Hello faithful readers of my fanfiction. This is a message to you all. I have been struggling with the next installment of this story. Fear not, I have not fallen off the face of the planet, just a really bad case of writer's block.

I just want to give a big thank you to those of you who have read and reviewed this fiction. It means a lot that you have enjoyed my weird sense of humor. Trust me, it's not as appreciated as it is here than among my family. I hope to have an update on this fiction very soon. Cross your fingers, pray to Budda, whomever, just get me out of this funk!!!

In efforts to try to get out of my funk myself, (whew, don't say that five times fast!) I have joined forces with ktface3 and have created a joint account filled with upcoming stories. We are in progress of one right now, 'Four Obscure Office Secrets'. It's a five-things fiction. Trust me, it's filled with hilarity, angst and heart. We will not disappoint. Look for update with that story every few days, as we both will be posting chapters. We also have a few episode fics up our sleeves, so look out for those as well. I also recommand to stop by our joint acccount: MBTandKT for more information about us and why we have come togother to create Office masterpieces, and yes we are very full of ourselves. LOL.

Also, to help myself, I have started yet another story. The first and second chapter will be posted in the following days. It is entitled, "The Trial". I got the idea from a interview with Steve Carell and I thought I would take a stab at it. Michael has to report for jury duty and is gone from the office for a week. Michael, who has been called for jury duty before is the foreman and has his own way of getting things done. Meanwhile, at the office where Michael Scott is not present, Dwight suspects thievery is afoot and blames the most unassuming person imaginable, Phyllis. With Jim and the other reluctant employees of Dunder-Mifflin, they hold a trial of their own to prove Phyllis' innocence and get out of work for yet another week. With Dwight and Andy as legal counselors and Jim as the Judge, it is sure to be yet another classic mishap at the ever-changing paper company.

I hope you will read MBTandKT's fic and read my new fic, "The Trial". Again, I as well as KT are very appreciative of your readership and hope that you will continue to stay loyal through my horrible writer's block. When I do update, and I will, you will be the first to know... seeing as you will receive an email. If you haven't signed on for an alert, do so.

Thanks again, and as always, we love reviews. Please fill free to write a review for our joint fic or my new one. We will personally reply. If you have any suggestions for writer's block, you may leave PMs at either account.

From your humble servent of hiliarious fanfiction,

Cher (MrsBigTuna)
