55 words on choosing a name.
(all stand alone pieces)
That was excellent! (That's what she said.)
A series of talking heads in which the staff answers the question: So what do you think now that Jim and Pam have started dating?
A submission to the 55 word challenge.
Excellent characterizations! I love a series of short talking heads on a single topic - one of my favorite formats. I think Dwight was my favorite, followed closely by Oscar because you just nailed his bitchiness. But Creed wins it all for actually talking about Dwight and Angela! HA!
The ghost of Barry White! Solid! Color me intrigued. This should be a fun one.
Author's Response: Thanks, belsum! I hope you like the rest of it!
Oh I love this! It reminds me of something that I can't quite put my finger on but it's also almost a ghost story. Very cool.
Author's Response: Thanks - it does border on the unbelievable, doesn't it? But as long as people like it, I'm going to be happy with it. :D
That was so charming and chilling. Really nicely done. I liked the voice you gave Jim and the seamless way you involved the actual events of "The Job".
Author's Response: Thanks, belsum - it was a bit of an imagination stretch, but I'm glad you found it enjoyable. :-)
A series of first times for Andy and Kelly.
I really like how deftly you're weaving hints of possible future Kandy into the canon characters and actions. It's all completely plausible and really well written. I'm so enjoying this peak into the cracks of the show; the cameras don't catch everything!
Author's Response: Hee, thank you so much! You have no idea how much reviews like this inspire me to write more. I think I'm in love with you. Seriously. I'm going to go get my banjo out of my car...
Oh poor smitten Andy! What a wonderful way for them to meet. You've got both of their voices nailed and I could even feel that it was pre-anger management Andy (don't know if that was intentional or not). I could go for a whole series of unseen moments between these two throughout the course of the show!
Author's Response: Oh yay, I'm glad that you liked it!!! I am so very happy that I managed to capture their characters, because I was a little worried about that in certain parts of this chapter, so you've just boosted my confidence quite a bit! Thanks for pointing out that pre-anger management Andy came across well, I actually wasn't even thinking about that when I wrote it, I was just trying to emulate his personality from "The Merger". Hee, I have watched that episode way too many times. Thanks so much for reviewing, I appreciate it!
Hee! Andy likes Kelly! This is just so sweet. I'm glad you got back to it.
Author's Response: Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this chapter!
Michael's looking for a long lost relative - with (hopefully) hilarious results. Set S4ish - NO SPOILERS - with a healthy dose of a blissful Jim and Pam because I simply can't help myself.
Oh my dear lord are you sure you didn't steal this off the desk of one of the show writers? Because you've just nailed everything about how it works! The main focus is Michael, or Jim fucking with Dwight (and Michael) with a little bit of Jammy goodness sprinkled on top for good measure. And you even got the perfect tone of Pam interacting with Dwight and Andy and Dwight fighting over being Michael's stooge! I need to see this filmed immediately!
Author's Response:
WOW. Quite a compliment. Not sure I deserve that but thank you very much - but it's just me being silly but I love that you love it. More silliness soon.
Thanks as always for making my day w/your reviews. You're the best. :)
Oh Pam. She's such a softie. She is so deft at gently manipulating both Michael and Dwight. Really nice.
Plus...I LOVE Swiss Family Robinson! Both the movie and the book.
Oh and YAY for the return of the fic!
Pam is a sweetie. I don't care what that Filipelli chick says. lol!
So glad you liked it.
This chapter, more than the last, made me say, "Oh Micheal" repeatedly. Hee! I think you're really hitting your stride now. This was wonderful!
I missed the fic archive more than I realized. And now I have that ON-J song in my head. Thanks.
This is the second time I have used ON-J in a fic. What does that say about me??? I'm so glad you're enjoying the ride. Thank you as ever for your lovely review.
Wow. Poor Jim is right. I can totally see Michael getting hung up on wether or not Jim shops at Macy's. And the beginning - only reading the first page that's up on Amazon? Brilliant. So very Michael Scott. I can't wait for the return of Special Agent Dwight K. Schrute!
Author's Response:
Aw thanks belsum. Writing Michael really is so much fun.
As is writing pranks on Dwight. More on that later. :)
I just don't even know where to begin. Michael is related to Toby and has toilet paper coupons?! BWAHAHAHAA!!! You, my dear, are a genius. You can write all the WIPs you want as long as the pay-off is that awesome. (But I like one-offs, too. I missed you!)
Author's Response: :) It was a long time in coming - but I'm glad you enjoyed the end result. Thank you so much for the review. I'm so very glad you liked it. And that's very sweet. It's lovely to have been missed. :)
Written for both the Pam's Pregnancy and 55 Word challenges. Takes place before The Job.
HA!! Oh my gods that it effing brilliant!!
A more angsty view of the Pam's Pregnancy challenge, but it comes equipped with a happy ending.
p.s. i lied when i said i wasn't going to change the pronouns. I tampered a bit to make it clearer. hope it helps.
Wow. Even though there is no way I'd want for Jim and Pam to not work out I'm really glad you wrote this. It was such a different take on the idea and I actually think it was quite successful.
Yay me!
So, I saved my list of favorite bits for here so it would be a surprise to you. First of all: a forest fire video! BWAH! Dwight's concern about hazardous chemicals. Angela's reason for her congratulations. And finally Michael. "Gets all his paperwork done." Awwww.
Hee!! That made me have to swallow a chortle before it escaped out loud. Very nice.
Author's Response: Why hold back? Let that chortle out! Thanks for the review!
Pam's fears are getting the better of her.
For the Pam's Pregnancy challenge.
HA! Love that Michael was eavesdropping. Classic. And that they were fighting about Jim asking her to marry him, clearly after learning that she's preggers. And the description of pregnancy hormone insanity was spot-on!
Author's Response:
Thank you! Glad to hear the hormone insanity worked. I know what it's like without the pregnancy:) Thanks for the kind words.
HA! Reminds me of a movie quote, "Anything more than a mouthful is wasted."
YAY! This was a fantastic, frantic, delicious, silly, oddly touching bit of Kandy and I loved every bit of it.
It really is payback, isn't it? I'm dyin' over here!
Ride together! BWAH!!!
Indeed. Hee! They really didn't think this through, did they?
Ooh burn. Double date. *snicker*
Talk about tear jerking! What a wonderful way to share the news. I absolutely loved the morning sickness symptoms being obliquely described through Jim's clueless reaction to them all.
And thank you so much for the lovely dedication! We should talk more. I just suck at timely replies. *sigh*
