Hee!

Jim's irresistible hair!

Re: Hee!

[elsbeth_lynn]

It is, it is! I think that's why Pam is always folding her arms around Jim - to keep from touching that hair!

Gil swooping in to save the day! I love how Gil is becoming the fandom fix-it man. I love the pondering of Jim's hair, because I've wondered about that far too much myself.

This is lovely. ::snuggles fic::

[elsbeth_lynn]

I love how Gil is becoming the fandom fix-it man.

Thanks! Yeah, we need someone to do Gil and Ryan now. I would love to hear what he has to say about the Kelly sitch!

[kyrafic]

LOVE this! Gil here is my new favorite! Hahaha, OF COURSE he is fascinated by Jim's hair (seriously, *does* he carefully make it like that?) and I love that he thinks Pam is pretty (and says so!) and that Oscar TELLS him things and that he plays the pronoun game when encouraging Jim and the fascinating hint at Oscar/Gil backstory.

drinker of Rose Kennedys and the solver of straight boys’ problems = Gil's new motto FOREVER. Thanks for writing this!

[elsbeth_lynn]

the fascinating hint at Oscar/Gil backstory.

Thanks! I've got this fanwank going that Gil and Oscar have this whole thing where Gil is out with his family and coworkers, but Oscar is only out with his friends, and Oscar gets all nervous when they go out to the mall or something, and Gil calls him "Mr. Secret Agent Man" with equal parts affection and exasperation.

[obsession_inc]

I love Gil and I love Oscar and I deeply want to see fic with both of them featured at the same time, because EEP, so sweet together.

Hee hee hee ... Gil is solving all the problems of the Office, one person at a time. I love it! Thanks for taking the challenge :D

[elsbeth_lynn]

Thank you for placing him at Casino Night! Maybe he should point out Michael's hotness to Carol next, yes?

[stella_pagan]

Gil! He is definitely one character we need to see more of, LOL. And seriously, I love how he's basically fixing everyone, one person at a time. It's awesome :D

Also, I love the inner curiosity about Jim's hair. Hilarious.

Great job with this :D

[elsbeth_lynn]

I love how he's basically fixing everyone, one person at a time.

It would be great if this became fanon: Gil at the fringes of all these different episodes, sprinkling his little bits of insight over the confused OfficeMates.

[stella_pagan]

Hee! Wouldn't that be the best fic EVER? (Meaning, hint hint, you should totally write it, LOL.)

[elsbeth_lynn]

Meaning, hint hint, you should totally write it,

Tempting! But I love the idea of a bunch of different writers passing Gil around, all taking a whack at his relationship insights.
