Beautiful. So romantic and I sure wish this would actually happen. Sigh.

Naked Creed! Gah!

Author's Response:

Thanks belsum! Nakes Creed just cracks me up.

Summary: Past Featured Story

Now that he's with Jan, there's so much Michael's learned about love.  He feels obligated to spread the word.  Set sometime Season 3-ish but not specific.

I love Michael and Jan so much that just brought tears to my eyes!  It's so effing real.  I can hear Michael saying all those things (especially "You've seen boobs right?"  BWAH!) and I can see Jan being torn between revulsion and lust.  Perfect.

Also perfect?  The teasing between Jim and Pam about being required to have sex.  I could envision that whether they were actually hooked up or not!



Author's Response:

Thank you SO MUCH.  I am having a ball writing this - because seriously?  What is more hysterical than Michael and Jan??? 

Of course - I cannot let a fic go by without writing something Jim and Pam related - so you're stuck with that too. :)

WARNING: Contents contain severe hilarity and should not be read while eating lunch.

That was just beyond brilliant. I WANT this to happen! Seriously, how dawesome would it be to actually watch Michael Scott trying to set up an already secretly dating Jim and Pam? "Who'd give a baby arrows? They're dangerous..." BWAH! And I can see them admitting to Jan that they're already together but Jan telling them to let Michael think he pulled off the matchmaking. Because Jan loves Michael. And that is the way the world should be. Yay!

(Also, what kind of a hell beast would be unleashed upon the unsuspecting world if Jim Carrey's character from Cable Guy and Michael Scott were to meet up at the Medieval Times? Eep!)

Author's Response:

Wow!  You've been busy keeping up with me today!  LOL! 

This is one of the most fun.  Writing Michael at his most insane can't help but put one in a good mood. 

AND THANK YOU!  CABLE GUY!  I could not for the life of me remember where I'd seen that scene when I wrote this.

I love your idea about Jan.  I might just steal it - if you don't mind. :)

Reviewer: belsum Signed
Date: March 14, 2007 Title: Chapter 3: A kiss on the hand may be quite continental...

I can't even process all the brilliance right now to write anything resembling a coherent review!  It was just...wow.  Everything was spot on, from fake preggie pops to Michael's "symptoms" to Jim calling Pam Kelly to the actual proposal itself.  I went from choking on my lunch while laughing to choking on my lunch while holding back tears.

Author's Response:

Careful with the choking!!!  Who's going to leave me such lovely reviews if you perish like that?? :)  Thank you so much.  I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

Now.  Take tiny bites next time!! ;)

BWAH!!!  Excellent reveal.  Wow.  Too many dawesome things to count.  The various types of smiles, breaking up via IM, it's all genius.

Author's Response: Thanks! It popped into my head while I was putting on lipstick this morning. I truly don't know where this stuff comes from sometimes. :)

Aw.  How nice to have a work outing that Michael didn't ruin in his usual cringe-worthy manner!  And I love the idea of Kelly and Meredith getting loaded together.  Heh.

Author's Response: Thanks! They would be a fun pair to party with, methinks (although they were a little snippy at each other at Phyllis's wedding!).

Agh!  Karen!  Again with the timing.  Ouch.  Such a great condensation of the entire damn relationship--or lack thereof.  And I loved the "This must be how Kelly feels" line!

Minor quibble:  As she walked into the ladies room  It took me a second to figure out which "she" you meant.  I think identifying her as Karen since it's a new paragraph would be a bit more clear.  But really, very minor because I honestly enjoyed this story so much.



Author's Response:

Thanks belsum! Jim and Pam have always been about bad timing but if they keep trying, maybe they'll get it right eventually! But they're not drinking anymore decaf, that's for sure.

Yay!  A happy ending for Jan and Michael and their cute baby girl!

I'm crying more upon re-reading it and letting my own maternal feelings take over.  Nice job.



Author's Response: Amazing isn't it??  Who would have thunk?  LOL!  So glad I struck a maternal chord - seeing as I am not yet a mother myself.  Thanks so much for the review!

Date: April 02, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: Mosquitoes

OMG.  I was reveling in the honest voice you've given Karen.  That it was so nice to finally get a glimpse of all the things that keep her with Jim, since so much fic focuses on all the ways that she causes him to change who he really is.  I love the mosquito metaphor and the barely suppressed jealousy and the neat interweaving of the actual show moments.  And then you leave the chapter break with the impending Roy beat-down and I have to go home and not finish because my ride is on the way!  GAH!

Author's Response:

Oh no! Your ride needs to accomodate your fic-reading! Heh.

Thank you for the review. I really do have a soft spot for Karen. I'm really flattered by your phrasing- "reveling" Hee! Thanks!

Date: April 02, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Truth

Oh now that is a beautiful piece of confusion. It's all completely true. But the lies of omission, hooboy. I love that the two kisses have been conflated!

Author's Response: Thanks belsum! I really appreciate that you're writing reviews for each chapter. Really above and beyond!

Reviewer: belsum Signed
Date: April 03, 2007 Title: Chapter 5: Burn

It really hit home when Karen realized that Jim actually forgot she was there.  I actually forgot to break up with my then boyfriend when I met my husband.  Oops.

I loved the parallels of the non-answers.  Sure Pam may give them to Roy and Jim, but Jim also gives them to Karen and sometimes even Pam.



Author's Response: Ha! Great story about meeting your husband! That is love

Wow. Beating back tears of my own over here.

How can I possibly list all the things I loved about this? I mean, besides the obvious: their impending nuptials. Heh. The relationship between Pam and her future MIL was very thoughtful and real and I would actually love more of them hanging out!

Boys ARE insane. And you should never get rid of your vinyl!

Author's Response:

I think Jim's wanting to sell his mom's records has more to do with her choice in music than the fact they were albums.  I think he'd actually appreciate vinyl. 

I'd say I'm sorry about the tears but I'm thrilled something I wrote would move you to them!

I tried leaving a review last night when I left off to say that I couldn't believe I was too tired to finish.  Alas, the internet wouldn't let me.  So let me say now that this:

 "Staggering your usual routine is an excellent method of throwing her off your trail. The last thing you want is a surprise attack.”

This is why Dwight is dawesome!

What a way to go indeed!  Can't wait for the final reveal to the chat friends.  I love Teasing!Pam!  She's awesome.  And of course the entire office was rooting for them.  Nice details in each of their reveals to Jim.

I didn't even miss the lack of chat in this chapter.  Wow.  I wasn't sure if Pam was going to actually admit it was his eye color or not.  So glad she finally did!  We're getting close here; I can feel it.  Squee!
