Wonderful story! I love that it stayed in canon, too! You gave Stanley some spot-on lines that I absolutely could hear him saying. Great piece!

stanley? stanley? i know it's you, stanley. you can't hide in MTT like that.

brilliant.

Author's Response: Thanks! But I gotta tell you, read the Stanley in the most recent chapter of "One Week." That person has channelled Stanley. I bet they eat just pretzels.

Awww. Great ending!  I just love Stanley and was glad he got to be the "hero" in this!

"As Pam walked toward the door, having completely forgotten about the Coke, Stanley drawled: "Would you like me to pass him a note after recess?"

Best line ever! 



Author's Response: Presidents' Day is coming. And I cannot tell a lie. This line was influenced, if unconsciously, by Martin Sheen's wry aside to Michael Douglas while they're playing pool in "The American President." (Note to Aaron Sorkin: it's a *homage* ...)

Great idea for a story! Your Stanley is so perfect and I could totally hear his deep, slow voice as I read his lines. I especially loved "If someone did that to my little girl, I'd kick his ass"

Author's Response: Thank you very much! I don't know if this is my favorite line in the story ... but it's close. Appropriately or not, the present author feels rather protective of Pam. And having Stanley open a can of whupass on the source of her unhappiness was quite satisfying to write.

So sweet! I love the idea that Stanley is the grouchy fairy godmother here. Very funny.

Author's Response: "Grouchy fairy godmother" ... I hadn't thought of it that way, but it is apt indeed. Thanks!

Very very cute idea, and a just reward for Stanley.

I loved this line, and I could just hear Stanley saying it:

"It's Dwight," said Stanley, peering at his newspaper. "He probably saw Elvis, too."

Author's Response: Thanks! Stanley earned his pretzel.

That's a very cool idea that Stanley might have helped them get together.  Lovely story.

Author's Response: Thank you very much!

Nice take on the mysterious week between BG and TJ and whatever the heck was going on in Jim's head.  Excellent Stanley voice.  Love how Kevin starts speculating about their relationship right away.  And what would make Stanley happier than a pretzel?

 



Author's Response: Thanks! My thesis was that Jim needed a wee bit of a push between the beach and Wallace's office to react to the yogurt lid and pull the trigger. And we know that Kevin had an untoward interest in Jim and Pam even before FR. I liked writing Kevin.

Bravo, Guten Tag!  What a great ending!  Your voices were spot on, and you tied everything up so well.  Loved it! 

Author's Response: Thanks! I really appreciated the encouragement ... there would have been neither chapter 2 nor 3 without it.

I am so sorry for not reviewing til now. Stanley is one of my favorite characters (aside from JAM of course!) and you've got his voice down in this story. I can imagine all of this perfectly. Great story!

Author's Response: I am sorry for not responding until now! Thanks for the kind words, and glad you enjoyed it.

What?!  BEST story EVER.  Ugh I was laughing and applauding both at once.  Way to go Stanley.  And what a brilliant idea for how the famous note happened!!!  You're a genius ;-)  Whoever asked for more chapters was also a genius, btw.

Author's Response: Thanks! Wow. I'm going to have to pass this one along to my mom.

Guten Tag, I'm so happy you continued with this.  Your Stanley is just perfect.  His sarcasm has me grinning from ear to ear :)

I'm really enjoying this. I love that Stanley is the one to set them straight. I can't wait for more!

hahaha, oh my god, you got Stanley dead on so much it makes me smile! Awesome job!

Author's Response: Thank you! It was fun channeling Stanley. It made me want to pour a glass of wine and watch "Murder She Wrote."

Oh man, your writing of Stanley rocks. How'd I miss this first chapter? I can hear every word as if Stanley is saying it. Nice job.

I'm interested to see what kind of thinking Jim does, and how he handles it with Karen.

It was so good. It is hard for me to see Stanley smiling at Pam but maybe it's pretzel day... I can't wait for the next chap!

Author's Response: Have we not had Pretzel Day yet? Well ... that's coming.

Stanley's voice was perfect in this, and so was Jim's reaction. Loved it!

Author's Response: Thank you very much! As I said elsewhere, I found Jim a bit of a challenge. I'm glad his reaction seemed credible.

Jim and Stanley--what a clever pairing!  You captured both personalities so well, Guten Tag.  I so wish this had really happened!  How perfect.  I really can't wait for more (TWSS) ; ) 



Author's Response: Thank you -- all of you -- for the kind comments so far. Oddly, I found Stanley easier to write than Jim. I could imagine him saying every line of dialogue. But while I could imagine what Jim was *thinking*, it was harder to imagine what he was *saying.* I find Jim to be a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in mystery.

I love Stanley...and I wish he had done this on the show.  We don't see enough of tough stanley in my opinion :)

Author's Response: Gotta love Tough Stanley. Thanks!
