I'm actually quite a fan of Jim the horndog/werewolf. This was very cool, sexy and eerie.

I really adore the way you took these themes in both chapters and had them reflect everything in every day life. How the characteristics of a vampire and a wolf were ingrained in every moment, every detail. It showed great dedication and talent and gave each chapter such a unique feeling. You really built this animalistic tension that was riveting. I really hope you continue this as a series. There are just so many interesting possibilities.

Yes Yes expand on the Jim is a werewolf. He does have the wild hair and Pam could be a vampire.

Guh. And please don't apologize, if Jim was all over me like that, you wouldn't hear a peep of complaint. ;)
These are really cool, and you're talented. I enjoyed them. :)

Another awesome chapter. Jim's conversation with Pam after the art show was amazingly heartfelt and well written.

I really enjoyed this. You did a great job explaining why Jim thinks Pam is a vampire.... taking ordinary activities and putting a vampirish twist to them. I also enjoyed the art history info and the link - I've never heard of that painting before and being able to actually see it myself was awesome. Great job!

Wow....man I must admit there's something to be said about a possessive Jim...pretty darn hot and pretty darn plausible with the angle you've taken here. I've never really thought about it, but you pointed out that he was more possessive than Roy in this story, and that WOULD make sense seeing as Roy never really knew what it was that he had in Pam. It's really interesting to think that Jim could actually be more of a typical "male" when it came to possessiveness.

So is he actually a werewolf or not? If he is, Dwight is going to have to hunt him.
Author's Response: Hmm. Actually, that's not a bad idea. . .

i enjoy the idea of Jim being a werewolf...it fits his lanky athleticism...expand away girl! ;-)

I'm so excited that you kept going with this, I never expected you too because I always thought that first chapter would be a one-off. Loved your fluff therapy! Please continue. :)
And Jim being a horn-dog is never a bad thing... you must know this by now.

Hey, I just stumbled on to this, it was very hot! I loved Mark at the end just saying um...well, you're LUCKY you and your wife are so hot for each other. Good for you -- wake up. lol. Good stuff!

I love this - the style, vocabulary, everything. You've done a great job at capturing how it feels to be so hungry for someone you feel like there must be something wrong with you without making it over the top or ridiculous.
Also, reading Stephen King can make anyone paranoid.

Yay, that was fun to read! You did a great job with happy-in-a-relationship-Jim, which is rare, so thanks for sharing!
(For the record, I think The Stand is way scarier than Salem's Lot!)

As an art history grad student I have to say good job with the art stuff! As I was reading, I was thinking, "uh, that Goya is in the Prado...how did they end up in Spain?" But the sketch part straightened me out :)
And I am now compelled to read Salem's Lot. Good summer reading so I won't be scared!

You have created a new genre, Vampire!Fluff -- well done!

"She’s got this kind of power over me that scares me. I wonder if she’s putting me under some kind of enchantment. She literally seduces me. I – stop laughing!" That's fantastic!!
Crabapple and flower peddles - you mean petals . I know - weird.
Really well done and interesting!

This was really well done! Great info on art and vampires. You've done your research! And Jim and Pam were classic Jim and Pam. And Mark was too funny. We were really wondering and thinking right along with Jim. Nice work!

Wow - that was fantastic! I love how you write Pam so sweet and ... spicy? Yo uwrote this really well - I think you got the characters down perfectly and i love how much love there is!!!

i really liked this. it was the perfect mix of creepy, funny, and fluffy. great job!

This was so enjoyable. I really loved it. Great Job. I love fics told primarily from Jim's head.
Date: May 22, 2007 07:26 am Title: Succubus
This was really fun. You made the reader wonder a bit, just like Jim did. And Mark's reaction was hilarious. Typical guy.
But I have to tell you (and I'm revealing my inner dork here), when Jim and Pam were looking at Saturn Devouring His Children I was thinking to myself, "Wait -- that's a mistake! That painting's in the Prado!" (I saw it there, and it really made an impression on me.) But then, of course, they're student reproductions hanging in Scranton. Duh. Lighten up, lapdog! *facepalm*
The inability of my inner dorn to suspend disbelief aside, I just loved this. And Salem's Lot *is* way scary -- the movie positively haunted me as a kid. But this was my favorite part:
A year and a half ago, he was asked where he saw himself in ten years. And when he thought about it, he didn’t see big cities and big money. He didn’t see Karen or himself going to large parties, mingling with higher-ups or any of that meaningless shit. He only saw years and years of Pam. Of this. Of yogurt lids and flower peddles. Of Chinese takeout and cheesy movies. Of sacrifice and fear, fights and laughter.
He saw the life he had wanted.
*sigh*
I love fics because they delve into the thoughts of the characters that we never get to see/hear. You've done a great job of that here, with Jim. And really showing that not even Jim will ever know all of Pam's inner thoughts. Very cool.
