What if it wasn't Dwight who found her? Spoilers for Back from Vacation. “Where did they get in their fight? Was it in the warehouse, because I didn’t see anything. Oh! Was it in front of your desk, and you were like, sitting there, and they both kept looking at you. With love! And then they would pull some hair. Or, no, boys don’t pull hair. Maybe…”
All 5 of these snippets were lovely, in their own ways, but I laughed out loud at that Kelly part. Too funny.
Crossover with "My Name is Earl". Pam is on Earl's list, and it's up to him make things right. Pre-Casino Night.
Hah! And for good measure: HAHAHA! This is so brilliant, and so awesomely Randy/Earl. You've really managed to capture the essence of both of their characters--color me hugely impressed. I can't wait to read more!
Hah. Hahahahahaha. So many hilarious lines in this, which I think I shall quote:
I want to be able to show them pictures and say, ‘Hey kids, this is grass. We used to walk on this.’ Just a dream.
I loved that part. So very Michael, to be so blissfully naive.
“Can’t risk it. One of the women is on her period, the bears smell blood. The bears come into the camp and rip everyone of us apart one by one. Complete chaos. Plus, women can’t defend themselves. There’s too many of you, we’d have to leave the weak ones behind. You’d probably be the first to go, Phyllis.”
Heeeeee! I laughed out loud at that.
The Pam/Jim/Karen interaction was wonderful, too. All of this is really fun! Keep writing!
I can't think of a proper comment for this, one that will fully CONTAIN how much I adored your little ol' story. The first two chapters had me laughing and cringing in a way that is mostly reserved for Michael Scott, but I just LOVED the sense of, oh, delusion? And blissful ignorance in the last piece. This line in particular made me laugh out loud:
Keep a little Jägermeister in your desk drawer. What may slip when Jägermeister is involved? Perhaps an office secret? Perhaps a lady's virtue?
Hee! This whole thing is just so utterly, pitch-perfectly Andy. It makes me think that there should be an entire existing collection of similar fanfiction, all of Andy's weekly blog-updates. Hint, hint.
Anyway, thank you for the fun read!
Thanks, crackers4jenn! I'm so glad you liked this. Remember that even Michael said he'd never seen someone with so little self-awareness as Andy! I think chapter two shows a lot of that delusion and blissful ignorance as well, and I have to say, that's a lot of fun to write. Snickering is involved with that sort of writing.
You aren't the first to suggest an Andy blogfic after reading this. This particular story is only Andy's past, up until right before we met him. I may at some point add some chapters earlier than this, but the current chapter 3 is intended to be the end.
As for a new fic that is Andy's blog? Never say never, I guess, but it's not in my plans at this point. (At this point, my plan is not to plan. Less disappointment all around that way.)
I'm glad you thought I captured Andy (Let him go! Let him go!) Good characterization is really important to me, which is why there are some characters I only write in very small amounts -- I can't get inside their heads! Andy's POV is a lot of fun to write, I think, and it was easier with the newspaper column and the blog! Andy can say any sort of nonsense that he believes!
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
