AHHHHHH! This was great. An awesome way to get it all out there. And an interesting peek into this bizarre world of on-line chat I keep hearing about ;) heeeee.
Author's Response: Awwww - thanks for reading it and leaving comments, Clare!! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you liked it!!

this is looking good. write more. quite your job or drop of school or something, just write more.
Author's Response: haha! I wish I could do nothing but write fanfic for Jim and Pam all day - but I'll keep up as best as I can!! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!

Fun story! It figures that I'd be having to go to class. ; )
Author's Response: Yes, you and those silly classes!! I promise you'll be around for more in the future!!

I am really enjoing this, Moxie. It is so true that someone who knows me IRL would likely be completely surprised to see my IM or LJ conversations. Not that they're scandalous or anything, but its just that everyone's a little freer, more irreverent, more unfiltered via the semi-anonymity of the internet.
Methinks that the Love_stinks crew may be on to Mr. Wonderful, given his ungraceful/impolite exit from the chat room immediately after WD. We'll see...
More, please!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading and reviewing - I'm happy to know that you agree with my basic premise about the internet making us all alittle braver than perhaps we'd be in person. And yes, Jim's going to have to be a lot more careful than he's been so far if he wants to keep the charade up......

But he knew it would be the last one, whether through her decision or his. It was time to work on simplifying his life.
Kick ass! Soon please... I so love this premise!
Author's Response: Well, nothing good can happen with Karen still holding on - so she'll be gone sooner rather than later, I think....
Date: March 05, 2007 01:05 pm Title: Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
Moxie -- you are an evil genius!!! Love Jim's little parenthetical thoughts through this. This totally sounds like them -- unable to spit out the freaking truth in person! And the whole dilemma of snooping, finding out something amazing, but having to pretend you don't know about it -- ouch!
And forgetting to pick up Karen? How very Freudian! Yup, that'll pretty much ensure that another talk is coming. If only GD&Co would take ONE of the eighty gazillion ways y'all have invented to get rid of Karen, I would be a very happy person.
Again, bless you for this diversion, I will try to be good and not demand frequent updates. Try.
Author's Response: Heh - I won't hold you to that, Lisahoo! Your "reminders" helped me get MTLGtM done! I'm so glad you approve of this story so far....!

Loved the chat room scene. Great discussion.
Author's Response: Thanks, gotkona! There will definitely be more chat room scenes to come!

Holy God! I don't think I've ever laughed out loud a a fic QUITE as heartily as this line --
WalkingDisaster> Oh yeah, I've SO got him. That's why he told me to have fun in here tonight, as opposed to him suggesting he and I go have fun in my bedroom. ;-)
WOW! And with Jim in there listening!!! I literally flopped over in laughter. And then, you know, thanked God I'm home alone!
Oh man, and this!!!
WalkingDisaster> - See? Point proven. I'm sorry Lokien accused you of being a fickle heartbreaker, Squirrel.
Ouch!
I'm absolutly in love with this story! Can't wait to see more!
Author's Response: Oh, I'm delighted it made you laugh, SixFlightsUp!!! Hope you continue to enjoy!! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

i love this story. gives me a nice break from avoiding work.
in elementary school, one of my teachers used to have a sign that had a big circle and said bang head here. trust me, i feel like i need that sign way to often.
and it sucks that online life can't equal real life .
okay, really must get off now. avoiding homework can't wait forever
Author's Response: Yeah, I know that feeling of BANG HEAD HERE. Glad you don't feel that way about this story though!!

Jim forgetting to pick up Karen? Excellent! He's got more important things on his mind after all! Evolving is overrated. He needs to devolve. Keep it going, Mox!
Author's Response:
Yeah, was that too mean? [Pam] I will keep writing until I reach the "Happy Ending" we all want - and I think you know what I'm talking about!!! But Jim's going to have to sweat it out a bit first for being so cheeky....
Date: March 05, 2007 12:46 pm Title: When the evening is spread out against the sky
You just...well...you keep me in stitches over here! Squirrel McPants. Sometimes I wonder what really goes on in that head of yours! ;-)
Author's Response: hahaha - we both know you really DON'T want to know the answer to that!!! (Hint: there's a lot of jim halpert clothes all over the floor...)
Date: March 05, 2007 12:34 pm Title: Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
hee. the next time we actually *have* a show to watch my mind will be constantly calling him squirrel mcpants. that is just the best name for jim ever. again, i cannot wait for the next installment! :)
Author's Response: Yes, I'm afraid I've created a monster with that name, but it's just SOO Jim. It is. :-) Thanks for continuing to read along!!
Date: March 05, 2007 11:48 am Title: When the evening is spread out against the sky
Oh man, this has so so many possibilities--I can't WAIT for more!
Author's Response: Thanks, Dinkin! Hope you enjoy Chapter 2!!
Date: March 05, 2007 11:17 am Title: When the evening is spread out against the sky
HEE! That was adorably cute(and totally stalkery and SO something I would do.) I can't wait to see what happens next!
I think my favorite thing about the story is, oddly enough, Karen. Because I like to think that Karen is like the Pam Gestapo to Jim, and this? EXACTLY how I would like their relationship to be on the show. Awesome job!
Author's Response: Yes, I can't help but see Karen as some sort of guard with Jim, and it irks me to no end that he lets her get away with it. It's his fear of being alone that makes him put up with it, I think. Once he knows he can have pam, I doubt he'll stand for it any longer....I hope!!

HA! I LOVE YOU! squirrel mcpants. awesome. and a great premise too. so many possibilities. i am *very* much looking forward to this one. :0)
Author's Response: Thanks, ficklevillain! I hope to provide as much entertainment as possible as we wait out this hiatus!!!!

Too cute and such a great idea Mox! Awww. Mr. Wonderful.
Author's Response:
It's going to get less cute when Pam starts telling the group what she really thinks of "Mr. Wonderful". ;-)
(just kidding..!)
Thanks for being a trusty reader and reviewer!!!!

OMG, can I already be addicted to a story? Because I certainly am! Knowing you, I won't have to wait long between updates, thank God!
Author's Response: I shall try to supply you with another dose of addiction as soon as possible, Luna! And I appreciate your reading and reviewing!!!!!

I love how you've managed to take one of the creepiest and most dispressing poems of all time and make such a cute and fun story out of it. I am completely looking forward to this. Seriously.
And "Mr. Wonderful"? Dude, no joke.
So great :) I can't wait to read the rest!
Author's Response: ha - I've always found that poem to be strangely appealling to me, so I couldn't help but try and work a bit of it in. Hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!
Date: March 05, 2007 03:22 am Title: When the evening is spread out against the sky
Great story idea, Mox! Methinks in the anonymity of the chat room, our Ms. Beesly can be quite FANCY and NEW. I'm willing to bet Jim is gonna learn quite a bit! Hoping here for many chapters to get us through the long month of March!
Author's Response: Oh, you are SO correct in your thinking, EverybodyHurts!! Ms. Beesly holds back nothing in her chats, feeling as she does that she's surrounded by anonymous friends...... sneaky!jim is in for quite a bit before this is all said and done....
Date: March 05, 2007 12:20 am Title: When the evening is spread out against the sky
OMG! What will Jim type next!? I can't wait to find out. Really, really fun, Moxie! I think I like sneaky Jim.
The first few paragraphs are a great look into the mind of Jim.
"But the static of their fears, their anger, and the other people they've dragged in to hide behind has made it almost impossible to see it."
Love it! And can't wait for an update...
Author's Response: sneaky!jim is so fun to write - I think he'll soon discover he should be careful about what he wishes for.. Thank so much for your comments, I was worried the beginning was lagging, but I thought it was important to state his mindset, so we understand why he decided to snoop...
Date: March 04, 2007 11:26 pm Title: When the evening is spread out against the sky
Two words-- beyond excited.
... Okay, I lied. More words are necessary. I can't wait to see what happens next because this is just the perfect situation for Jim! I think he's been too afraid to let himself believe the real reason that Pam left Roy, and maybe once he figures out that he's Mr. Wonderful....
Squee!
Author's Response: LOL - quit peeking ahead at the coming chapters!! I hope to make the story fun, but a bit bumpy for our Mr. Wonderful - after all, he is being a bit sneaky, isn't he??
