Jim teaches Pam the finer points of basketball. She's a quick study.
10 AW, I really loved that! It was funny AND sweet.
There's a reason Meredith gets drunk on Valentine's Day, and it's not the obvious one. Spoilers through "Phyllis' Wedding". Oh my god. I'm crying so hard. This is amazing.
Author's Response: My goodness! *hands tissue* I am glad you liked (?) it? Hard to know what to say. I encourage you to go read "Everyday" for a bit of an antidote to all this sadness. :) Thanks for reading!
9 Ha! Great idea! I can't wait to read more since Ryan's talking head was hilarious and spot on.
9 Again, very funny. Kelly had the perfect monologue, of course, that ended with her lip gloss. ; ) Great job!
9 Aw, Jim to the rescue. Very cute.
I seriously laughed out loud at the Drugged Up Jim. Great job!
10 That kid was Alex C. I let him borrow my markers and he ate the caps. But this is totally perfect. It fits with Andy so well.
-Rose : )
He ate the caps???? Wow. He really was THAT kid.
I'm so glad you liked this and think it fits with Andy! I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, and I really identified with Andy's mom. I have a few "that kids" of my own!
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
10 I heard that Mrs. Greene sometimes asks problem-kids who don't ‘fit in' anywhere else to work on the newspaper, but there are no losers like that this year, so it's probably not true.
Oh Andy. *shakes head* Great chapter!
I'm really enjoying Andy more and more as we go along. I tried to make High School Andy be about the same as the Andy we know, but even more positive and even less self-aware. He really is trying, and he thinks he's doing awesome! (Whoo!)
I'm so glad you liked the chapter, Big Tuna. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.
It's about damn time -- not only for Pam & Jim to go on a date, but for me to get in on this whole fanfic writing thing. I hear it's the next big thing. 10 Ha! That was so funny! 'Help me find my pants' Loved that bit. : ) Great job, it seems like it'd be impossible to take this anywhere in 55 words, but you managed to do it spectacularly.
Author's Response: Thanks, Tuna! Apparently Jim losing clothing will be a trend in S4. Why should Dwight & Meredith have all the fun?
A year or two before the cameras arrived, Michael takes the staff to the Poconos for a camaraderie event. Much unresolved sexual tension and angst ensues (uh, between Jim & Pam, not the entire staff).
10 I just sat and read all the way up to this chapter, and I completely love this! You're such an amazing writer, you captured all of their feelings perfectly. Amazing job! Off to the next chapter!
Author's Response:
Holy cow, you read it all in one sitting? Are your eyes bleeding? :o) I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed it; lord knows I've had a ball writing it.
Thanks for taking the time to review!
9 God, I love how he played by himself. Sooo Dwight. I love RISK, even though I always lose. This story is really good! Great job!
Author's Response: Tuna! Are you kidding me!? (sorry I couldn't help myself)....I'm glad that you liked the part about Dwight playing RISK by himself. Even though its a little self-indulgent, I found the idea of him sitting by himself on the farm examining his own moves on a RISK board funny. However, we may find out in upcoming chapters that someone else on the farm knows how to play as well. Thanks for the review Big Tuna.
Jim blogs on Livejournal...This will be an ongoing story, for as long as I have the patience and inspiration to sustain it.
To try make it more of an interactive experience, any and all comments will be responded to in character as if it is in fact, Jim's Livejournal (from the 8th entry on.)
9 Oh, I like it! I loved the line about how he'd laugh about selling paper in the digital age if it wasn't so depressing.
Author's Response: Stick around! My threatened attempts at suicide should have you rolling on the floor! Kidding. Kind of. OKay, I'm totally DQ'ing again. Jake's (My cousin) gonna have a field day with me at Thanksgiving...Sigh.
A series of first times for Andy and Kelly.
9 I'm starting to really fall for Kandy, and I have no idea why. But I really love this fic, and it just shows their potential to be such a hilarous couple. Great job.
Author's Response: Yay! You're falling for Kandy because it is just too awesomely sweet to resist. Thanks so much for the review, I'm glad you're enjoying the story!
9 Oh, poor Andy. : ( I loved how they harmonized their inventory. Fantastic story!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much!!! I really need to get back into this story. Can't leave poor Andy heartbroken forever.
9 Ryan needs to get a good beating from Kelly because Hairspray is the best thing ever. Even Andy can appreciate it. ; ) Again, I love this! Great job, especially with Andy's dialogue. It's so him.
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.
10 I actually just watched The Last King of Scotland today (I'm a James McAvoy addict) for the first time, so when I saw this I thought I'd read it. And it's great! Very, very well-written.
Author's Response:
Well this story bears absolutely no resemblance to the one you watched - I simply stole the name. :) !'m very glad you liked it. Thank you so much for reading!
58 7 a little creepy, perhaps, thinking of Dwight and Angela doing... that... *shudders* ; ) but funny nonetheless.
Author's Response: Well I don't know if you've read the Dwight chapter, but its even creepier. Perhaps you were too scared to leave a review? Anyway, thanks for the review on this one, Big Tuna....and as always, head for open waters.
Ideas for Cold Openings (the pre-title gags) always pop into my head. So these will be just a bunch of teasers that, hopefully, you will find funny. I don't know how many I will post but I'll keep putting them up as they occur to me.
God, Michael is sooo gullible. Loved it!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
My favorite part was when Dwight was comparing it to how a grown man would touch a boy, and he just doesn't get what he's saying. Great job!
Author's Response: I love when they do that on the show. Michael and Dwight often never realize exactly what they are saying... thanks!
Loved the analogy. Very Andy. It even made me laugh out loud. : )
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
I can't get over how clever all of these are! You always capture the characters perfectly.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! You guys make me better, and I mean that!
God, I don't think anybody would ever want to know that Michael was thinking about them while he was in the shower. *shudder* Great cold opening!
Mighty Mouse? How do you come up with these? Loved it!
Author's Response: lol.. You know... I have NO idea how or why that came to me. I\'m just dopey that way... Thanks!
Genius, like always!
10 Ah, I miss the Christmas episode too. Well, I guess I can't miss what I never had *scowls darkly* Great cold opening!
Author's Response: Thanks! And I take very little solace in that thinking as well....
