I love so much about the things you choose to be.

When we get married in Canada, I will read this at our rehearsal dinner. It will be glorious.

Please expect a longer comment complete with footnotes and bullet points soon. But for now, I will just say: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Why are you the way that you are?

<3

Couldn't have happened without you

Cant wait!

Fan-freakin-tastic.

You managed to absolutely nail each of the characters, especially The Office characters and especially Michael.

“No, you said that you needed 'another one'-” At this, Michael shot a furtive glance at Raj, who was still standing at the end of the table"

Soooo Michael. And so perfect. XD

[d_sieya]

Thank you!

Michael was a freaking JOY to write. I haven't read much Office fic but the ones I did he was mostly brushed aside, and as soon as I hit his first scene scene I was like WHYYY. I'm glad he came across, um, realistically ridiculous.

:DD

Ok, I know absolutely nothing about The Office. How close to this whackiness is the actual show, because you have made me verrrry interested indeed!

Looking forward to part 2!

[d_sieya]

Oh my god, I don't think this even measures up to the true whackiness the show provides. I can't speak for the current season, but seasons 1-5 are definitely hilarious and good. I tried to capture the essence here, but I definitely couldn't do all the characters justice (Angela, Meredith, Andy especially.) But yeah I'd recommend you watch it, it's hilarious.

Thanks for the review! Part 2 should be on its way soon

They need to do an actual crossover episode and get you on their payroll to do the script. ;)

This was HILARIOUS and so in character! My favorite is the Sheldon/Dwight alliance. Of course they would come together and of course Sheldon would absolutely suck at subtlety. I really am looking forward to Part 2! :)

[d_sieya]

LOL. Thank you, but I don't think I can live up to the actual writers. I would love nothing more than an actual crossover episode, but I don't think that'll happen since they're different networks D:

But thanks a ton! Oh god, MONTHS ago in a Plot Bunny post I asked for Dwight and Sheldon in a room together, and then the crossover challenge happened and I was like, fuck it! It really was a joy to write.

HOLY HELL. I'M FREAKING OUT HERE.

WITH GLEE. PURE GLEE.

First of all, it's always been my DREAM to have a fic with Sheldon and Dwight teaming up.

Secondly, you have somehow managed to capture the voices of the characters of two large ensembles casts. That's NOT easy.

Third, FUNNY. OMG.

The BSG discussion? I'm dying here. Just dying.

I think I'm going to go make out with this fic now. BRB.

[d_sieya]

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I needed Dwight and Sheldon like burning months ago, so I decided to get off my ass and write it myself. And I didn't know whether I wanted to have them team up or hate each other, and then I decided, why not both?

The Office cast was actually SURPRISINGLY not that difficult since they're all so distinct. Except Jim and Pam since they're like normal and stuff. I had the most trouble with them, tbh.

And thank you SO much for your input on the BSG stuff, I just really needed it in the story for Dwight and Sheldon to bond over.

I'm SO happy you liked it! It was both a hoot and a bitch to write, so
