Typical slow days at the office with the Ladies of Dunder Mifflin.
I love Kelly playing by herself! Can't wait for more :)
hahahahahahahahaha - this is all hilarious! Summed up by this: “Benihana’s is very romantic…” Dwight wheedled.
“For whores.”
Author's Response: Oh I loved it so much I put it in my newest chapter. I swear I can't say 'romantic' anymore without adding 'for whores'. It was very hard at Church with my Grandma to be hold my tongue when she was telling me about some so-and-so's daughter's very romantic wedding. Yeah, a wedding for whores! God, I'm so glad I finally got that out. Er. Hope Grandma doesn't read my reviews....
Oh, Dwight! hahahahahaha!
Gah! Don't leave us here! What are the men of the office up to now?
gobbedly gook nerd blehh? hahahahahahaha. I continue to love love love the backstories in here - Angela's first day, her prom, Phyllis's performance review - I can SO see this all happening! You always leave me satisfied and smiling, Muggins ;)
Author's Response: Eeeeeeeewww! Don't let my boyfriend know that mcmuffins!
Oh my god Muggins, you're killing me with the funny! Angela = swan - PERFECT!!!! And them quoting Dwight? Question: Do you have a moat? hahahaahahahaha. And just the rest of it... and oh man, would I love to have seen the first time Pam's mom came to the office... another great chapter! More, please :)
Author's Response: I too would love to see the first time Pam's mom came to the office. Sometimes I wish it wasn't in documentary form so you could have flashbacks. Young Dwight! That would be popcorn-pleasing entertainment!!
Another great chapter - WHAT is Jim up to? And how will he keep Pam from seeing right through his accomplices?
Author's Response:
And how will he keep Pam from seeing right through his accomplices?
That is a very good question. The answer is: BLACKMAIL
Oh my god, I LOVE Angela's "compliments!" Especially the one about Kelly... I could just DIE. OH Muggins. I stick by what I said - you're putting crack in the fic! Or subliminal messages, whatever. This is waaaaay too good and too engrossing. Stupid Karen, btw. Ergh.
Author's Response: When I wrote that "compliment" about Kelly I just about DIED myself. How un-PC can you get. I have an easier time writing Meredith's trailer-trash sex talk. Seriously. Angela scares me some times. la-la-la """"""""""""""""""""""" oops, how did all those apostrophes get there?
Good lord, muggins. I have no words. Incoherent. But I. Love. This. LOVE IT!!!! The situations you've come up with are hilarious, outrageous, and yet, for the show, totally believable! I LOVE it. UPDATE SOON, please!!!!!
Author's Response: incoherence is a good thing. some of my favorite people are incoherent... Pam...Michael...Jim
Hee! That is all. I mean, awesome and all, but what I'm left with is "hee!" Yeah, I'm SO articulate...
Ha! hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha! Seriously, Muggins, you kill me with the funny! Are there more like you? Or can I just have you around the house to crack me up all the time? There were so many awesome moments, but the line that got me right at the beginning last time was it’s just an elephant! It’s not a…not a…rare hedgehog! It’s not an endangered cat of prey! Cat of prey???? Oh, Michael... This is awesome.
You weren't kidding about dark! Yikes! Can't wait for the update.
This is from Karen's point of view - my attempt at getting into her head and fleshing out just what's going on there. (Perhaps I should clarify that this is decidedly not a Crazy!Karen fic.)
And while it's obviously centered on Karen, Jim and Pam are very much in the background.
It'll ultimately be a two-parter, probably no more than that. Seriously. I mean it this time.
Do it! Do it! I really like your sympathetic portrayal of Karen. I totally see her hearing herself sounding so desperate, but needing to get at what's really true.
In the end, it doesn't happen at a wedding.
You're back! Where have you been! This is so great, and so different - and you hit it on the head with this: buffered from everything not-them. Ah.
Author's Response: I've been in time-out :) Thanks, mcmuffins!
Wow! Dark, edgy, literate, redemptive - I really don't have words, but just had to leave a review so you'd know how amazing this is.
Author's Response: Thank you! Redemption definitely drove this story.
I love the psyche frame! I laughed at this: She hates her psyche. Stupid psyche., and then it kept coming back! I also loved the bit about her having communication problems with the back of Jim's neck.
Author's Response: Hehehe. Thanks! The psyche stuff were my favorite bits to write :)
As far as I'm concerned, this is pretty much the OFFICIAL Karen backstory from now on. The part about the sisters was just beautiful, and the college boyfriend was so sweet and right, too. Sigh. And I SO get where she's coming from with Jim, the way you wrote this! This is just lovely, lovely, lovely. And so poetic!
Author's Response: Really? Wow, thanks! I'm so, so glad you think it's consistent with her character!
When you tell me your plan, a giggle laced through your words, I have to work hard to concentrate...
A companion piece to the parking lot had an element of danger. Title taken from "Lion's Mane" by Iron & Wine. Spoilers through The Return.
Beautiful! But oh, it breaks my heart - maybe HE's not done "crawling out of the ashes." Oh Jim! Oh Pam! Oh humanity!
Author's Response: Heee, oh humanity indeed. Thank you!
13 A five things prompt that inspired me. Spoilers up to Traveling Salesmen, to be safe.
Oh no! He broke Pam! Seriously - really well done.
Author's Response: Thanks!
Dude - friggin fabulous! You so nailed it! (TWSS)
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! I was nervous about this one, a bit, because it was my first foray into Dwangela-land.
So nice! So sad! And so what I had in mind...
You too can go from salesman to assistant regional manager in 5 easy steps!
Vague spoilers through Branch Closing.
ha! excellent! thanks for the end-of-the-week fun :)
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.
OMG! He did NOT send her that stuff! Oh my... And poor Jim - finally gets the girl, and can't even enjoy it! Great job :)
Author's Response:
Um. Yeah he did. LOL!
Thanks mcmuffins. This one is fun to write!
Five Angela Fantasies Toby Has Used; Plus, One Inadvertent One With Dwight
hahahahahahahaha! Oh lordy lordy lord. I love it! GREAT job LL! :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I don't think of myself as having a lot of humor skillz as a writer, so I'm thrilled when I manage to make someone laugh.
Hot!Tortured!Roy! Poor guy.
Author's Response: Hot? Well, hot under the collar, maybe. :) Glad you liked it, mcmuffins.
