Date: April 18, 2007 11:58 pm Title: Not Ready to Forgive

I feel better

I really like Karen with Jackson. They're good together, with all the verbal sparring and such. Go for him, Karen!
And I love this from Dwight: "Fact. Jim left the office in a hurry and Pam followed him with a can of grape soda which is universally known as their peace offering.”
Fabulous.

So excited to find out what's happening on the roof! Enjoying this! And loving your creation, Jackson!
Date: April 18, 2007 02:30 pm Title: World's Worst Car Ride....Ever
Loving Jealous! Jim and Jackson's not so bad, himself! Really enjoying Jim's thoughts about the scene unfolding in his car... and how he's watching everyone's emotions unfold.
Date: April 18, 2007 02:23 pm Title: The Arrangement
Just catching up with this piece now, and am so excited by the direction it is taking (lunch with Jim, Karen, Pam and Jackson!?). Totally excited there are so many chapters for me to read!
Date: April 18, 2007 01:50 pm Title: It Would Be Easier to Move On if I Didn't Love You So Much
Wow! Who knew I'd love Jealous!Jim sooo much?? Mostly I just think it's good for him. I love Jim as much as the next red-blooded American housewife (so much in fact, that my best FRIEND had a dream I was kissing Jim) but I do hate it when he's mean to Pam. Somehow jealous of Jackson is way easier to take than jealous of Roy. Or maybe it's Pam with Jackson that's easier to take. Either way, I'm lovin' it!!
Date: April 18, 2007 12:39 pm Title: Not Ready to Forgive
I really hate it when Karen is vilified (sp?) in fics, so I love the image of her handing Pam a tissue. Great start.
Date: April 18, 2007 12:32 pm Title: Do I Smell Like Garlic?
Interesting that Jackson looked at Karen a bit disapprovingly for flirting, but then was so friendly. I loved the garlic line.
Author's Response: i think. for now. that he just feels bad for her....we will see now won't we. thanks for reading!
Date: April 18, 2007 12:31 pm Title: Do I Smell Like Garlic?
“We’re in the mob.”
OMG!! perfect plot point!!!! Jim's gonna get whacked. I love it. Hee.
Thanks so much for this!
cheers.

so precious. i think you're going in the right direction with this. pam and jim, jackson and karen. i can give jackson up to her. i'm not quite so invested in his love life :)
Date: April 18, 2007 12:20 pm Title: Do I Smell Like Garlic?
Hee. I like Karen here. Can't wait for the update!
Date: April 18, 2007 12:14 pm Title: Do I Smell Like Garlic?
Still good. Jackson's still dreamy. Karen's sympathetic (even if she is a mob princess.) Better yet, Pam's head is on Jim's shoulder, where it belongs - nice call back to one of the all time great Office images (I fully embrace my inner sap, thank you very much.)
Date: April 18, 2007 12:07 pm Title: Do I Smell Like Garlic?
I love Karen and Jackson together, and how he knows she has a Thing for him. And awwww they have the ethnicity thing in common! I see them falling in love and moving to the Village and having lots of dark-complected babies. Please?
And Dwight timing Jim's visit to Pam's desk and knowing the significance of the grape soda was classic.
Love the quick update! More, please!
Date: April 17, 2007 09:25 pm Title: It Would Be Easier to Move On if I Didn't Love You So Much
Man. As much as I've loved your other fics, I have been jonesing for a little Jackson lately.
It is so in character for Pam to be most upset by the favorite movies, and for Jim to notice -and be bothered by the significance of- the song on her phone. That he feels a little bad playing up his weekend with Karen (but glad that he got a reaction) but that he is physically sickened by her convo with Jackson (when she's doing the same thing) I thought was awesome too. And the fact that Pam recognized his reaction and went to the roof to (sorta) comfort and reassure him... *love*
More, please. Now that Fool's Bargain and Hey Jealousy are finished, this fic has hopped to the top of my "stalking eagerly awaiting updates" list, along with Squirrel.
Date: April 17, 2007 08:18 pm Title: It Would Be Easier to Move On if I Didn't Love You So Much
Okay, this is my new FAVE story!
Date: April 17, 2007 08:08 pm Title: World's Worst Car Ride....Ever
Jim who?! Jackson is AWESOME!
Date: April 17, 2007 07:36 pm Title: It Would Be Easier to Move On if I Didn't Love You So Much
YAY!! You wrote more! I love this story so much and cannot wait for Jackson to return!
Date: April 17, 2007 06:27 pm Title: It Would Be Easier to Move On if I Didn't Love You So Much
Aw, I love it. So telling that they can get to each other like that, but they're always drawn back together. As much as I like Jackson, he's not who Pam's meant to be with. Great job with this.
Date: April 17, 2007 06:03 pm Title: It Would Be Easier to Move On if I Didn't Love You So Much
I'm not sure how we went from hurting to healing in a few minutes... And how does she know he needs aspirin? I'm confused...
Author's Response: I think she just assumed asprin would be helpful. And basically they can't hurt each other for very long without doing a little healing too (like in the show there are only so many hurtful moments before each healing one). Just my thoughts, thanks for reading!
Date: April 17, 2007 05:58 pm Title: It Would Be Easier to Move On if I Didn't Love You So Much
aw! that was cute...the end of this chapter, that is.
Date: April 17, 2007 05:57 pm Title: It Would Be Easier to Move On if I Didn't Love You So Much
Okay, is it horribly bad that I:
a) love Jealous!Jim
b) am totally in love with Jackson
and c) thinking that Pam/Jackson is my new OTP?
Because I do. I really do.
Anyway, thanks so much for this!
cheers.
