You are absolutely forgiven for posting without waiting for me to get back to you! I feel horrible about that, but I was so busy packing and driving all over town this weekend (mostly to Walmart for more and more packing bubbles!) that I just didn't get back to it. So sorry!
Anyway, you already know how much I love this chapter, but let me say it again: when Jim came up behind Pam in the restaurant and it was REALLY HIM--in person, not just in letters--and he kissed the back of her neck...sigh! I seriously got goosebumps. Wonderful. It gives me so many happy feelings. Hooray!
Author's Response:
Don't even worry about it! I knew you were busy, so it wasn't a big deal at all. And if you did see something that was wrong you can let me know and I'll edit accordingly.
Oooh goosebumps! That's such a cool compliment! I'm so glad you liked it. Good luck moving! ;)

you are such a freakin tease! haha.
So glad theyre finally in the same place, I mean jeeze Jim are you going to give her gas money for that?
yay
Author's Response: Tease? Who me? Never. But just FYI, this story will stay PG-13. And yeah, I think Jim owes her for more than just the gas money, although, technically speaking he did a lot of driving too.

I love how he left her a flashlight to read the letter on the roof! I really liked the whole scavenger hunt concept. It's very true to character. I must say, I want to know what happened with Marsha and her kids!
Author's Response: Oh, don't worry; I haven't forgotten about Marsha. I just needed Jim and Pam to figure a few things out on their own. I actually really miss Marsha, and I'm glad you want to know what happened to her because she's my own little fic creation, and it's nice to know that people care about your characters. Thanks for the review!

"It was like part of her, and part of Jim had stayed up on the roof with each other, just waiting for everything else to come together." That's my favorite thing I've read in a while. Really sweet and sentimental, just how I think Pam is.
Really good! I am so glad Jim finally showed up! Yay!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked that line. It was one of my favorites too. Thanks for this and all your other reviews! :D

I have been reading fan fiction since I was in Jr High but this is my 1st Review, and i think your story is AWESOME! Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Wow. I can't tell you how much your review meant to me. I've had such a crappy day, and now I'm smiling. So thank you. I'm so glad you liked the story. I should have the next chapter up in a couple days. Maybe even tomorrow! Anyway, thanks again! You totally made my day. :)

Azlin! This is my favorite chapter yet---though I was so afraid that Pam was going to accidentally fall asleep and Jim would be alone at Rite-Aid and heartbroken! Thanks for making it so much better than that!!
This is lovely, and I'm waiting anxiously for the next installment!
Author's Response: Hahaha! I should write that into the next chapter! "Pam was tired of trying to find Jim's letters. She decided to just go home and go to bed. If Jim really wanted her, he'd stop being so coy and just come over later. Besides, she really wanted to finish writing her latest story about Kim and Sam, two characters from a tv show that she'd recently become completely addicted to." Oh wait. That's my life, not Pam's. :P

I just discovered this one...and wow! Update soon!!
Author's Response: Aw cool, I love new readers! Especially ones that leave reviews! And as far as an update, I'm pretty amazed at myself because lately it's been slow going, but I actually sent chapter 15 to my betas last night, so it'll be up as soon as I hear back from them. Thanks for your comments!

Fantastic as always Azlin. I like the idea of Jim describing the situation in letters back to Pam.
Author's Response: Thanks! I really liked that idea myself. ;)

Fun scavenger hunt! And totally Jim. Those are the perfect places to remind Pam (and the reader) about how much fun they had together. And Jim's letters are so sweet!
Still loving this! And was so thrilled to see it updated today!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad you're still enjoying it. I never really thought this story would take so long to tell, but I guess I'm just more verbose than I realized. Or I should just learn to leave things out. Anyway, I couldn't leave out the scavenger hunt because I've been excited about it since chapter 5 or so. ;)

I cannot WAIT til you update this story. I kid you not when I say that I screamed in delight when I saw that this story was updated today!
Author's Response: Sweet! Delighted screams are music to my ears. As for an update, I can't promise anything, but I've already got a lot of it written so hopefully it shouldn't take as long as last time.

I was just thinking of this story like 30 minutes ago, then I check Most Recent AND IT'S UPDATED. Woooooooo
Author's Response: Aw! That's so cool! I'm so happy I could oblige, and flattered that you were thinking of it! :D

Ooh, I love the treasure hunt of places he fell in love with her! So glad to see an update on this one!
Author's Response: Thanks! I had a lot of fun writing the treasure hunt. Especially the parts that required me to do some "research" with my S2 DVDs.

I want Jim to send ME on a little scavanger hunt. He's just so thoughtful. Let me rephrase that, you've written him to be so thoughtful. Very nice. Please get to the roof soon!
Author's Response: Yeah, I think Jim's definitely the "Dream Guy" for any girl after this chapter. But I really wanted him to do this because I thought it fit nicely with his personality (like the teapot) and with the theme of the story (letters). Thanks for the review! Chapter 15's coming along nicely so it shouldn't be too long of a wait this time. ;)

Oh, Azlin, this new chapter is wonderful with all the letters from Jim. Love how he's communicating his deepest feelings to her in the same way she's been doing it, on paper. Such a neat idea to have her visit all the places full of "happy thoughts" from their past.
And now the roof? At night? How romantic. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Yeah, I really liked the idea of having the letters continue for just a little bit longer. They're so much fun to write! And I felt like Pam needed some time to adjust to everything that's happened. I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter! Thanks for the review!

Amazing Azlin. So many special moments between Pam and Jim woven together in such a lovely way.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it! I've been planning this chapter for so long that I'd sort of forgotten how much fun it is, so it's great to see people's reactions! ;)

Wonderful work! I cannot wait to read more!
Author's Response: Well, thank you! I'll try to have more soon!

good work, Azlin! I'm at least as excited as Pam is!!!!
Author's Response: If not more so /Jim. Okay, didn't mean to put words in your mouth, but you were just asking for it with that one. At least it wasn't a TWSS, right?
Date: June 26, 2007 05:12 pm Title: it knocks me off my feet
noooooooo!!!!!!! I was trying to read slowly so the chapter would go on longer. more please, asap!
Author's Response: Sorry. They'll be more as soon as I finish writing it. That probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth. Anyway, I'm glad you liked this chapter.

Oh wise Azlin - what is a combination of a pimple/blister found on your toe? Because right now, I have one, and it is rather painful. Which made going on a walk not fun. But, my reward for the pain is new GCL, so, I must say, it is a rather good reward.
"And yes, she'd looked."
Oddly, I vote this best line (of the first paragraph since that is as far as I ave read), It is so something I would say, do, write. Therefore, it gets the best line award.
I think work is a great place to fall in love. Wait, I redact that. One, because I hear in real life it is all sorts of messy. Two, because I work with kids and that is all kinds of wrong. I love them but in very very different ways. I am going to stop before I start sounding like the police need to arrest me.
Jim's further instructions were so sweet. "So don't even try to doubt it, because it's so...impossible. I just can't help it."
Okay, and "I promise it'll be worth it" so that reminds me of Email Survellience and Michael's improve class. And so, Yeah... just had to throw that out there.
Jim called her over the intercom. Of course he would.
" Okay, that is not how I meant to say that. " Very Jim.
I love that little scavenery hunt that Jim is sending Pam on.
My suggestion - write faster. Ignore life. Because, um, yeah.
Author's Response:
Huh. Not sure I'm actually wise, but what you've got there is most definitely known as a blimple. Only known remedy=fanfic.
I'm glad you liked that line! One of my betas didn't like it, but I did, so I decided to keep it in anyway.
Uh...yeah. Don't get arrested. We'd miss you if they carted you off to the slammer.
:D I love when I get a comment like "Very Jim." It makes me so happy! :D
In conclusion, I'm so glad you liked this chapter! I'll do my best to write quickly!

Oh my gosh--I love your story! I have been waiting a long time for this chapter, but it was definitely worth the wait. Well done! Jim's letters to Pam are so perfect.
Author's Response: Thanks! I love writing Jim's letters, so I'm so glad you like reading them. I'll try to not to make you wait as long for the next chapter! And seriously, thanks for the review. I love reading/responding to comments! :D

I was so excited to see a new chapter...and it was as great as the others! Thanks. Looking forward to the next one. I hope it's soon! : )
Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad you liked it. I'm looking forward to finishing the next one (it's probably about 1/3 done right now), but I just started new classes this week, so I'll have to see how it goes. Thanks for reviewing! :)

OMG, OMG, OMG! The roof! BTW, the scavenger hunt of love is so adorable. Reminding Pam of the times when Jim fell in love with her. Sigh.
So -- I'm v. excited that you are writing this again!! (yay!) and obviously can't wait for the next chapter!!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad you liked this chapter! I never really stopped writing this story, but somehow other things kept getting in the way. Especially that pesky RL. I mean, who needs to graduate from college when I could just spend the rest of my life writing fanfic, right? Anyway, thanks again for the review! :)

Yay! YOU are doing such an amazing job at making this story just... the FASTEST thing to read, and the most engaging story. So good at weaving in the history!! This is fantastic. Please, if you can, find a way to make this just go on, you know, forever.
I would LOVE to have this last long enough for their children to have that party at the Dojo.
Author's Response: Uh...forever's a pretty long time. I can promise at least 3 more chapters though. How's that? Anyway, I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying it! Thanks for the review!

Yay, I was so excited for this update! I love that Jim is sending Pam to the places that he fell in love with her, a stroll down memory lane. Can't wait to find out what happens on the roof.
Author's Response: Oh good! I'm so glad you liked the little scavenger hunt. I've been planning this chapter for months now, and it's always fun to see reader's reactions to something you've been thinking about for so long. Thanks for the review!
