Jim comes back to Scranton, but without Karen. Will our Jim & Pam still find their way to each other? Who/what will be Jim's shield? Or will everything be resolved much more quickly?
Suggested by Strider.
Use the quote and write a story around it. Any characters, any time frame. (Less than 700 words would be preferred)
"Yes, it’s me. And no, I’m not dead."

Write a story about The Office as one of the characters on The Office. Like maybe Dwight would write a story in which he saves the entire office from a fiery inferno via his until-now-latent superpowers. Or Kelly might write herself in as a Mary Sue who gets all the guys, but has to choose and eventually picks Ryan and marries him and they have lots of babies. We've already seen Michael's version of himself as a secret agent, so it's possible the other characters are writing things that are just as um... "creative" while they're supposedly selling paper.
We've already seen where Phyllis spends her time.*
*Yes, I know that is TWoP, but it sure looks like MTT.
Jim and Pam are having a conversation that they think is private, but someone somewhere is listening. It could be happening after hours in the office, at a moment when they mistakenly think their microphones are off, at a drive-through window,...
Jim and Pam team up in the 1st annual Dunder-Mifflin paintball tournament out at Dwight's beet farm.
What if Pam was the one who had transferred to Stamford instead of Jim?
Suggested by Emily.
Write a fic that has Mrs. Beesly's as one of the main characters, either written from her point of view or maybe through phone conversations with Pam. Her thoughts on Roy and/or Jim would be interesting.
Pam found out she's pregnant. What happens when she lets the rest of the office know?
Suggested by JennInTheCity.
In "Chair Model," Jim lists several of Pam's quirks (messy, klutzy and spills everything, keeps the TV too loud) as reasons why she might not be a good roommate. How did Jim come across these quirks? And what other Pam quirks has he discovered?

The Phillies are in the World Series for the first time since Jim was a teenager (1993) - and they WON! How will he and Pam celebrate?

In Season 2, Sexual Harassment, Toby states that office relationships are never a good idea, to which Phylliss responds, "Even a one-night stand?" Use your creativity, ranging anywhere from Bob Vance, to Creed Bratton. Tell us about this mysterious hook up that was never truly explained on the show. Good luck!

Write a story based on this quote by Germaine Greer
"The essence of pleasure is spontaneity."

After The Job, Jim and Pam don't go on their date, but not because Jim didn't ask. Write a story where Jim and Pam don't quite make it on their date, but still get together.
Two employees met before landing their job at Dunder-Mifflin, but they don't remember ever crossing paths.
With his public speaking skills and frequent coordination and leading of coworkings in activities like Office Olympics and fire drill games, Jim seems like a natural teacher. And while there are a few stories with a Jim as a teacher, there should be way more, because there just should be. So write a story about Professor Halpert, especially one that including a relationship with pretty student/teaching assistant/fellow prof Pam Beesly. And of course butting heads with Prof Schrute for good measure. (For a little inspiration here’s John’s recent commencement speech at Brown, and you can seek out him earning an honorary doctorate for other academic visuals ;-) )
This idea was suggested by Raj.
How would the Dunder-Mifflinites answer the infamous Proust Questionnaire? Use any version of the questionnaire you wish. Here is an example.
The documentary airs and it becomes something of a reality TV hit, as everyone in fake TV land becomes as fanatic as we in real TV land. The story opens just after "Casino Night" has aired, complete with the confession & the kiss. Time has passed between the moment when that was filmed and the airdate. Jim and Pam are not together. I'll let you decide the circumstances. So, what happens? How does Jim deal with having his heart broken in front of everyone? Does Pam come by to visit? Do they re-establish contact? Is Jim mobbed by a huge crowd of weeping women and carried off to Utah for a polygamous mass wedding?
