Is it possible to be driven to the edge of my seat over reading about a game of Risk?  :confused: Apparently it is.  I'm having way too much fun reading this. 

I really like the way that you are telling this from Jim's POV.  It's not overly mushy, but still slightly sentimental.  And I love how it's not completely centered around Pam.  (Not that I don't love the stories from Jim's POV that do revolve around Pam, but this is a very nice change of pace.) 

Oh and one other thing, though not completely.  This is totally taking me back to HS when I worked on our school newspaper (I was the Ad Manager) and we would waste away hour lunches and breaks in the newspaper office playing RISK with each other off the networked computers.  I'm totally missing that right now.  *sniff*  I think I need to run to Toys'R'Us and pick up a board game.



Author's Response: Yeah, it is definitely a challenge to make a board game dramatic, but I'm trying. Of course, it's just a way to get Jim/Dwight, Dwight/Andy, and Jim/Pam interaction really. Yeah the Jim/Pam dynamic will become more apparent in upcoming chapters, but I'm not trying to make it overly mushy. The most angsty chapter was actually Pam's POV. Still, expect more Jim/Dwight, and maybe some Michael/Jim soon. Thank you for the review, BlueJeanBaby.

You Did It! You Did It!  You Did It! You Did It!  *blink* *blink*

I haven't seen a whole lot of Dora The Explorer, but I've seen enough.  I was pretty amused by this.  Very creative idea, none the less.



Author's Response:

haha! Yes, Dora and Blues Clues and Boobah are somewhat staples of my days sometimes. That and playing princess dress up.

Honestly, kiddos give me the strangest inspiration sometimes. It was kind of scary how easy it was to create this situation though. These two shows have more in common than one might think....

Oh no, so sad.  But now we kind of know why they broke up and for some strange reason that gives me hope.  It's not the type of break-up that seems finalized, because it's not irreversible.   They still love each other.  They just need to talk.  

I'm really really enjoying this story.  I love the angle you've decided to take.

Summary: The documentary about life in Dunder Mifflin Scranton is on the air and fast approaching the second season series finale. The Powers That Be (TPTB) have a great idea to boost the ratings (and hopefully paper sales).

I really like the concept behind this story.  I also like how it takes place after the show aired, but while the cameras are still rolling.   I'm also really glad that you made some of the characters contemplate their decision to do nor not to do this. 

My favorite part of this chapter is Phyllis's talking head.  It's short and sweet and it's totally how I would have imagined it.  Bobby just loves his Phyllis, doesn't he.  It's so cute. 



Author's Response: Thanks, BJB - I hope we do someday see the results of the documentary airing.... :-)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  This is a little more of what I would expect Jim and (mainly from) Pam when they (are probably destined to) fight.  I don't want to get into it here, but I was trying to start a discussion about it on the NBC fanfic messageboard thread.  But mainly, I needed to see Pam being patient and compassionate and I think you portrayed that.  Bravo!! :mwah:

Yes! Yes! Yes!  The emotions were so raw and true.  Behind Jim and Pam's niceties, they truly are human beings and human beings are emotional, get angry sometimes and something like this is bound to happen.  You wrote it so well.  

My favorite part:  "I’d describe it as you needing to get over this crap about having to be worthy of me"

Because that is exactly where I think a lot of the underlying tension is going to lie.  If and when they have a real fight, I think there is going to be a lot of old insecurities surfacing.

 Why do I love a good Jim and Pam fight?  I think this is the second piece that I've reviewed where I really liked the fight.  I feel like such a sadistic fan now.   



Author's Response: So happy to hear this worked for you (fussing, fighting and all.) I agree - it's just that kind of insecurity that will rear its head in tense moments...and it's not easy being on the receiving end of it either. I guess as long as they stock up on spaghetti, they'll get through it. (Also because I think they'll truly want to. Good start.) Thanks BlueJeanBaby.

This is so lovely, Queen B.  It's one of those moments when you find out how well two people can truly work together.  It's a sensitive time with so much potential to go horribly wrong, but I think you handled it exceptionally well.  I think you got Jim and Pam's voices down just right.

Great Chapter!!!  I mean, I really like the other ones as well, but this one had me laughing so hard!!  And yet, somehow it was also very sweet.  (I talk in my sleep sometimes, and this totally reminded me of how my husband makes fun of me for it).

Hmmm, so now he's thinking diamonds.

I like this version ladama.  I love Larissa.  But now I'm really curious about the other two versions. 

Author's Response: It's not really 'versions' I just rewrote the part after "how many times have I met Pam, zero" line a few times. There was one where Larissa basically tells Jim to 'fish or cut bait' with Karen (which I feel she's already hinting towards anyway) and other where she calls him out on his 'limbo' state (doesn't want to look unavailable to Pam, but doesn't want to ending things with Karen or take another chance on Pam). But I'm defintiely happiest with this 'version'.

Excellent way of handling this episode, ladama.  Truly innovative.  But on another note, I love how Pam called him out and told him he probably could have purchased a coke by now.  Oh the games they play.

Author's Response: Yeah, I mean, come on, how hard is it to get a coke?

Date: September 03, 2007 Title: Chapter 24: Dwight's Speech

Hmmmm, I think it's interesting that there is still some bitterness at the end of this chapter. Or at least I sense bitterness (and avoidance).  I'm glad Pam worked up a little of that courage.  She was always just a little stronger with Jim than she was with everyone else .  She would stand up to him (I'm fine with my choices), even though it was for the wrong reasons.  So, I do actually find this a little believable. 


Author's Response: Yep, always plenty of avoidance with Pam . . .

Toby.  Of Course.  Toby would be perfect.  I love his little game with Pam and trying to screw her up.  It's too cute.  I also love when you cut away and comment on things we can't see (like when Jim says oh man, I almost got you!

I'm really excited for this story, it's going to be fun.  What a great way to showcase all the characters.  And so far I can totally hear their voices.   I don't know what else to say except that I'm really looking forward to the next chapter.

Haha, his show was just begging to be named that.

And thanks so much for reading, I really appreciate it!
