Title: Chapter 2: Tempest in a Teapot
Whoa.
This is one of those stories that catches you so off-guard, you can't really form a coherent review, so you walk away, and then you never actually review, which is bad. So I'm going to try to pull it together.
First of all, I thought the first chapter was brilliant, but I don't think I ever reviewed it. The second...whoa. I'm convinced that the beauty of your writing lies in the little details you offer. The return of Jimpot (which...awesome), Karen's prank on Dwight, Jim's painful memory of the alliance days, the "Pam years" vs the "Karen years"...all amazing little details that made the story that much stronger.
But then you go and blow it all away with the fact that PAM READ THE LETTER. Damn, I did not see that coming. I love that, even after reading pretty much everything that is on this site, I can still be surprised once in a while.
I'm thrilled that you've decided to continue this.
Author's Response: Wow wow wow! You are a fanTAStic reviewer. I feel like printing this out and putting this on my refrigerator and telling my roommates, "Look! I done good!"
I am so flattered by everything you wrote. I'm glad that you like the details, because I have so much fun writing them. I was worried about the velociraptor thing, so I'm happy it worked.
As for THE LETTER (hee!) I'm glad that it was such a huge surprise. Now I just hope that I can continue the series with believable, huge discoveries :)
