2024-25 MTT Hosting FunRaiser

This summer the MTT archive turned 18 years old and it's thanks to our loyal readers and writers we're still around and active!

Our annual hosting bill is coming up soon and unfortunately our host does not accept schrutebucks or stanley nickels. Our short-term goal of $200 will cover the big hosting bill due in November, and our full goal of $350 will cover all the archive's costs for the year. If we're lucky enough to raise anything beyond that, it will go to next year's bill.

Update 12/2: Thanks to your amazing generosity we reach our year goal and already have a start on next year! We welcome contributions year round so if you want to help make our bill in 2025 a little less daunting you can continue to use any of the methods detailed below.

Thank you to our contributors in 2024!

I'm not in the US, can I still contribute?

Tis the Season! (for Holiday Fics)
We're a mere month away from Christmas Eve and you know what that means: time for some Holiday Fics!
A similar but more casual take on the secret Santa Santa fic exchanges of the past, everyone is invited to submit some Holiday/Winter elements they'd like to see in a fic. Elements can be things like objects and activities associated with this time of year, a quote or a song lyrics, or even themes and plot points like Jim & Pam's first Christmas together or a Dunder Mifflin New Year's party etc.
Once we have a good variety of elements, we'll email/message any interested writers 5 elements with the challenge of including at least 3 in your fic (you also have the option of going Challenge mode, getting 8 elements and incorporating 5). The faster people submit elements the faster we can get a good list to send out to everyone so submit today!

Dundies and other news

The Dundies

It took a bit but the Dundies for last year are finally complete! Please check out the 2021 Dundies page for all the top stories, favorite moments, and the always entertaining Create Your Own Dundie awards!

Top Lists

The Top Lists are temporarily unavailable while we retool some of the parameters to improve them. Several sort options are available on the Titles Page if you are interested in looking at statistics like Most Reviews, Longest Word count etc. These sort options are available under the Most Recent/Alphabetical drop down.

Reminders on Multiple Accounts

At MTT we ask you do not create and use multiple accounts. If you are having issues accessing an account you already created or you want to change your penname, please contact the admins at MTT.Fanfic@gmail.com and detail your issue.

Anyone found to be creating multiple accounts (aka sockpuppet accounts) in order to inflate the review/rating numbers on their own or another user's stories or to gang up on/harass other members will face disciplinary action including possible deletion of submissions and temporary or permanent account suspension.

The 2020 MTT Dundie Awards 🏆
stories/406/images/greatdundiesyear.jpg

"Well I've been kinda going through a rough patch. The whole year actually." This Michael Scott quote pretty much sums up 2020, but one silver lining to this sh*tstorm of a year is quarantine and lockdowns led to lots and lots of great fanfic with over 240 new and updated stories!

As we've done the last couple years, we asked the MTT community to name a few of their favorites in many categories, plus create some recognition for their fellow MTTers. And this year, our member more than answered the call, so much so we've create a whole separate page!

Announcement: More Than That is now I Got Goosebumps!

It started with a look. It was a dark haired, hazel-eyed salesperson's first day at Dunder Mifflin Scranton. Two seconds around the branch manager and the decision to work here already seemed unwise. But a warm greeting from the reception desk made everything seem better. Her name was Pam, and with her honey curls, bright green eyes, soft laughter, the salesperson couldn't name it yet but it was a feeling like falling.

She bumbled a compliment about Pam's sweater, hoping she didn't sound as nervous as she felt. Pam innocently enough assumed Karen wanted her own cable-knit sweater but Karen was envisioning being wrapped up in that gray one with her.

TPam and Karen in Benihana Christmasheir spark was instant and undeniable, but their fate was sealed. Karen would be reduced to the angle of a love triangle, Pam would be denied the relationship she so needed and deserved. But what if there was a place they could live on, and become what there was so much potential to be?

We welcome you to "I Got Goosebumps", formerly "More Than That", the number one place for KaPam fanfiction. While for nearly 15 year our focus was on Jim and Pam, we felt it was time to move on and shift to this exciting couple that Jenna Fischer and Rashida Jones themselves called "adorable." So old friends and new lovers, welcome all to IGG!

~

Yes, IGG was for April Fool's of course, but there actually is some great KaPam stuff both old and new that we encourage you to read (and if you wanna set the mood you can read it in the KaPam theme )

Favorite Moment in a Fanfic

Cosa Nostra by Coley - Pam adding, “do not fall in love,” to the list in the most rom-com trope-y move of all time

Groundhog Nights by Comfect - Karen getting hit by a truck but then is fine the next day

Hello my Old Heart by Duchess Cupcake - when Jim shows Pam his online profile. When she asks him when he became so fuckable. Jim's Raya account and Pam introducing Jim and Danny to each other

How Not To by again18: “Hi,” I started, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. “My name is Pam Beesly. I’m an alcoholic. And I really, really don’t want to be one anymore.” and then she and Jim pour out their bottle of booze

I Heard Your Heart Say Love, Love, Love by JennaBennett - Michael holding the Team Pam sign in the window

Kind of Reckless by Coley - for burning the image of farmer Jim into my mind

Morning After by Comfect - Cutest Larisa Halpert

Office Space by Comfect - "And apparently he had mastered the art of talking and drinking through the same mouth at the same time (reportedly an ability they had gene-engineered into the inhabitants of Omicron Perseii VIII,"

Perfect Mess by JennaBennett - Kevin's protecting Pam from Roy

Ruin the Friendship by Duchess Cupcake - Pam and Jim finally hooking up again, Pam thinking about buying Katy a peace lily 

Serendipity by Sam - Jim proposed Pam, Jim and Pam's wedding night

Sing Gloria by warrior4 - The most references to RL in any fic ever

Snaps by again - the moment it was published, “Come back here and f*** me like a real man", Pam daring Jim to come back and f*** her like a real man AND THEN his follow through, and did I mention Snaps? Just... all of Snaps.

Stilettos and Broken Bottles - Every word … Don't make me pick just one moment there

Unwrapped by Coley: “Can I kiss you?”, when it was finally updated after that Cliffhanger kiss

When Pam Met Jim by Donnamour1969: Pam and Jim dancing at Micheal's mother's birthday party

Big Announcement! More Than That is now Yeah You Get It

For nearly 13 years MoreThanThat's focus has been Jim & Pam. But today we are announcing a big change. We will be shifting our focus to a different ship, someone we feel is Pam's true soulmate. No, not him. Not him either. Not her. Yes, it's Kelly's neighbor Alan! Pam + Alan, or "Pamalan" if you will. We will be rebranding as "Yeah, You Get It", a classic swoonworthy line from Alan.

You may be skeptical but here is evidence that this is Pam's true soulmate.

First off he's a cartoonist, so right away he and Pam have a ton in common. And he's serious about his art, he lives it, he even dreams in cartoons. Look at this pure talent flowing through him.

Alan's cartoon Freedom Fries

"Freedom Fries"? Topical! Truly this comic will be the next Doonsbury.

But just look at him.

Alan

That smoulder! Jim who?

And then the incredibly subtle chest glance.

Alan's subtle chest glance

Yum! Guys, definitely do this on blind dates in front of your date's friends, women love it!

Pam buttons

Pam's playing coy and buttoning up now but she will definitely be unbuttoning that shirt later tonight. When she goes to bed *wink* *wink*

What are your favorite Pamalan moments?

April Fools! If it wasn't obvious. But no we're JAM for life here, if you missed our silly Pamalan header you can click here .

Halloween Fanfic Contest 🎃🦇👻

~Voting for Reader's Choice is open now through November 12th! Click here for more details~

halloween contest banner

This month, MoreThanThat is holding a Halloween writing competition. We are asking writers to submit their Halloween themed stories to MTT during the month of October. Then at the start of November, we will have a vote for the Reader's Choice and Moderator's Choice. In addition to internet praise and jellybeans, these two winners will also receive prizes for realsies!

What kind of stories can I enter?

  • Your story should be at least 500 words long
  • Your story should be new and never published
  • Multi-chapter is ok but it needs to be completed and submitted by 11:59pm PDT on October 31
  • Any genre and rating is allowed and can feature any Office character, it only needs to be Halloween themed. (though fair warning, we mods do love our JAM)
  • And all stories should adhere to the regular MTT submission guidelines .

How Do I Enter My Story?

  • If you don't already have an account on the MTT fanfic archive, sign up for one .
  • Log in, go to My Account > Add New Story and submit your story. We ask that you state your entry is for the 2018 Halloween competition in the story summary to make sure it's categorized appropriately
  • If you are a new writer, your story will be held for a quick review to make sure formatting is okay, as long as there are no major issues you should see your story published shortly.
  • Once approved and published, a mod will add the entry to the Halloween 2018 Challenge.
What do the winners and participants get?*

The two winners will receive:

  • One Office-themed enamel pin
  • A photographic print of the winner's choice from our mod Ladama's RedBubble shop
  • plus a special banner on their stories!

In addition, all participants will get a Jim/Pam card or sticker of their choice featuring Ladama's work and a participant banner on their entries.

*MoreThanThat reserves the right to modify prizes depending on response and interest

Are there guidelines for reviewing the contest entries?

Contest entries will be published and viewable to everyone as authors submit them, therefore readers *can* add reviews and leave jellybeans and we want readers to feel free to do so. However readers should not leave overly biased or campaign-like reviews on contest entries.

Kinds of Language that's fine on the contest entries:

  • I really enjoyed this story!
  • You're a great author!
  • I liked how you did [x.y.z]
  • If I could suggest anything it would be [kind, constructive criticism]

Bias/Campaigning Language that will be modified or deleted:

  • This is hands down the BEST contest entry
  • You have my vote for best entry, no question!
  • Everyone better vote for you! If you don't win, something's wrong!
  • This entry sucks but people are going to vote for it anyway (<---stuff like this we would consider harassing and would take disciplinary action against the member) 
Admins will be closely monitoring reviews left on entries during the contest/voting period and will edit or possibly delete reviews that come across as blatantly bias or as campaigning for or against a particular entry. 

Contest FAQs

How will the winners be selected?
– We will have two winners, a reader’s choice and a moderator’s choice. Reader’s choice will be decided by a vote from registered readers (full voting details and voting forms will be posted on November 1), while the mods will deliberate among themselves on their choice.

Can I win both the Reader’s Choice and the Moderator’s Choice?
– Two different stories by two different writers will be selected.

Can I submit more than one story?
– You certainly can, but know that we are asking people to select their favorite story, not favorite writer, so you may end up splitting your own vote. Also an author can only win one prize, they cannot win both the Reader’s and Mod’s choices.

How "Halloweeny" does the story need to be?
– As little or as much as you want, Halloween or Halloween elements just needs to be worked in in some way. It can be an AU with some supernatural themes, it can be a full on suspense, or it can be just a regular day that happens to be Halloween (i.e. the Season 2 Halloween episode).

I have an old story that could fit this contest, can I submit that story?
– Stories should be new and never published to MTT or other fanfic sites.

My story is not quite 500 words long
– The 500 word minimum is more a guideline than a firm rule, what we most want from entries is for them to be well-written, so if they don’t quite clear the 500 word threshold, that’s okay, submit it anyway!

Is there a maximum word count limit on entries?
– We don't have a max word count, we want you to do your thing! That said, entries do need to be complete and submitted by the end of the month and when voting comes around we want our readers to be able to easily read all the entries to make an informed decision, so we suggest thinking more one-shot than novel.

Do I have to share my address with you to receive prizes?
– Yes, winners will need to provide an address for prizes to be sent to, and participants interested in receiving their small gift will also provide an address. We will not save addresses or use it for anything besides sending prizes.

Will you be able to send prizes to my country?
– This contest is open to any writer anywhere in the world and we are prepared to send prizes to a variety of countries. But if we are unable or if shipping is cost-prohibitive we will work with winners to find an equivalent arrangement.

Other Questions?
- If you still have questions, please contact us via the contact form, or email us at MTT.fanfic@gmail.com

Spring Updates and Upcoming!

Hey MTTers! Today marks the anniversary of the airing of Casino Night, which is really the reason MTT even exists so feels like a good thing to acknowledge.

 

 (still the prettiest, saddest scene!)

We're just over a 3rd of the way into 2018 and so far it's been pretty great! The Most Recent section has had a nice steady flow of new stories, Our new Author Of The Month selection criteria is ensuring all sorts of authors are getting the acknowledgement they deserve and we have a great community feel going thanks to the shoutbox, social media accounts and our Tuesday Splitting Up Together chats (which we learned today will continue into the next TV season!)

New Challenges!

To keep the new stories flowing, we have a "Challenges Challenge" where every few months we feature some story prompts that will hopefully inspire. And we give a little banner to anyone who answers the challenge! This round we are featuring:

  • Hospital JAM: Put Jim or Pam in the hospital and get the hurt/comfort going!
  • Sister, Sister: Write a story where Penny Beesly or Larisa Halpert plays a central role.
  • Danny & Pam: It's a DAM thing! Write about Pam's ill-fated relationship with the handsome salesman.

Plus writers are encouraged to look at the past challenges as well and see if they inspire!

Speaking of Larisa Halpert...

Though we never did actually meet Larisa, she was and still a commonly recurring character in stories and she was technically confirmed in canon as Jim's sister so we decided it's high time for her to get her own character tag! You can add Larisa to your list of characters by editing your story and selecting her in the character field.

Pam and Jim's wedding site - Now on MTT!

At MTT part of our goal is to help preserve the fandom for new and old fans to enjoy. One little bit of fandom was Pam & Jim's wedding site, which was a fun little NBC promotion and sadly could only be found with the Wayback Machine - until now! We dug through the internet archive and brought as much of the content as we could to our blog, so if you're dying to know what fun stuff there is to do Niagara, Pam's wedding cost-saving tips or what Meredith said in their guestbook, check it out here: Pam & Jim's Wedding Site

Supporting MTT

While we are a couple months out from our hosting bill being due, we do welcome contributions any time to help us get a head start on next year's costs. You can find out more about how to contribute on our Donate page.

What we're working on

Here are just a few things in the works at MTT: a Jim/Pam info page (hopefully reducing your dunderpedia visits!), a month of fic recommendation, and another writing challenge for prizes! So make sure to stop by often (or sign up for our newsletter for email updates!)

Author of the Month changes, March JAM Madness and more!

For the last year and a half or so we've been selecting an author of the month every month to showcase their stories. We have mostly focused on selecting authors who were less well-known and perhaps overlooked back in the day. However now that we are more active, we will be changing up who and how we select AOTMs. We are still going to follow the basic guideline of selecting authors with at least 5 stories, but we will now follow this basic pattern:

Month 1: a recently active author
Month 2: an all-time popular author
Month 3: a lesser known or over-looked author

and repeat! We also want readers input on who they think should be the next AOTm, which you can so via the contact form.

March JAM Madness

Just for fun we are running March JAM Madness at our instagram. We're pitting some of the top JAMtastic episodes against each other and seeing who earns the title of top JAMisode! Voting takes place via our story on instagram .

March JAM Madness

Newsletter Sign-up

Whether you are a member or not, you can sign up for our email newsletters ! You can also sign up for monthy fanfic digests to your inbox and for live chat reminders.

Challenges Challenge

There's still time take part in this quarter's challenges! We encourage you to write a Vegas story, a behind-the-scenes of Michael's movie Threat Level Midnight and many others! We also area always interesting in new ideas for challenges. Please click here for more info

And that about does it! Remember check out all these features and contact us with any problems or suggestions!

Will you take on the (Challenges) Challenge?

Happy Autumn everyone! This October, we are introducing a new feature: the Challenges Challenge!

How it works: Every 3 months we will introduce a handful of challenges, which are story prompts or themes. We'll have a combo of admin choices, an old challenge that went unanswered and maybe a Reader's challenge as well! Write a story for one of the challenges and your story will earn a little banner. But really this is just meant to be a way to keep writer's inspired and keep new stories coming! You can find more info and how to enter on this page: Challenges Challenge

Here are the challenges for Q4 2017:

  • Bad Date (JAM style): Jim and Pam have a terrible first date (but he still buys a ring a week later)
  • "Nice Morning, too" : What did Jim & Pam get up to that inspired the talking head at the start of S9E21 "Living The Dream" *wink wink*
  • Life In Austin: Write a story about Pam and Jim's life in the Texas capital
  • High School Reunion : write about any character's high school reunion

None of these getting your creative juices flowing? Send in your suggestions for challenges and we'll consider them for the next round!

Favorites: now at least 30% more useful! (and other news)

If you've been on MTT for a while, you have probably accumulated a decent Favorites list. And you have probably been annoyed at the lack of versatility the favorites list offered especially when browsing.

Though we have a ways to go before we'll be truly happy with favorites, we have taken the first big step: you can now browse and filter your favorite stories. Like when you browse elsewhere on the site, you can select certain characters, genres, categories, etc and you can order by title, length, most recent, and more!

You will find links to this browseable list in your account and under the Browse menu. If you want to see your comments on a story or edit/remove from favorites, you still have to go through the old "Manage Favorite" option but we hope to get these streamlined into the browseable manage favorites list soon!

ETA: We have also improved the page after you save favorites so you can easily return to where you were browsing.

Additionally, we have added several new Top Lists to help you discover more fics on the site!

In other news: a sincere thank you to everyone who has contributed during our Hosting FunRaiser! We are only $10 from our goal to be completely covered for the year. There's still time to contribute and get us to our goal and get a headstart on next year!

Next, we know navigating the site is a little intimidating for newbie (and perhaps for older members also) so we are working on some quick guides (complete with photos) on things like tips for getting the most of our this site, explaining features, how to add images, etc. We want to hear from members what they think could use a visual quick guide. We also want to hear in general what you'd like to see on the site and what could use improvement, so please comment here or in an email send us your thoughts.

If you haven't checked out the shoutbox yet, we put it up for members to say hey and interact so please don't be shy: ask questions, share interesting Office tidbits, say hi to your fellow MTTers, whatever you'd like! (also we may try to organize a live chat soon, so please keep an eye on the shoutbox)

Not totally News, but just wanted to say: people have been utilizing the new jellybean feature which is great, we worked hard on it and want to see it used. That said, we want to emphasis that reviews are truly the fuel of fanfiction, they are the easiest and best way to show an author their work is being read and appreciated, they are absolutely free, and they are great little motivators for authors. Even if you don't feel like you have anything particularly interesting to say, we can tell you for a fact authors love getting (positive) reviews.

Thank you for reading and for being great members!

It is our birthday.

 funraising! If you can believe it, July 9th marks MTT's 11th birthday! An all new MTT admin team took over last year with the goal of bringing the site up to date, adding some new features and get activity going again. And with new themes, the Download ePub feature, our Valentine's day contest, new social media accounts, and the just-launched jellybean system, we think 2016-17 was a success!

Of course, today being our birthday also means that MTT's annual hosting bill is due this month. So if you would like to give us something, you can give the awesome gift of a contribution to the site! A contribution of $10+ will earn you a small JAM gift, but every dollar is sincerely appreciated! You can read the full details of our annual funraiser here. FUNRAISER EXTENDED THROUGH AUGUST!

If you can't give monetarily but still want to make a contribution, you can do so by submitting new stories, leaving reviews and jellybeans, following and liking our social media, interacting with fellow fans, making recommendation to friends, etc. Anything to keep MTT the great place for PB&J and Office fans that it is is your gift to us every day!

Now onto our next year!

Introducing Jellybeans!

For 11 years the archive has used star ratings. It's simple in theory, give a story a rating of 1 to 5 stars, but in practice it really hasn't been that useful. One author may feel 3 stars is a solid rating, another may feel it's an insult. One reader may reserve 5 stars for only their absolute favorites, another may give 5 stars to everything they review. One story may only have one 5-star rating, another may have 20, and they are listed the same.

So today we bid farewell to the star rating system and say hello to something we think will be more straight forward and useful: jellybeansjellybean icon! Much like a "like" or a "kudos", readers can leave a jellybean as a small token on stories they enjoyed.

After deciding to switch to jellybeans, the next conundrum of course was deciding how beans will be distributed. If a user is allowed to only leave one per story, the newer stories have no chance of catching up with older ones. If one per chapter is allowed then that puts one-shots and short stories at a disadvantage. Taking all this into consideration, we have decided that users can leave up to 5 jellybeans on a story. So if you like a story, give it a jellybean, if you really like it, give it a couple more, if you absolutely love it, take the time to give it 5!

Though we always want to encourage reviews, you can leave jellybeans without reviewing. You can click on the jellybean count of a story to see who has left jellybeans. Hopefully this goes without saying but there should be no fighting, begging or complaining about the jellybeans. It's meant to be a simple way for readers to give and writer to receive feedback.

We now return you to your reading, don't forget to start leaving those jellybeanjellybean icon!

MTT Forum Relaunch!

In our recent survey, many members expressed a desire for way to interact with each other beyond reviews and such. Though we had set up a community of sorts on the blog the consensus seemed to be it was cumbersome and difficult to navigate. We agree as so we're heading a back to basics and relauching the MTT forums. They have a more traditional forum look but should be easier to get around and highly mobile friendly!

Right now, registration is by invite only and we prefer if you already registered here on the archives. If you'd like to join please let us know through the contact form or in an email to MTT.fanfic@gmail.com.

If you are one of the couple dozen people who registered on the previous community you are already registered and your email/username and password for login should be the same!

If I'm registered on the archive, why do I have to register on the forum too?
They are two different software systems and sadly we don't have the technical know-how to link them. But you should be able to pick your name username and even same password if you'd like.

Come join us today!

Beta Reader Program Relaunched!

We have officially rebooted our Beta Reader system at MTT!

You can read all about it on this page, but here is the general gist:

To become a beta:

To find a beta:

  • You can see who is listed as Beta Reader on the archive, click on profile, read their beta-reader form and see if anyone is a good fit for your story.
  • If they seem like a good fit, contact them via the “contact author” link on the MTT archive (or however they listed that they prefer to be contacted)
  • You can also state in the notes of your stories that you are looking for a beta, this will often attract reader who are willing to look things over.

Some Ground Rules for Betas and Authors

  • If you contact a beta reader for your story and they say (politely) that they cannot be your beta, accept it and move on, likewise for betas who reach out to authors that say no thanks.
  • Make it very clear what you expect from the beta process! The more details you share with each other before you start, the better the beta process will go.

That’s enough for now, as mentioned before, you can read the full beta page. Comments can be directed to the Find a Beta thread , through the contact form or in an email to MTT.Fanfic@gmail.com
