Title: Father, Brother, Lover (Dance Instructor)
Characters: Jim/Pam, Michael/Holly
Rating: PG, at the very most.
Spoilers: up to Business Ethics
Summary: Michael navigates his way though the day and tries not to fall in love or set himself on fire.
Author's Notes: Written for Tesserae. My assignment was the episode Business Ethics. I have to give truck loads of thanks to Morning Angel and Blanca for their unbelieveably helpful last minute and amazingly quick betas. The kind that saved my hide. Any remaining tinkering faults are completely my own. I also want to acknowledge xoxoxo and Callisto for their infinte patience regarding my panic about... well. They know. And finally, the SPC for being so gracious as to invite me, even though I haven't written any Office fic in a billion years.
( No! Nothing! Nothing, Michael. Just saying hi. )

Meme-y meme from sfaith:
Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” He is believed to have called it his greatest literary work ever. Can you write a story in six words?
These were my answers (yes, I got carried away):
They danced, even at the end.
The tether broke; she was free.
His ghost revealed the whole truth.
Birds wept; she burned the telegram.
Thanks for the challenge, Doll!

Not to be spammy, but this deserves it's own post. After an explosion in Vancouver last night due to arson, I read this gem in the news:
This isn’t the first time a restaurant blast has caused chaos in the neighbourhood. A similar
blast blew out the aptly named Dynamite Pizza at Broadway and Cambie in the early morning of Aug.
14, 1991.
An employee was critically injured in the explosion, which was triggered when he tried to clean
appliances using gasoline. The force of the blast shattered windows and sent debris over nearly an
entire block.
And the Darwin award goes to...

Have you ever come across a WiP fic that you abandoned because you thought it was the worst thing ever written by anyone (including the monkey that didn't type Hamlet), only to re-read and think it's pretty decent? It makes you wonder, doesn't it?
What fatal flaw had I spotted that it ended up in a dumping ground folder? Or was I just having a "Paper Jam is a shit writer" kind of day? I'm almost scared to start working on it again lest I realize what had gone horribly wrong when I'm another two chapters in and have to tear out my hair and give up again.
But maybe it's what I need to get back into the swing of things? *frets*
ETA: Aw, crap. I was just re-reading and realized that there's a line in there that another writer coincidentally and infuriatingly used long after I wrote it. Bollocks. I liked that line and I'd forgotten I had to cut it. That's the trouble with WiPs, I guess. Damn you, universe.

Some thoughts, in list form because they are random and difficult to organize.
1. So, this is why I like watching So You Think You Can Dance. When you think about the talent level compared to other reality shows like American Idol (and various other "talent" embarrassments) it's pretty glorious. ( I realize there are plenty of faults (although this clip proves they more than have what it takes to be champions), but when you consider how AI contestants sort of scrape by every week you have to hand it to these kids.
2. Right now I'm watching the SNL's "Best of Tracy Morgan." That exists? I have to say, though, I quite enjoyed seeing old skool Jon Stewart (his hair is SOOOO tall), Matt Damon's face when Tracy asks why pigs hate Jewish people (you have an Uncle Koolaid/I don't want to see your weiner) and Tiny Fey completely resisting the urge to laugh at Tracy flubbing his lines and being ridiculous. Also, Alec Baldwin and Tracy play a married couple. Genius.
3. My neighbours are stupid, but at least they were stupid while moving out. Good ridance. There's an epic story, but basically they are tools.
4. I am so completely blocked artistically right now. It's quite frightening. I just don't know how to make it better.
5. The Amazing Race is the greatest thing ever. But also the ugliest thing ever. Seriously. His Ox is broken.
6. My neighbour is getting so high right now that it smells like someone is smoking weed in the chair next to me.
7. Meet The Spartans. WTF.
8. Does anyone else want to see Cloverfield, or is it just me?

I don't really know what to do with myself about this whole Golden Globe winner for Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series - Musical Or Comedy situation. How can I even choose, never mind be upset or excited about the results? My fandoms have collided in a truly bewildering way.

Holy crap! This quote is awesome:
Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again. Rick Polito, Marin Independent Journal's TV listing for "The Wizard of Oz"
So awesome, especially if you've seen/read Wicked (and its sequel).

This meme is sweeping my flist, and since it's easy and fun:
1.The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
