Why this must be read:

The most unique fic in this fandom, in my humble opinion. If this show is a documentary, someone has to edit it, right? How do you turn all those hours and hours of everyday life into twenty minute chunks of a story? Amazingly well done and interesting, and along the way it turns into something bigger, this examination of stories and reality and how they intersect. Also maybe the best oc ever.

"You cut the three weeks of stilted misery after Michael’s awful attempt at conflict resolution. And when you splice it all back together, carefully layering interview clips over silent scenes it’s something else. It’s the prettiest sort of tragedy, it’s the blackest sort of comedy, it’s nothing like real life."

This is a terrific rec, and an amazing fic. You're right to suggest it's probably the most unique in the fandom and features one of the best oc's. The whole idea of the show being put together by unseen hands is great, and I love girlintheattic's writing style. Thanks for the rec!
