I think this is a really great challenge and you've done really well with it. I really enjoyed this for a bunch of reasons... you've taken what we've seen happen on-screen and woven new reasons behind it all... and added your own events at the end. Well written and a great idea.

I am a total sucker for Beatles tribute bands... and The Fab Four are awesome. So, I was really excited to read this story! Very fun!

Author's Response: Thanks! The Fab Four are the best tribute I know along with 1964(The Tribute). I thought The Offiice and The Beatles would work well together, and apparently they did!!

Date: March 23, 2007 Title: Chapter 1: The Beginning

This is a cute idea and well executed! I especially enjoyed how all the employees interacted with eachother.
Looking forward to the next installment!

Reviewer: desert island Signed
Date: March 26, 2007 Title: Chapter 2: Three to a Seat

So good! Every character is written so perfectly. Creen makes me crack up so much, his names for eh employees are too funny. And I love that his email address is creed@, when everyone else has first initial, last name@. So fitting. Oh, and "...would have made Lennon proud" made my night! So many great lines and a great idea. Am definitely looking forward to an update!

Author's Response: =] thanks! i was trying to remember creed's last name, and couldn't. so...that's where the email address comes from. but i do think it's appropriate, y'know? =D thanks again, glad you liked it!

Summary:

A shockingly accurate post-cocktails fic written during the hainous. Jim rebuffs Pam's apologies and while distraught at the grocery store she meets a handsome stranger who catches Karen's eye too.

EPILOGUE ADDED :) STORY FINISHED! I had to change it to Explicit Sexual Content so avoid the epilogue if that isn't really your thing.

I am embarrassed to admit that I am a skimmer. Nearly everything I read, I skim. As fast as I can. I usually enjoy knowing what happens in the end more than the journey itself. But there is something about everything you write (especially this) that I must read slowly and take in every word, one by one.
So, thank you. I really enjoyed this. So good.

Author's Response: I'm so flattered you take the time to read my stories carefully!  Thanks so much, and I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this.
