Ideas for Cold Openings (the pre-title gags) always pop into my head. So these will be just a bunch of teasers that, hopefully, you will find funny. I don't know how many I will post but I'll keep putting them up as they occur to me.
Heehee! Very good! I award thee with a ice cold bottle of Pepsi!
Author's Response: LOL... Wow, I wish you could... I really don\'t feel like going out and getting one! Thanks!
Wonderful :) Good work!
Author's Response: Winnah! Winnah! YAY! You are the 100th reviewer!! Yeah! You, our lucky contestant, will receive... uh... a congratulatory thank you note from me ( which this is) and a... uh... heartfelt invitation to.. ah... please keep reading. And to check out my other scripts... um.. YEAH! What a prize, right? I spared no expense! THANK YOU!! \r\n\r\nUm... seriously, thanks, I appreciate the kind words.\r\n\r\nThat was a good prize... right? : {\r\n
Honestly! Could you imagine! Holy hell, that would be.. haha.. That would be insane. And you're right, they probably wouldn't bring in all Jim's girls.. but.. the insane akwardness and "Ohmigod" tension ISS something they would do. They don't want to make it into a Soap Opera.. which I think this cold opening would so do.. I'm curious what would happen.. hahaha. Ohmigod. Hah.
Author's Response: LOL... it's a real cringer, ain't it? I told ya,I couldn't help myself...lol...
LOL!
I could totally see this happening. This (and #26) are both so funny. Thanks for giving me something great to read. These have been helpful in tying me over my Office withdrawal from the whole writers strike. Teehee!
Author's Response: Ah, thanks! That's a great compliment!
Hee, so cute! You're on a roll! I love it when Jim says something and then stutters.... :)
Author's Response: Thanks!
Heehe, please more. :)
Author's Response: I had a lull there but I have some more ideas... thanks Dasani!
Okay, this review is for all that I've missed -- 15/10, 9 gold stars and a china cabinet full of Dundies.
I love your CO's.. you still have it... I can't believe it's not Beesley, (I can't believe this isn't in the show). Great job and keep them coming!!
(I wish you had a blog that I could subscribe to so I could keep up better when I'm on travel!) Great Work Kgreene, you never cease to break me into loud laughter!
Author's Response: Hey thanks! It's good to hear from you, I missed ya!
LOL!!! Yesssssss, this is satisfyingly funny.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm really glad you found that funny. Sometimes I lose perspective when I'm writing them. Thanks again!
Teehee! Loved it! Welcome back, I hope there is more where that came from. I saw Cloverfield this weekend.. *shudder*.. but I really enjoy Dwight's take on it. Makes it seem less scary.
Author's Response: lol..yeah, I liked the movie... gave me a lot to think about this weekend, especially with me being a New Yorker. Thanks!
10 I'm sitting here with a huge silly grin on my face. I don't know what else a fan could say. You're really good at this, you know that? I didn't know what to expect and I couldn't read fast enough to find out. Amazzzzzing... Who'da thought... Poor Pam... Wowwee.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! It was a lot of fun writing it and it's satisfying to know that you liked it. Thanks so much!
10 First I wrote something along the lines of "How-can-you-stop-right-there-gimme-more", but I realized that might not really motivate you to post more.
Then I tried to offer you a bribe, but I realized that might not work either. Honestly, what can a bored receptionist offer a writer?
So I'll settle to say this:
Exciting, Intriguing, Wonderfully-written, Captivating and oh man I just want to read more - ing. Thanks for updating, and I cannot wait until act 3! Great job!
Author's Response: lol... Thanks! I\'m glad you liked! You don\'t have to bribe, I promise to finish it! (Although cold bottles of Pepsi ARE acceptable... : ) I just hope I don\'t drop the ball in the third act... : (
10 I'll hire you. Unfortunatly I don't have too much to offer you in respects to payment....
your stories have really brightend my day. I can't wait until all 7 and 8 ideas are published here ( you will, won't you? )
Another 10. 10 10 10.
Author's Response: Well... since you asked so nicely... how could I say no? : ) Thanks so much for the support... I think those stories will make their way up here after all...
10 Are you sure you aren't just a disgruntled writer from The Office that still has so many ideas?
I can't wait for more. Very excited!
This is soo soo soo funny -- it feels to real to me.
Keep up the wonderful work!!
Author's Response: Well... you got the disgruntled part right...lol.. Man, I WISH I could write for them... I don\'t know why I have so many ideas for this damn show. Between the two previous scripts I wrote, this one and the other 7 or 8 ideas I have, my brain is overflowing with Office goodness. Somebody hire me, please!!!!
10 ya know, this story probably reflects jim's true emotions at that time better than most stories i read. you're very good at describing the feelings but still true to the character by what he says. very good, i love this story so far. can't wait for the next!
After a slight pause, Jim rose as well, moving to follow Dwight. Pam stood and shook her head at him.
“Let me go…I owe Dwight one.”
Alternate Scene for Money I couldn't get out of my head. What if Pam went after Dwight? Short, comments would be great.
10 Awwww... Ya know, that was really sweet. It makes me think how similar Dwight + Pam's situations kinda are/were.. compared to Jim + Dwight. I didn't quite understand why what Jim said made Dwight "come back". I like the dialogue you made. Good work :)
Just a little one-shot I actually started a long time ago. It's set immediately post DM Infinity and is a shameless bit of fluff with a pinch of steam. :o)
As always, feedback is much appreciated!
10 Wow.
Just, wow.
Author's Response:
Wow right back at you! :o) I'm so glad you liked it (at least, I hope that was a good wow and not a "wow, did that suck." :o)
Seriously, though, I appreciate your taking the time to review, and I'm so glad you liked it!
“Pam and I have hurt a lot of people, but mostly we’ve hurt each other. There’s no coming back from that.”10 Oh man. You've had me in tears since the beginning, I loved your story, you're a fantastic writer, you're so damn good, this story is so damn good, I feel like I"ve watched a movie that I'll daydream about for the next week. Seriously. This deserves a medal. You're awesome. This story is awesome. Jim and Pam are awesome.
Don't take this the wrong way, but... you should go for that job.
What would have happened if Jim had taken that job in Maryland after all? Season Two angst - spoilers for Halloween through Email Surveillance, then goes AU from there.
10 I'm excited for more. More! More!! :D
I think you have a really neat AU story here and I love how you kind of keep the characters in sync but giving Pam the courage and freedom to do things that I wish she would have done... it's just great. Keep it up :) :)
Author's Response: Hey dasani - thanks for the kind words. For me, I was always curious to see how Pam would do if Jim left (pre-Casino night, that is) and she tried to branch out into art and other things while still with Roy. I always wondered how she would handle that. Also, I like the thought of Pam realizing that Roy isn't right for her on her own - as you can probably tell she's on her way :) Thanks for reading and reviewing.
S3, set between Traveling Salesman and The Return.10 I really like the direction this story is going, and I think you've got a real good taste of their characters. This is an AU sure but I feel the drama.. and I really like that. I hope you continue updating fast!!
Author's Response: Sorry, no more updates - this one is complete. Glad you liked the direction. Thanks much, dasani!
It's been three years since Jim accepted the promotion to New York. After two years of silence, Pam sends Jim a gift.
10 Oh please more! It's a lovely one shot but just leaves so much hanging that I'd love to see played out in your words. :)
Author's Response:
Thank you, dasani! It's not a one-shot anymore. I decided to post that little introductory section first. The second (bigger) part will come in a day or so. Still working it.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
A colorful look at the evolution of Pam and Jim's relationship.10 I love this story so far :) I hope you update soon.. This story is fantastic. I totally feel Jim and Pam through your words and I want to keep reading!
Author's Response: Thank you dasani! Chapter four is in the works. I hope to get it up tonight. Glad you\'re enjoying this, thanks for letting me know!
10 Aw, these are very nice chapters. You make it sound so simple and just about natural that they blew past the angsty parts. I hope you keep writing, I'll be watching out for this story!!
Author's Response: Thanks! My take is always that open communication makes things much easier, and it\'s clear that that is a huge problem for PB&J. I like imagining what would happen if they just said what they were thinking. Glad you enjoyed it! :)
