More? Yes, please. You've captured all of the voices so well. I especially liked Creed's line:

 "I took the wrong pill before I got on that, brother."



Author's Response: Thanks KatieJ! I\'ve always liked that line too - I love when Creed can hit it outta the park with one line! :)

Jim Halpert is obviously my soul mate--he wants a hound because of Copper? A man after my heart.

The whole story is mucho, mucho cute.



Author's Response: Thank you!! Can\'t you just picture him with a a little hound puppy? God, so ridiculously cute. :D

First, let me say that I usually don't like fics that have The Office crew in other careers. But this is amazing. Every word is just fantastic.

Second, in high school, one of my male teachers cried (over the US Constitution, not poetry) and it was just like you described it. Here was this grown man, in tears, over the Constitution. No one laughed, no one moved, no one even flinched when the bell rang. And you captured exactly how stuff like that happens.

Just awesome. I can't wait for more.



Author's Response: katie, you can't even imagine how happy I was to read this!  Although I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry over someone crying over the Constitution?!  Did he have a mad crush on Sandra Day O'Connor or something?  Anyway, the part of this chapter that I worried over the most was the group interview with the students.  Let's face it, I'm old.  I do spend quite a bit of time around younger people (it's how I retain my juvenile attitude) but I really wanted to get the cadence of that conversation right.  I'm so pleased you think I captured that moment accurately.  Thank you so much for commenting!

Summary: It isn't like she came here just to drink beer and eat oranges, she's known it since she heard his voice weeks ago. Weeks before now, back when it was 2009 and everything still felt mostly okay. Written before Season 5, so no spoilers past Season 4.

It was so refreshing to read something that was not "Jim and Pam live happily ever after and have a beautiful wedding and beautiful, shiney, perfect life and blah blah blah." And it was interesting and well-written and realistic--awesome job.

Author's Response: Thank you so much!  I always worry about posting fic here since I never seem to write Jim/Pam happy endings anymore and I realize that's what most people want to read, so I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)

Summary: A series of mostly unrelated vignettes inspired by poems (or lines from poems) by Dorothy Parker.
It will feature all the major characters at some point, and will most likely be angsty because that's where Parker's poems lean.

I'm glad you were in need of some writing therapy--this is by far my favorite one. You captured Jim so well: He gingerly removes the necklace from around the lamp and slips it over his head. It doesn't feel the same as it did that day. He doesn't feel like a winner.

wow.



Author's Response: Writing this did help me a little bit. I\'ll probably be writing a lot in the next few days. I\'m glad you liked it. :)

I read this first thing yesterday morning. Since then, I have trying to come up with something to review that would actually do the awesomeness that would do To a year of great goodness justice. This is so wonderful. 

ps- As a Catholic, I  really got a laugh from 'After all, he's not Catholic.'

ooh - glad i didn't offend w/the catholic line! i'm pleased it triggered a laugh and not something else :)

Summary: Scranton, Pennsylvania, home to 28-year old receptionist, Pam Beesly. Pam’s array of plain, button-down shirts, drab skirts, and clunky boots make her bright and artistic personality fade into the background. Her coworkers have called in stylists Clinton Kelly and Stacy London to inject some life into her dreary duds, but will Pam be able to deal with the price of fashion? It will be style rejuvenation as Pam learns What Not To Wear.

DinkinFlicka you are the light at the end of the sappy/happy/angst-free tunnel that is Jim and Pam these days. This is so wonderful. I love how you explained how free Pam is now that the cameras aren't following her, how she is making friends on her own and how awesome college is even at her age.

You've crossed the two shows over seamlessly--fantastically. Also, Jack Berger is one of the best SatC characters.



Author's Response: Heeee, thank you so much! I'm glad you are into the idea, Berger really was one of the best characters on that show!

How do you do that in so few words? You've painted this beautiful scene and captured emotions in just over 300 words. If I weren't in such awe, I would be jealous.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much. I get jealous of the fabulous authors here who can think of amazing plots and sustain them for pages and pages. Me? I'm lucky to break 1,000 words! I'm just economical, I guess. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, and took the time to comment. Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Author's Response: Thanks, I\'m glad you\'re enjoying it so far. I have a feeling Jim\'s intellectual and fun, geeky \"writer\" side will be illustrated a lot more in later chapters. And having just graduated college, I thought it was so funny how all of my friends utilized facebook. I talked to everyone using facebook more than I actually hang out with them in person. So funny.
