Okay, I was sitting here all smiley, bopping along and then screeeecccchhh: Ryan went to sleep to the sound of Jim and Karen having sex? I thought I was all Fancy New Girl7, can be cool with Jim & Karen in the short term, but...uh, apparently not. That hurt. :o) Seriously, though, I really love the dynamic between Karen and Pam here. And Jim's comment about being jealous of anyone who gets to touch Pam like that? Guh. Wow.
Seriously, this fic is like a fantastic, exotic world that I don't want to leave. That sounded corny enough to be worthy of Michael Scott, didn't it? But I mean it!
Author's Response: Hahaha, that is awesome. Thank you so much! There is more to come :)
Date: April 03, 2007 04:58 pm Title: Anybody making out in here? Not yet, give it time.
Oh holy god, holy god, holy god. This is absolutely addictive and awesome and I know I sound like Kelly but seriously woman! I think one of the reasons I'm so enamored with this is that, as I mentioned earlier, you really do capture their voices so, so well. Love your boisterous Michael, and Dwight's crab comment was just so...him that I could picture it. I also like the dynamic between Karen and Pam here - it's reminiscent of A Benihana Christmas, actually, and you've made it really believable. I kind of like the idea of them a) getting along and b) Karen being sort of protective of Pam (correcting Jim for the comment about Roy). And Jim. Jim, Jim, Jim. I'm sick for thinking he's sexy even when he's being an ass. I'm even sicker for wanting her to have her cake (Jim) and eat it, too (Ryan). Wait. That came out all wrong.
Love it!
Author's Response: I'm so glad that you are still liking the voices! That makes my heart happy :) I'm a science nerd so, weirdly, Dwight's random knowledge is pretty easy for me to write... yikes. I love the Karen/Pam dynamic they started in ABC so I'm happy that it feels like that! Oh, and you are definitely not sick ;)

If it's any consolation, I'm as hardcore a JAM fan as they get, and I'm sitting here hoping Pam climbs up in Ryan's lap, damn it! :o) Seriously, I'm reading this with a huge grin - and this makes me really, really want to see them go on a cruise on the actual show! Love the voices here - still spot on. This is just so much fun to read!
Author's Response: Hee! So glad that you're enjoying it!
Date: April 03, 2007 04:36 pm Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
and you have somehow twistedly been sucessful at letting pam have sex with Jim AND Ryan. Gah. Gah. I don't have words that was so twisted it was hot. God Pam he wants you just take him?! Jim just dump karen. Have hot hot hot real sex soon. oh man, this is so out of character for everyone on the show (pam can't even verbalize what she wants to herself and now she's fucking jim through a wall? ryan is a jackass and suddenly he's as sweet as the bees knees?) BUT, and there is a but, this story is a delicious AU. And I'm so glad Jim called Karen on her BS, now if only he would do it to her face. Actually, I'd like to see them (jim/pam) cheat and get caught, in this world that would actually be kinda hot.
Author's Response: Haha, um, was this a good or bad review? I can't tell :) I don't think Ryan's an ass at all, just a guy that doesn't particularly like his job or his boss, I think there have been plenty of moments on the show that have shown a sweeter side to him ("I dont know, I can't explain it" ? Or the adorable look on his face after he finds Sasha underneath his desk? His string cheese talk with Toby? No? Nothing?) Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Okay, I see what the fuss is all about now. Excellent premise and you have managed to do the almost impossible: You've captured so many of their voices & mannerisms here just perfectly. And guh at Karen sleeping on Jim's shoulder. I'm actually feeling indignant enough to be glad Pam's sort of flirting with Ryan. Harmph.
Love it so far!
Author's Response: Ooh, I'm so glad that you are reading it! And thank you for saying that about the voices! That's what I worry about most :)

In the immortal words of Kevin, "Niiiiiiice."
I just hope you don't pull a Dallas and have this whole thing end up as a dream sequence!
But seriously, this fic just keeps getting better and better. I didn't think the storyline would be able to hold my attention for this long... but now I don't want it to end! Thank you for your mercifully quick updates!
Author's Response: Hahaha, no no, no dream sequence, that would be cruel ) Thank you!
Date: April 03, 2007 04:19 pm Title: I did not do that. That sounds disgusting.
Baahhhhhhhhh.
I don't even know how to respond. OMFG. The whole thing was just...
and then Pam said Ryan's name? You know how to make everything perfect, don't you???
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you liked that bit :) :) :)
Date: April 03, 2007 03:47 pm Title: I did not do that. That sounds disgusting.
Okay, so I have had 3 days to digest this, and I am STILL alkdfjlasdkjfasdkfjsdf about it. Hardest thing to beta in the universe, my friend. I had so many hot flashes I could have sworn it was 30 years in the future and I was starting menopause.
Okay. Let's begin with Mr. Jim and his "Pam is easy but I still WANT her" ness. Holy hell. The jealousy is hot, but you know what is hotter? RYAN. Drunkish, stubbly, blue eyes devouring her Ryan. Oh, and devouring her with his mouth. And his hands. dalkdfladkfjkdf....
And, yes, Ryan knows what's going on and it seeeems like he doesn't care. But it's not just "getting some". Because...come on. Maaaaybe it starts out like that, but...he's staring into her eyes and "You can say his name" BREAKS MY HEART and then she says RYAN and and and he GRINS and KISSES her.
Oh, and can I say that just when I thought you already wrote hot Ryan humming...you wrote...THAT. And can I just say that all of this together, comprehensively? Not twisted. It's real and clumsy and jealous (heee) and I could not love you more for it. You make me fangirl!
In the game of life, you are a shark. And not a Nazi.
Author's Response: Oh, Ryan. Ryan Ryan Ryan :) Can I even describe how much I am looking forward to Conan tonight??? AND you're going to be continuing your Pam/Ryan writings?? Seriously, you have no idea how that made my day. Once we have enough we should totally start an LJ community, hahaha. Nazi's are such rubbish. Sharks could have found Anne Frank so fast! Hey, why don't we look upstairs today? Yep, still no one got it I don't think,haha.

So, after going back and rereading (yes, I'm bored at work, and yes I'm that big of a smut whore...) I have realized how much I LOVE your title names!
They are totally random, but I love them!
Author's Response: Hee, thank you! Coming up with those has been fun :)

So Hot !! I so didn't see this coming, for a moment there I thought Jim was gonna "sneak" in & watch them...does that make me a "perv"?!..... Oh Well....I don't want this story to ever end !!!! :) Awesome chapter !!
Author's Response: Haha, not at all! Totally plausible in this crazy situation ;) Thank you!!
Date: April 03, 2007 03:29 pm Title: I did not do that. That sounds disgusting.
This is SUCH a great story, and these last two installments did not disappoint. My favorite line is "The guy that just couldn’t be Jim while Jim was gone and yet was him now that he was back. " and I think it sums up the story perfetcly.
Can't wait for more!!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
Date: April 03, 2007 03:24 pm Title: I did not do that. That sounds disgusting.
Um, whoa! That was not the way I was expecting that to go! Ryan being totally fine with being a substitute Jim (actually, that doesn't surprise me so much, thinking about it, because he hasn't been that "emotionally involved" this whole time, but still wasn't expecting it. And Jim being okay with only barely getting those experiences vicariously through Ryan, knowing that that's the best he can get for now? Whoa. Poor clueless Karen, if she really is so clueless...
The twistedness of the situation somehow made it seriously hot...
Author's Response: Hehe, thank you! I'm glad you could enjoy it even though it was pretty twisted :)

I should be KeySpazzing on you right now but I can't. I just...can't. I award you a million and a half points for the unbelievable hotness of that.
DS:LKDSJFL:SKDFJ Seriously. Just...throw Jim overboard. He's such a tool. (YOU, on the other hand, should be raised on high RYAN/PAM FTW). So. ;)
Author's Response: Hee! I love you! Haha, I'm so so glad that you liked it! Jim can swim, right? ;)

Okay, you've finally pulled me out of lurkerdom because I HAVE to comment on this. Oh. My. God. That was sick and twisted and so hot I cannot stand it. (Or, if I was a guy, I could literally not stand up for a few minutes).
I kind of hate Ryan on the show, but this is such a wonderful characterization of him - fun, flirty, and twisted. I'm sure some could say Pam is not acting very Pam-like, but I wouldn't agree. That's the beauty of fic, the ability to take these characters places that they would never go on the show.
Jim is a dick here, but I totally buy it. And I can't believe I didn't realize until now just how much I've been needing this story. This fandom doesn't do twisted, alas.
The only critical thing I would add is that I was thrown off by Pam and Ryan on the dance floor. I LOVED the mirroring, and that Ryan knew what was going on, but they were still dancing (yes?) with everyone else around, so I don't think even as twisted and delicious as it was that Ryan would be, uh, going there. And by there, I mean under the skirt.
Thank you SO much for this story. Keep going!
Author's Response: Ooh, I LOVE pulling people from lurkdom!! Thank you so much for saying that you feel the characters are still... in character, haha, that really means a lot. Somehow I think "twisted fic" has sort of become my thing on this site, haha, so I'm glad you like it. As for the dance floor thing, in my head the place is pretty empty and well... dark, so that they could get away with that without being incredibly skeevy, haha. Thanks again!

There's only place you can go from here...................and that's onward!!! Please go forth and be fruitful in this fic. I just hope the condoms don't run out.... Love how you have Pam and Jim getting through this - their frustration at their situation would make them start to use other people voraciously to get at each other and Ryan's along for the satisfying ride.

This story is twisted but ridiculously hot. I love it.

I've been sitting here with my fingers frozen on the keyboard, not quite sure what to type. Because you just took this story to such a twisted, sexy, AMAZING place. Seriously, I did not expect that [/Pam]
But, let me be perfectly clear-- I LOVED IT.
She feels Jim’s hand brush across the length of her back as he walks past her.
Is it weird that I found *this* to be the hottest moment of physical contact in this chapter?
The guy that just couldn’t be Jim while Jim was gone and yet was him now that he was back.
Oooh! Nifty observation!
“Nothing, it’s just…” he looks at her, a grin spreading across his face. “You just said my name.”
This made me SO happy. I cannot explain why. I swear I'm a Jammer. But Ryan was just so awesome in this chapter. Actually, in this entire fic. I just like him more than Jim in this! GAH!
I'm torn, because part of me thinks that he's found what he originally wanted with Kelly--no strings attached fun. But the other part of me sees in moments like this ("you just said my name") that he wants something more from Pam. And really, I'm okay with either option! Ryan/Pam is just... hot.
Now, I try to stay away from judging the moral character of... fictional characters, especially in fic. I refuse to judge Pam for having a romp with Ryan, because good for her!! But I feel really bad for Karen. I mean, I love her in this fic, and part of me thinks that Jim is right. That Karen is pushing Pam on Ryan to protect her relationship with Jim. But another part of me sees that Karen and Pam really are friends and it was crappy of Pam to do that to her. And of Jim. I don't feel so bad for Kelly, because they are broken up, or at least on a break ("Friends" flashback!)
Jeeze, could I have babbled on any more? Suffice it to say, I will follow this fic to the ends of the earth. LOVE.
Author's Response: THANK YOU! Ahh, I can't even articulate how awesome this review was to read, seriously. I'm so so glad you liked it even if it was kind of twisted. With this last chapter it seems like people are getting impatient for JAM so I'm glad that you'd be happy with either outcome because, yes, Ryan is the hotness. As for Ryan's "intentions" I'm definitely going to delve into that more in the upcoming chapters, especially that I know exactly where I want this to go now. So, again, thank you so so much for being supportive and just awesome!

I'm such a diehard Jim/Pam fan in real life but i am SO pulling for Ryan/Pam in this one...

I don't even care. That more than exceeded my expectations. Except now I'm bothered in the pants and my face is BRIGHT RED and I have to go to class. Yikes.
This story is the best story of all the stories. And I'm not just saying that because I want you in my pants.
