Author's Response: Paranoia and sensitivity? In a writer? Noooo. ;P thank you for your readership, though! And yes, even I giggle over the boxers. Stay tuned for the epilogue...the boxers thing will come back...

I had no real idea how this would end after reading the other chapters. I love this ending. Mind you, I like Krazy!Karen and a whole variety of characterizations of these people, but I definitely liked this one as well. I liked Karen's explanation of the new job and such. You certainly could make it simpler if you wanted, but I think it's good.
I loved the bit with the hot chocolate and Jim and Karen taking such good care of Drunk!/Hungover!Pam. It was really sweet.
So hey, I'm still with you. I can't imagine anyone dropping your stories because of this one. (Hmm... paranoid, sensitive writer, much?)
Thanks for this. I still sort of giggle over the boxers.

Hey, you don't have to specify which Piz. I mean, come on, there's only ONE Piz. Right? (Love Piz - Pizonica is going to happen).
I enjoyed this. I especially enjoyed Jim's reaction when Karen spilled the beans!
Author's Response:
Piz!!! Pizonica!
Haha. I get excited when I think about Piz.

I really like this. With all the three word lines that flow so nicely, it's like breathing, or maybe heartbeats. Maybe like a strobe light, but not a crazy fast one - slow, steady, illuminating 3 words at a time.
Just so nice.
Thanks for this.

Just lovely, Moxie. Thank you for all the good and Squirrelly times! I'll be watching for that sequel, but make sure to take a little time to relax first if you need to! Perhaps you should relax in some of those cute squirrel (Mc)pants.

Oh, Pam, just forgive him and enjoy being in love! (That's what I'd do!)
There's a typo in the following, but this sequence is so cute:
"Ah, so you're a dork, too."
"I must be." Her unspoken by clearly implied I'm sitting here with you, aren't I? made Jim laugh.
Hooray for more Squirrel. I'm so glad Jim kissed her at the end!
But now I'm really hungry for a cheese omelette. Darn it!

Best. Chapter. Ever. Hooray! I'm so happy.
Please don't suddenly have her be mad when he admits it; my grief bone would not be able to take it!
I love this ending, with the "let's change to our real names" and "I know who you are". I'm going to be smiling throughout the evening, I'm sure!

Oh, yay! So sweet. I was thinking it was the teapot, but your reason was so much better, and unambiguous!
Did Jim recognize the boy-squirrel eyebrows as his own, or as the fake picture of Matt Czerny, or whatever? I hope Jim's! (They are very distinctive!)
Now I think I'll leave MTT and just clear the mind and prepare for the new show. Only 44 minutes away! But, I had to read Squirrel first. You understand.

Angsty!! I'm really curious about what will happen next! I don't think Vexin has a whole lot of doubt that Squirrel = Mr. Wonderful!
Jim, just go over to her place with a horror movie! Kiss her and beg forgiveness for your online deception! Listen to your own advice about how it doesn't matter who goes first!
Get to the next chapter when you can. Remember, "Sleeping... better than not."

Jim is digging himself in so deep. He should have gone to her house last night for the movie. Or, he should have not sent a picture today, and showed up on her doorstep tonight with a picture. As long as they are really discreet and keep everything out of work, and Karen is not parked outside of Pam's place...
Pam's going to be more angry as it goes on....
That guy is kinda cute. Does he know his picture is being used as Squirrel/Matt McPants? (Is it Mr. Moxie? If so... niiice!)

This is excellent; another great chapter!!!
If I were Jim, I would have showed up at Pam's house to watch Wedding Singer, and confessed ALL, including "I was only dating Karen because I thought you only wanted friendship and it was killing me." But... where's the drama in that, right?
Does Pam know it's Jim? Is she messing with him? I thought the favorite color thing was a pretty big clue; it's hard to believe she doesn't suspect....?
Of course, I adore the whole Kelly subplot. I was glad you updated us on how things are with Karen; I was wondering how that was going!
I like how you snuck in "the Roy thing".
Happily awaiting more, when you get to it. Ummm... "I'm squirrelly for Squirrel".

FAN-tastic! I actually think her dress was not really purple-y enough to be periwinkle, and was more like aqua, but your mileage obviously varies. But, I LOVE that he referred to her Casino Night dress. Was that Squirrel McPants' intention when he told her to ask the favorite color? That he would then use that to bring up that dress and (inferentially) that night? Wow. Just... wow. And Pam's surprised look and her stuttering? That's right, more wow.
I also loved (okay, everything, but...) the bit in the diner. How smart of Jim to meet Toby away from the office! Pam was so sweet in the phone calls back and forth and I loved Jim's reference to the Flirting Disaster of '07, and that he knew over the phone that she was blushing. The bit with Dwight was really cute, too - made me think of the end of Traveling Salesmen.
Your Squirrel updates are such a highlight. Thank you!!

Oooh, looks like Jim may have tipped his hand... Pam is, at the very least, suspicious, right?
Squirrel should not have said he had someone cover for him for the first half of the day. I know Pam wasn't in the chat room at the time, but still, it seems pretty risky to me!
I'm certainly wondering where you're going next!

I'm very (/Jim) interested in where this is going.
I would never in a million years name myself Squirrel McPants. Even if I wanted to fly under the radar (like a flying squirrel. Or a bat. Hmm. I'll stop now).
Anyway, why are you reading this review when you should be writing updates? More, please!

Oooh. This is SO good. I'm really enjoying it. I think you really captured Jim's thoughts as things were revealed in the chatroom. And hey, why DOES SaintSimon keep hugging WalkingDisaster? Is SaintSimon male or female (wonders)? Loved Pam's intense investigation of whether the new guy could be Mr. Wonderful - beets and Jello questions!
I look forward to future chapters, whenever they come.

Wow!!!! Evil, evil Karen! This chapter was sooo good. What will happen next???
(Shouldn't Karen have rubbed the ring finger of her left hand? In the US, anyway, that's the one for engagement and/or wedding rings.)
Loving this story. Poor Pam. Evil Karen. Angry Jim!

Hurray for more Squirrel! Hurray for ignoring Karen's calls (but c'mon, she's only 2 blocks away - she'll be knocking on the door anytime)!
Hope the next chapter goes more quickly for you, so we can see it soon.
Is it sad that Squirrel always makes me think "Moose und Squirrel" (bad russian accent)? Showing my age, anyway.
It's interesting that Saint-Simon is admitting his crush on WD. I wonder if he's tried to meet her...
I look forward to more.

I was so excited to see another chapter, I can't even tell you. I have been thinking about this story just the way I USUALLY think about the usual Office episodes. When will Pam find out the Squirrel = Mr. Wonderful? When will Jim dump Karen? What will happen Monday at work? The scenarios are running through my mind and I'm having such fun with them.
So thanks for this!!

Thanks for more squirrel! I LOVE the last line! (Even more than I love the rest of it, which is saying a lot.)
I love how WD knows that Squirrel has an issue with St. Simon! Is WD going to start feeling guilty, because she's in love with Jim but is majorly crushing on Squirrel?
I love (must find other words to use - where's my thesaurus?) that Pam saw Jim running. Love, lurve, have ardent fervor for (hey, that's sans thesaurus) The Love Song of Squirrel McPants.
Moxie, thanks for posting so quickly (relatively speaking). Even when it takes you a while to get chapters up, they are always very meaty. (I don't mean that in a TWSS sort of way, so don't go there, girlfriend.)
Thanks for more Squirrel! Loving the Squirrel!

Thanks for the new chapter, Moxie! I am enjoying this story so much.
My mind is running around wondering how this will go - hurray! We all want you to post soon, but your health is more important, so take care of yourself first, and write second. (There may be other things between your health and writing, too - feel free to take care of those also.) We will be here when you're ready to give us more!
Loving, loving, loving this story.

Of course cage matches work. If they didn't, everyone would still be in the cage. (All right, I'm paraphrasing.)
DinkinFlicka, you know how to make it up to us. 2 words: ketchup fights. (No tickling though - too Roy. Ugh!) 2 other words: steam, smut. Yet 2 more words: happy ending (in case we don't get one on the real show!).

I laughed at the poor insults and giggled at the rolling around on the floor fight. I don't think it would happen that way (more like the punch to the face) in real life, but oh, I enjoyed it.
It was great to have it from Ryan's perspective; I look forward to Pam's as well. It was so funny that Jim got locked in the break room, and the whole thing with the first aid kit.
Hurray for all of this!
Only one (I hope constructive) criticism. I don't think Halpert is a Polish name (although of course Krasinski is), and even if Jim Halpert also has Polish ancestry through the non-Halpert line, a doofus like Roy is unlikely to know that or retain that info if he ever heard it. I still laughed, though.
This was just great. Bring on more when you can!
