Summary: I was wondering if someone could write a story where Jim and Pam don't end up together in the end... Maybe how they influenced one another to change something about themselves for the better.  Angsty, with a bit of hope for their futures.

Summary:

This challenge was suggested by Azlin.

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.

In Season 2, Sexual Harassment, Toby states that office relationships are never a good idea, to which Phylliss responds, "Even a one-night stand?"

Summary: This challenge idea was submitted by McGigi.

Two employees met before landing their job at Dunder-Mifflin, but they don't remember ever crossing paths.


Categories: Jim and Pam, Other, Past Characters: None
Summary:

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 ;-) )

Summary: I know this sounds cheesy, but y'all are creative and someone can make it work. Jim and Pam have a moment in the rain. Define "moment" any way you want - romantic, angsty, comical, etc.

Summary: This challenge was suggested by Stele.

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?

Summary:

Suggested by ilovetoJAM.

No one (that I know of, correct me if I'm wrong) has written a fic about Jim taking the job & moving to New York with Karen and how/if Pam would react to that. In my thoughts, it would talk about right after The Job when Jim leaves (again) and what Pam does. Then maybe two years later, Pam gets a job at corporate as a graphic designer and they are reunited..

Summary: Since I lack the ability write stories I issue this challenge...Jim and Pam on a road trip. I don't know where they are going or when it takes place. It is all up to you.
Categories: Jim and Pam Characters: Jim, Jim/Pam, Pam
Summary:

What if the office was robbed while everyone was still there? Let your imagination run wild.

Suggestions: This can be set in any season, with any or all of our beloved office characters. How would Dwight really react in a life or death situation? Would everyone be held hostage for a time or would they spring into action right from the start? Who would protect whom in the event of a life and death situation? would Kevin protect his jar of candy or would he be the first to protect his beloved accounting team? If Pam is the first person to see the robbers coming is she in the most danger or can she hide first and try to close the door before they get in? Be creative.

Summary:

I may just be pepped up from seeing a live production of Rocky Horror picture show, but I think it would be fabulous to issue the challenge of The Office does Rocky Horror.  I have visions of Michael as Dr. Frank N. Furter, and Dwight in sexy black camisoles and fishnets that absolutely must be indulged.  How about it? ;)
