That is how I would hope Jim would react to that type of revelation. Lovely work.

Wonderful story!!!!! You illustrated Jim's feelings so well. Kinda sad that it had to end. Great work!

That was absolutely bloody brilliant =)

I like the premise of the story and think you did a great job with it. What a way to insert more angst into your stories! Just relive some of Pam's unhappy moments in the office! Really, this was quite original!

Oooh... I love Jim in that scene in the breakroom. Love him!

OMG, how did I miss this story? It's wonderful- the best "interference by the camera crew" piece I've read (and I've written at least one myself!). And this line: It took him a second to work up the courage to say it - still - but finally, he managed the words: "I need you to...talk to me. Talk to me, please."
It's exactly true. It's still exactly what he needs- what they both need. I love this so much!

The enigma that is Creed? Why is that word so hard to spell (for me) - it first came out like egnigima?
Okay, so my flow of the story was interrupted... byt a visit from my crush... he came bearing bleach... isn't that just the nicest thing a guy can get for a girl... a big container of bleach so she can clean breathing barriers? no, just me... okay.
I love the idea of the documentary crew interfering in thier relationship. :)
(and my hands smell like bleach, and i move my hands a lot, so whenever they get close to my nose, it stinks like bleach, and its like, eew)
My friend mentioned that scene in basketball just today!!! So odd. It was like, "yeah, she was checking him out!"
I loved revisiting all those little moments through Jim's eyes
:). This makes me happy. Especially the last line.
Now to try to get the smell of bleach off of my hands!

This was beautiful. And I truly got goose bumps when Jim walked into the break room and shut the door. Sigh... And the last line was just awesome.

I love this, this is really honest, especially at the end. Is this why people make fanvids? So that if we make enough, if we believe hard enough, it will get through to our favorite fictional twosome? (Kinda like Tinkerbell, right?)
Author's Response:
Ha - it must be why people make fanvids (and I love them for doing so). And yes, if we believe hard enough, it will happen!! ...Either that or we threaten to pelt Greg Daniels with beets if he doesn't make it happen. :o)
Thanks for reviewing!

sigh.... I could almost cry. so good.
Author's Response: Ah, thank you so much, Clare!
Date: April 03, 2007 11:47 pm Title: Chapter 1
Hooray!!!!!!!!!! That was fabulous. Did you also write the one from Pam's POV where one of the cameramen sent her a tape? Well, either way, they were both great. It should really happen like this. Well, except with the microphones and the cameras, because if they cut me out of that moment I would chew off my own arm.
Author's Response: Thanks - and no, I didn't write one from Pam's point of view (though that's an excellent idea). And yeah - I'd chew off my own arm, too! Thanks for the review -

The camera crew as the deus ex machina is MY kryptonite! Seriously I love them. And I love Jim getting that all at once. Just a scene or two and he could have really written it off or rationalized it away. I love how this breaks him down, clip by clip to its unavoidable conclusion. Thank you for the perfect study break.:)
Author's Response: Oooh, I love the English major talk! (I am a nerd, yes.) I wish he could see the footage on the show, because the poor boy needs to get a clue. (Though it'd be nice if Pam would, you know, give him one.) Thanks for reviewing!
Date: April 03, 2007 09:37 pm Title: Chapter 1
I never get tired of reading those two finally get their acts together... and I love when someone helps. That was well done... just sublime!
Author's Response: I never get tired of writing them getting their act together. :o) Thanks for the review!
Date: April 03, 2007 09:37 pm Title: Chapter 1
Oh man...the day we watch Jim and Pam remove their microphones is the day I do a HAPPY DANCE!!! Very nice touch. This was so exciting...you could just feel the tension rising and he watched one clip after another. Loved it.
Author's Response: Heh - at this point, I'd be happy with just about any interaction between those two, but I have to admit that if they took the mics off and we couldn't hear what was going on, I'd probably tear my hair out in frustration. :o) Thanks for reviewing (as always!) --
Date: April 03, 2007 09:13 pm Title: Chapter 1
Sigh...way to go Jim & Pam. I love the clips you chose for Jim to see. In particular the basketball one. (because which one of us didn't do the same thing as Pam in that scene?). Love that he kept denying that Pam would have feelings for him even when the proof was right in front of. Amazing.
(I am also impressed with the 1 chapter story from you! Although I am slightly addicted to your epics too)
Author's Response: Preach it sister - I know I was doing the exact same thing Pam was doing during that scene. I would love to see the look on Jim's face if he saw that footage - can you imagine the blushing? And yes, one chapter from me is a total anamoly, isn't it? :o) Thanks for reviewing!
Date: April 03, 2007 09:04 pm Title: Chapter 1
ooooh i like it - please continue!!!
Author's Response: Hee - unfortunately, this is a one-shot (which is totally out of character for me). But I'm really glad that you liked it! Thanks for reviewing -
Date: April 03, 2007 07:53 pm Title: Chapter 1
That is my FAVORITE scene in the British series and I love how you make it so Jim/Pam here. Great job, as always. Fabby one-shots like this make it much easier to wait for Only to get wrapped up!
Author's Response: I loved this scene in the original, too - so heartbreaking! I held my breath the whole time they were alone in that room. Sigh. Glad to hear that you're hanging in for an Only update - hope to have it done by the end of the weekend! Thanks for reviewing!
Date: April 03, 2007 07:18 pm Title: Chapter 1
This made me super happy. And it reminded me that I cannot wait for the day (4 seasons from now, or whatever) when the show acknowledges the airing of the show.... if that makes sense. Anyway, I love this.
Author's Response: I'm glad it made you happy - and yes, I'd love to see the look on Jim & Pam's faces when/if they see that Casino Night was captured on film. Thanks for reviewing!
Date: April 03, 2007 07:17 pm Title: Chapter 1
Wow...what a clever idea, and you executed it wonderfully. Especially great job on the climax. Very satisfying read.
Author's Response: Thanks, brokenloon! And would it be uncouth of me to belt out a great big, TWSS at the end of your review? :o) Thanks for the review!
Date: April 03, 2007 06:22 pm Title: Chapter 1
Oh, yes! This is lovely. I've always thought they should just show a JAMmy Youtube video and all would be understood! I enjoyed your choices of what Jim was shown. That parking lot ("It's egregious!") scene would be worth a thousand words for Jim.
I also love stories when the camera/production people get involved. If I were filming this, I'd have risked my job long ago!!
This was just... great. (/Jim)
Author's Response:
What a thoughtful review - thanks! (And for the record, I still giggle like Kevin at your user name.)
I, too, would love the chance to see Jim's (and Pam's, for that matter) reaction to the footage, because it's just so overwhelmingly there that I can't imagine they'd deny it. Sigh.
Two days, my friend, two days. ...Until fresh frustration. :o)
Thanks again for reviewing!

That was perfection. That microphone moment was one of my favorites on the British series, and I certainly wouldn't mind that scene made it across the pond (with your ending, of course).
Author's Response:
Hee - with "my"ending indeed - the British version just broke my heart. ("Um, she said no, by the way." Killer.)
So glad you liked it, and I so appreciate your review! (BTW - don't know that I've "seen" you around here before, so if you're new, then welcome to the wonder that is MTT!)
Date: April 03, 2007 06:01 pm Title: Chapter 1
Really, if only the two of them knew what we, the viewers, know, there would be no more "misinterpreting!
Author's Response: No kidding, EverybodyHurts! Seriously, those cameramen need to let go of the professional ethics and intervene, for the love of god! Thanks for reviewing!
Date: April 03, 2007 05:48 pm Title: Chapter 1
Why is it that them just having an honest conversation has become such a monumental event? But it really is. And I like thinking their moment would be private, away from the cameras, even though it'd be really frustrating to the audience!
Author's Response:
Tell me about it - sad, isn't it? And yes, while that moment in the British series was absolutely breathtaking, the American writers have put us through so much fresh hell this season that they owe us that moment. (I'm not bitter at all.) Hats off to the site, by the way, for helping all of us frustrated fans keep our sanity. :o)
Thanks for reviewing!
Date: April 03, 2007 05:23 pm Title: Chapter 1
Aw! So good and loved the mic detail at the end. You may want to consider adding this to the doc crew challenge. It would fit that perfectly!
Author's Response: Hey, thanks sharky! And actually, I wondered about that - if I add it, it won't re-post, will it? Thanks for the tip - and the review!
Author's Response: ETA: I added it to the challenge section - again, thanks for the suggestion!
Date: April 03, 2007 04:45 pm Title: Chapter 1
Another one shot from girl7? Seriously, this is what needs to happen - it would solve so many problems for those two would-be lovebirds. How frustrating that it won't! Love how you went through the various scenes, but most of all loved how you ended it with the callback to the British version. Just the two of them, in the present, not recorded for a future date. Loverly. (Are you sure I couldn't persuade you to add, say, 47 chapters? ;-)
Author's Response:
For god's sake woman, don't tease me - you know I'll do it! :o) Yeah, I'm trying to stick to the oneshots, at least until I finish "Only" (which is kind of hanging over my head). I loved that moment in the British version, but I must admit that if they did it in the U.S. version, I would probably just combust - they've tortured us too long not to let us be privy to the good stuff!
Thanks, as always, for reviewing. You working on anything new? (That was a hint.) ;o)
