Oh. My. God. This is sooo good! I know this isn't much of a review but I just have to say how impressed I am with this parody! Bravo (and please keep it coming!)

wow, i can't believe how well you're relating this to the movie! andy as count rugen= :D
Author's Response: Thanks, janelle! Andy's crazy enough, don't you think? ;)

In retrospect, they probably shouldn't have shown up at the office together at 5:00 a.m. That had looked kind of suspicious.
I laughed out loud at that line. Also, it took me far too long to understand where you were going with the "three perils" - but when it clicked, I laughed out loud again.
Author's Response: Yeah, I couldn't use the words "fire swamp" believably, so I just kind of hoped people would get what was happening in this chapter. Glad you did! Thanks :)

Oh, awesome. I love this more and more with every chapter.
This: MGScott: O RLY? made me laugh so hard that my eyes were tearing up. I pictured the o rly owl, and I just couldn't hold it together.
Amazing.
Author's Response:
Yay, glad it's still entertaining six chapters in!
And, yeah, Michael would be all over the lingo ;)

OK. Are you kidding me?? Andy as Count Rugen?
Shan. Seriously. Your brilliance knows no bounds....
Author's Response: Hee! I did a little dance when I figured out he was the perfect person to keep Jim occupied for a while. Thanks, Krissy ;)

This was as awesome as I knew it'd be. And this? "
"Supply closet, New Year's Party, 2002. Whew. Feels good to finally tell you that."
"Thanks a lot! Ew."
Totally awesome. I bow to you yet again!
Author's Response: Thanks, girl7! Glad you liked that exchange :)

You are a genius. Like, a parody savant. You figured out a way to get the ROUS in here? And in a way that makes sense? And...Andy is the six-fingered man? Oh, this is so brilliant. I'm feverish, but I think I'm coherent enough to be blown away.
Author's Response: Thanks, Lis! Hope you feel better soon. I've been looking forward to unveiling Andy - he's going to be fun ;)
Author's Response: And "parody savant" is totally going on my resumé, followed by "Lis said so."

AUGH I LOVE THIS!! It's so CLASSIC! The way you interpreted the events/characters/dialogue of Princess Bride in a Office setting is just brilliant and I am holding my breath waiting for the next chapter!!
Author's Response: Thanks, Canaduck! You should become a member so you can post your own fic :)

Big sigh. Wow. This is just amazing, I swear. Michael and the riddle were hilarious, as was the kid wanting to know about Kevin. And this?
"I can only assume he meant you"
....kills. I bow to the master, yet again. :o)
Author's Response: That line is all William Goldman! Stolen, stolen, stolen. But thanks - I'm glad you're enjoying it :)

Wow, this is really great. When I was reading the riddle, I was actually thinking, "Is everyone allergic to it?" It's nice to know that of all the characters, I'm...Michael. Seriously, though, your characterizations are really good, and this has been really fantastic so far.
Author's Response: Bummer! I'm sure you're smarter than Michael ;) Thanks, purplebelt!

DPRoberts: But he said, Please, I need this transfer.
Oh, poor Jim. This is a lovely play on the "please" of the book and a way to remind us of the desperation of Jim (a la the "no future here" talking head). The switch from IM to phone was also a wonderful way to "unmask" our hero, too.
Author's Response: It just goes to show how universal some stories are that The Princess Bride could be adapted to a modern office setting. Yay, William Goldman! And, yeah, Pam finally learns who DPR is and hears Jim's voice for the first time in ages. *sigh* Thanks, Lis ;)

Do you have any idea how absolutely amazing this fic is? When Jim im'ed "As you wish" I went squeetastic! Wow, that would be so hot if we ever got to here him say that on the show.....yum....
Truly brilliant story!
Author's Response: Squeetastic? That is awesome :) Yeah, I think he should definitely say it on the show. Thanks, Chicgeek!

Oooo, I really liked this chapter! Nice use of the "I can't."
Author's Response: Thanks, Beth - I got lucky that the "can't" could be worked in easily. :)

Yea! DPRoberts reveals his true identity ... what a happy ending to this chapter. That's a good riddle, BTW. I love how Dwight "got" it too late for Michael. We all are hanging on for the next chapter....
Author's Response: Yeah, I figured Dwight would be all over it. And the riddle's so flawed! but I figured it was enough to stump Michael, so... And, yay, Jim! Thanks, GreenFish ;)

Ha! Some of the changes you made to original lines make me absolutely crack up laughing. "Did you volunteer for this win-a-date thing right away, or wait a whole five minutes to think it over?"
And I love the oh-so-simple explanation for how he took out Kevin. And Michael's attempts to guess the riddle, and the fact that he wasn't quite smart enough to think of using google himself.
Author's Response: Kevin would be so easy! And I felt like I was almost transcribing dialogue with this one. It was very adaptable. Thanks, Semby!

I had beyond impressed with what you have done with this story. It is just working so well in the context of an office... It takes a whole lot of talent to pull that off! :)
"And Pam? I'm sorry about the stuff I said in the IM. The bad stuff. I didn't mean it."
"I know."
"I meant the good stuff."
So cute! :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much, Gen, that means a lot. I liked that exchange, too :)
