OMG, Jim seeing them in the hallway!!!
My reaction: Throw my arms in the air a la Pam in The Fire and yell out "OH! FUCK!" much to my roommate's surprise. Good times.
You win. More. Seriously. More. Now.
Author's Response: Hahah, did you really do that?? That just made my night, you have no idea. Thank you!

Dinkin, you're KILLING me with this Pam/Ryan stuff, but brooding Jim is a joy to read. I can't wait for all of this to reach it's climax--just please, please, please, don't let Pam have sex with Ryan. Kelly would staple her face to her desk in revenge!
Wonderful details and angst; keep the chapters coming!!! --CH
Author's Response: Hahah, that would make an interesting epiloge though, wouldn't it? "And then, back in the office, Kelly staples Pam's face to her desk. The End." No? Hehe, thanks so much!

OMGOMGOMGOMG. This story owns my soul. Ryan and Pam and Jim interrupting them and- !!! I have no words. And drunk Dwight! Brilliant. *waits impatiently for next chapter*
Author's Response: Hehe, thank you soo much unfold! :) And I'm super excited that you liked drunk Dwight, because for some reason that is how I imagine him drunk :)
Date: April 01, 2007 09:46 pm Title: I just don't want it to be weird... you know?
Oooo. I liked this! More please!
Author's Response: Thank you! More should be up shortly :)

Remember last time when I told you that I love this fic? That was such a petty understatement. I want to buy this fic a humungous diamond ring, run off to Vegas, and marry it. That is how crazy I am about it. No joke.
So, can we talk about all the things I loved about this chapter, besides, you know, ALL of it?
1) Ryan/Pam make-outage. Love it. So incredibly fun the way Pam does her Michael impression and then all of a sudden it's steamy!
2) Michael whining to Jan about her not letting him look through her luggage. I laughed out loud, and I'm in the library right now (doing homework, of course...)
3) Steamy makeout session by the bathroom!
4) Jim interrupting said steamy makeout session!!!*(U$@(*U
5) What the heck happened between them in the bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
So yeah. In ridiculous amounts of love with this fic. I’m really sorry if that’s weird for you to hear, but I needed you to hear it. Probably not good timing. I know that, I just … I just needed you to know. Once.
Author's Response: OKay, but if you do take this to Vegas, please don't pull a Britney and get it annulled like a day later, because that would just break the poor fic's heart! Hehe, but seriously, I'm glad you liked the Michael-impression, and when Michael whines about the luggage (I kept thinking back to how when she pulls him into the bathroom in Cocktails he says "I thought this was where you liked your privacy!") And yes, you're right, I did need to hear it... I won't even say "I can't" :) Thank yooou!
Date: April 01, 2007 09:44 pm Title: I just don't want it to be weird... you know?
Yes!!!! The big make out scene! Dude, you have made my night! God, I love Ryan/Pam. How did you do that? Now I'm going to go back and re-read it all over again because it's just that damn good. :)
Author's Response: Hehe, YES! So glad the make out scene lived up to your expectations, and now you love Ryan/Pam?? I love you ;)
Date: April 01, 2007 09:44 pm Title: I just don't want it to be weird... you know?
Wait! What's happening? I don't want to like Ryan & Pam! Stop it!
Seriously though, I love these characters, and I love fanfic, but I have never, ever liked the idea of Ryan and Pam together. So this is a first for me. But if this is ultimately going to end up a Jam fic, I'm totally cool with that, too.
But right now? Ryan & Pam are hot, and Jim is making my heart hurt. *sigh* So good.
Author's Response: Muahaha, I like that I am slowly tricking you into liking Ryan/Pam ;) Hee, but seriously, thanks for reviewing and I'm so glad that you are enjoying it even if it isn't a full-on JAM fic!
Date: April 01, 2007 09:31 pm Title: I just don't want it to be weird... you know?
This is so good, it should be illegal.
Please don't let Ryan get burned. You know I'm a Pam/Other and Jim/Other fan
Author's Response: Hee, oh, I'm in love with Ryan soo, you know, we'll have to see what happens ;) Thanks eyegypt!
Date: April 01, 2007 09:26 pm Title: I just don't want it to be weird... you know?
Wow, as always
okay where to begin, Jim's smug-face, do you want to cuddle, Ebony and Ivory, the camcorder, Monkey arg all so good
I'm really enjoying where this is going.
Ryan always wants to "just have fun" (I'm just saying :D)
awesome blossom- I knew I stayed up late for a reason!
Author's Response: Hee! Thank you oh so much :) I hope drunk!Dwight was in character.. for some reason I imagine him to be a real sloppy "I love everyone" kind of drunk, haha.
Date: April 01, 2007 09:25 pm Title: I just don't want it to be weird... you know?
I literally gasped and was sitting here with my jaw open when Jim caught Pam/Ryan. Wowza.
I seriously love love love love love love love this story. It's true. Wow. I get one chapter and immediately wish for more! You're simply amazing DinkinFlinka!
Author's Response: Oh thank you! I'm glad you didn't throw any garbage at me for that bit :) The next chapter is roughly written out so it shouldn't be too long until I update again. Thanks so much :)
Date: April 01, 2007 04:47 pm Title: I love girl talk
I was hoping for some closet lovin'! Update soon!
Author's Response: Hopefully an update tomorrow :)
Date: April 01, 2007 03:06 pm Title: I love girl talk
Wow. Okay, I was never a Pam/Ryan fan until this came along. You are making Ryan SO attractive! I'm actually rooting for them to hook up now.
Except then you get Jim and Pam In The Closet (tm) and that's all kinds of hot and breathless, so yum.
I'm really enjoying this.
Author's Response: Is it weird that I find Ryan so attractive even when he is being a jerk on the show? Yep, he is the hotness. Thanks for reading!
Date: April 01, 2007 02:55 pm Title: I love girl talk
Oh man! I just read three chapters at once and whoa! Ryan's situation with Kelly and his assessment of Pam was really great - just really wonderful. (The Titanic stuff was killing me - laughed out loud.) I do think my favorite line of the whole thing was about Kelly not calling any less just because she dumped him - perfection.
And I still love JealousJim. The Ryan stuff isn't bothering me at all - not sure why, because I sorta kinda want to claw Karen's face off every time she gets anywhere near Jim.
I was really fine with the dance, feeling like Pam deserved to feel wanted and protected (the way dancing can make you feel), and then she looked at Jim, and my heart broke for them both because it feels like they are right back where they started - she's with someone she doesn't love and he's trying not to watch.
Then, J&P in a confined space - always wonderful.
Wow I love this story!
Author's Response: Hee, Kelly would totally keep calling :) Glad you liked that part especially because it was one of my favorites too! Thank you so much!

So will you think I'm stalking you if I tell you that your story is now the MTT highlight of my day! Seriously, the little email in my mailbox telling me you've updated makes me so happy.
This is such an awesome chapter. I loved Karen and Pam eavesdropping, and the cover up story was very funny. It was heartbreaking to know that Pam feels like she cheated on Roy. I think that's true, that she feels guilty about it along with being sad she's not with Jim.
I don't really have words about the dance with Ryan. Um can I dance with Ryan? "Mr UNC would you mind if I danced with Ryan on a cruise ship?"
And the closet!!! I like that she is giving all the anger and hurt back to Jim, he sort of deserves it. And I'm glad she left when he didn't say anything. These two have to talk prior to the inevitable liplock......So make my day with another update.......
Author's Response: Oh stalk away! Hehe, and I'll stalk you right back because seeing that you've left a review gets me very excited! And, can we all dance with Ryan?? That's pretty much all I want in life at the moment, is that sad? Thanks so much!

Wow, DinkinFlicka, this is so good! I NEVER thought I would get butterflies at the thought of even a flirtation between Ryan and Pam, but you've gone and done it. I am VERY excited to see where this story goes!
Author's Response: Hee, thank you! It means a lot since this is a primarily Jim/Pam shipping site that so many people have been enjoying this! Seriously, thank you!
Date: April 01, 2007 12:41 pm Title: I love girl talk
Hahaha, I love the Ace of Base stuff. And the close dancing made me feel all awkward and squirmy... as did the hiding in the closet scene. But in a good way.
As a side note, it always amazes me how different people from different areas play games differently - I've played "Fuck the Dealer" but never with those rules! Interesting... And playing "chuck, fuck, or marry" among coworkers *about* coworkers went surprisingly well considering how dangerous that concept seems...
Author's Response: I've noticed that too! There are so many different ways to play games like that, its hard to keep up. I had never heard of the "up Jenkins" game until watching the Cocktails episode though, and me and a friend got an entire bar into a huge round of it on St. Patty's Day, it was fantastic. Thanks for reading!
Date: April 01, 2007 08:24 am Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
two things, I haven't even read the new chapter yet so it isn't topical (I've somehow conjured up enough willpower to avoid this story until it's done) 1. I just read Clash of the Titans and LOVED It, i love the list especially, and I would totally hide under a desk too. 2) one of my friends is going to a wedding this weekend where the best man is BJ Novak. I thought you might get a kick out of that.
Author's Response: What??? HOLY CRAP! That is awesome, I wish I could crash that wedding, even if I got kicked out by Dwight. BJ in a suit = love. I mean, he's just going to have to face the facts that we're are meant to be. Its only a matter of time ;) Thanks for saying that about Clash of the Titans! Hee, that was a fun story to write :)
Date: April 01, 2007 07:07 am Title: Hold on, its gonna be a bumpy one
Ellen Pompeo annoys the crap outta me too!!!
Author's Response: Haha yes! That's the one thing I can't get past on that show, otherwise I would probably watch it. Although, I happen to find Patrick Dempsey kind of annoying too... so maybe if they just cut out that plotline entirely I"ll be on board :)
Date: April 01, 2007 01:15 am Title: I love girl talk
You DIDN'T just leave us all there in the closet!?! And I love that Jim is the one who can't say anything, for once. (Hee, he is all hot & bothered over Pam & Ryan!! Is that mean?)
Author's Response: Oh yes, lisahoo, I did ;) And its not mean! Its fun to piss Jim off, hehe :)
10 [Report This]Date: April 01, 2007 12:43 am Title: I love girl talk
WOW. I just read the whole story (so far). I'm in the Jim is a jerk camp and think that Pam should have some fun with Ryan. I liked the part where you said that she didn't think that Jim looked that good in sunglasses.
Get to the smut already! You're killing me!
Author's Response: Haha, just the thought of Jim wearing sunglasses feels... unnatural to me for some odd reason, haha. Oh don't worry, the smut is coming :) Maybe soon...

Oooh-kay. You are obviously not taking seriously my very serious objections to any possibility of "cookie" between Pam and Ryan. Those two are never allowed to dance together again. Also, Karen the skanky ho is not allowed to push mini-skirts on Pam for the purpose of impressing Ryan.
Finally, when Jim says "Just. Wait.", and Pam says "For what?", Jim should say something like....
"Just wait for me to get this condom out of my pocket. I've been sleeping with a skanky ho and don't want to give you some disease." or...
"Just wait and I will truly will give you the best sex of your life." or...
"Just wait while I run find Karen, drop her ass like a hot potato, and... hey, are those shorts crotchless?"
And, I know you are working out for our cage match, but I'll have you know I'm not afraid to bite and kick. Furthermore, I am going to remain unflinchingly rigid (TWSS) on the whole "no cookie for Ryan and Pam" thing.
Other than those objections, of course I am enjoying this greatly.
Author's Response: Hahahaha, you're right. Jim should have said those things. But not one of them, all of them! And then Pam would get totally weirded out and run straight into Ryan's arms! muahahaha! And as for the cage match, you should know that there will only be 2 punches: Me punching you and you hitting the floor.
Date: March 31, 2007 10:14 pm Title: I love girl talk
aww, I want them together so badly. I like how Ryan is the new Jim and all, but I'll always want them together in the end. Keep writing please!
Author's Response: Hehe, I will definitely keep writing and thanks for the comment!
Date: March 31, 2007 09:44 pm Title: I love girl talk
This was awesome as usual. I can't decide which I liked more: the dancing or the supply closet. I really never thought I'd be torn between Ryan and Jim like this!
Author's Response: Hehe, its fun isn't it? I'm slowly turning you all into Ryan fans, muahaha. Seriously though, thank you!
Date: March 31, 2007 09:36 pm Title: I love girl talk
Wow, I REALLY loved this chapter! I mean, you had me laughing out loud with Karen and Pam crawling along the floor spying on the guys playing "hide and seek" and then you had that intense scene with Jim and Pam in that closet!
It's a roller coast ride of emotion! I LOVE IT!
Author's Response: Hee, thank you! Glad you like it :)
Date: March 31, 2007 09:33 pm Title: I love girl talk
This is fun. My favourite part was Angela's
“We’re already drinking,” she sighs. “Let’s not mock Jesus while we’re at it.”
I'm sure that the Holy Spirit can fit into the inter-atomic spaces. So dance as close as you like.
I'm also somewhat ashamed that my hide-and-seek technique also includes having to pee as soon as I find a spot as well.
Author's Response: I know that happens to me every single time I have to hide! Its like clockwork! Um.. not that I play hide and seek all the time... um.. yeah. Haha, just kidding, my little cousins are always forcing me into it. I'm glad you liked the Angela line, hehe, I'm seriously considering having her get a little sloshy in the next chapter just because that would be... fun.
