what I didn't realized when I saw this at work was that it was chapters - plural, so an extra special treat...so here's what brought me joy in the first one -
The Concept - how did this not become an A Plot or a B plot or at least a cold open. Well in some ways glad it didn't so you could do it. TWSS
Busting in with a classic disclaimer - lot of fun there.
OK this description was spot on - all-smiles JIM and PAM, a concerned PHYLLIS, a confused-even-for-him KEVIN and a mentally-updating-his-resume OSCAR.
And of course Michael thinks the guys downstairs have a chainsaw (wait, don't they?) but the way Darryl responds I can just see it.
And Angela's line -well done. More reviewing to come after I start on dinner...
Author's Response: Re: The Concept - I actually came to see how this card got left on the table in the course of writing this. Like, there's a point at which you can no longer suspend disbelief that no one would do anything about this. Even for an office this crazy, it's just not quite real enough. (Then again, remember when Dwight gave Stanley a heart attack and suffered zero consequences?)
This disclaimer may well be my favorite yet.
I'm glad you thought Angela played... she's important there, and I felt like I was a step or two to the side of where I wanted to be on her talking heads.

I think I need to reread without the Negroni I had after dinner tonight :D
Author's Response: I mean, if this fic can't be enjoyed after a Negroni, what's even the point???

I love your cold opens! Drawing inspiration from the podcast is genius. Writing instead of counting sheep is Dwight level creative.
I would have gotten on this review quicker, but I got lost in reviewing maps of Dingman's Ferry and its surrounds. The waterfall looks lovely.
Your economic descriptions of Michael, Darryl, Lonnie, Jim, Pam, Phyllis, Kevin, and Oscar are as funny as they are accurate. Dwight gassing Disneyland is just heresy, however. Angela wishing for frozen French fries is nicely retro and diabolical.
Good onya
Author's Response: Dwight level creative, but unfortunately also Dwight level effective. Not a great sleep solution. But I thought this pitch was gold the second I heard it. It's a shame, really.
Mainly I just thought Dwight would sound funny saying "Dingman." Now I kind of want to go.
Yeah, that was my attempt at at an all-time Dwight line. Not sure it really played.

This is already gold. From the opening disclaimer to all the events leading to Dwight being stuck in the wall. Perfect characterization throughout. Just 100% spot on. On to more.
Author's Response: I mean... Dwight's explanation for *how* he got stuck in the wall would have been a classic Dwight Schrute talking head. *sigh* If only. And this may well be my favorite disclaimer I've ever written.
