This isn't totally Jim/Pam-centric, but how about how some of the things in S1 or S2 might have happened differently if Andy were around? I'm thinking "Booze Cruise"/"The Secret", but also Christmas & Valentine's Day. Either with or without the relationship with Angela. Whatever works for you.

I'd really like to see some stuff on Jim and Pam in a different decade. Can't you just imagine hippie 60's Pam and Disco 70's Jim? Or better yet, 80's hair band Jim? I just think it'd be cute to see them written in to the common ideas about those periods in time, or even how they get through some tough situations together. I can see it now...Nurse Pam taking care of wounded soldier Jim in World War II...*sigh*

Pam (and Karen, Katy, etc...) are in an Arabian harem. Jim somehow invades the cloistered area of the harem. The rest is up to you.
I'd like to see an in canon bad first date. Pam stated that her worst first date was her first date with Roy where he left her at a hockey game. I'd like to read the first date between Jim and Pam taking that title. But! I'd like it to be in canon, where Jim still manages to buy a ring about a week later. So how do they get over that first date that went so poorly

Inspired by a mean old threat from the always glorious Moxie. Show us your worst: literally -- create an absolutely horrid Office fanfic, and share it with us. Remember the DVD commentary from "The Alliance," which remarked that Steve Carell has a very cool job because he needs to spend a freakish amount of time coming up with jokes that aren't funny......now you can, too!
Dwight once said to Jim, "I bet if you tried, you could grow the best beard of anyone in this office." And as we know JKras can indeed grow a great beard, so I challenge you to write a story centered around Jim growing a beard (and Pam's reaction to it ;-) ). Set it during any time-frame, post-series is always welcome because there just needs to be more post series fics, but sometime during the series may also be fun. And here's some visual references if you need them .

I’d love to read a Jim and Pam bubble bath fic. Make of that what you want, it doesn’t have to be smutty - it could be cute. Hell it doesn’t even have to be Jim AND Pam, it could be Jim giving their baby their first bath or Jim running Pam a bubble bath after a crappy day… see, I’m not fussy.

What was Pam going to ask Jim after the Dundies, before she remembered the cameras? What happens in an alternate universe when she actually asks it?
What if Conan O'Brien had stayed in the office instead of going to the Emmys? Would he get a job, if any, at Dunder-Mifflin? Would Jim get jealous of Conan and Pam's sexual tension? Would Dwight plot revenge on Jim for making Conan fall out of the ceiling?
This idea was suggested by SaraBell.
What would Jim be like as a father? He could either be with Pam or someone else. Would he be strict or help his kids with pranks?
This challenge idea was sent in by Shannon.
At Phyllis' and Bob's wedding, Jim commented upon Pam's dancing skills. Write a story explaining how Jim found out that Pam is a dorky dancer.
Can someone please make a story about Danny & Pam's dates? I would totally loveee that.

The show ended with hours of deleted scenes, and with them countless story opportunities! Write a story that expands on a deleted scene in some way. Keep it canon-compliant or use the deleted scene as a jump-off to a whole canon-divergent story. (If you don't have the DVDs, we have posted some of the more JAMmy deleted scenes to our Tumblr )

Jim's doing up the house he bought for him and Pam. Kind of a basic challenge idea I know, but just the thought of DIY Jim makes me tingle.
When Pam hears Jim took the job in New York, she applies to Pratt Art School and gets accepted shortly after.
An AU takes places after "The Job".

We've all read our share of babyfic's. Write a story about Jim and Pam's son/daughter's leaving for college and/or their experiences while there, as well as how Mom and Dad are doing back home.
Write a story using this Jack Kerouac haiku as prompt:
Evening coming -suggested by Eers02
Jim asking Pam's dad (or mom and dad together) for Pam's hand in marriage. I think it was mentioned in a few of the post-WL stories, but I want to read about the event itself. You know Jim is the romantic type of guy who would do such a thing. Did he pop the question to her folks on the sly when Pam was around, or while she was away at Pratt? Via phone call or visit in person? How would they react after their daughter's first never-ending engagement?/Remember, Pam's folks supposedly live a few hours away from Scranton, so it would be extra effort for Jim to drive all the way to wherever-it-is to ask.

I can't be the only one curious about the incident just off Exit 17 at the infamous Fairview rest stop.
