Oh, how frightening. My cautionary warnings about standing up shower sex became a fic unto themselves!
I guess I'll save face by pointing out that it's a great, funny, sweet story! So, there's that.
Author's Response: Your warnings are a favorite of mine! Mr UNC and I read them together and laughed out loud. Seriously, it has to be said. It frightens me if people are setting expectations by these two. I'm glad if you liked my little take on reality. Thank you so much for the review.

Ha this was great! What an awkward situation for them, but it really brought out what a great couple they are
Author's Response: I started out to just write something humorous, but when I started this is what came out. Sweet JAM, so in love in my mind everything comes out fluffy! Thanks for the review JR!

this was crazy hilarious! i love it! and yes, i can forgive that pam moved jim, because, honestly, i'm a nurse, and i forgot that little fact. but if anyone asks, i'll deny everything.
Author's Response: I understand, plausible deniability! I'm glad it didn't bother you, and I figure I'm probably in the clear with others too if you could over look it! I was really just going at it from the angle that I knew he wasn't really badly injured, but I forgot that Pam didn't know it! I'm really happy you liked it, thanks for the review.

Great title. Great injury.
Author's Response: I must thank Shan21 for help with the title, I always struggle on naming things. I had a list of like 10 options and she helped narrow it down! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the review.

totally had me laughing... the images were great...I'm glad hubby and I have never 'fallen'... :)
Luchy
Author's Response: I'm glad too, I just think that has to hurt! Thanks for the review ! I'm glad I could make you laugh and I'm pleased you didn't think there was too much detail. Sometimes I worry that I am a little too verbose. :-) Thanks again!

AWWWWWWWWWWWW. I know that's obnoxious, but there just aren't enough W's to emote how awesomely adorable this is! So freaking cute, and Jim was totally right. This is a classic. :)
Author's Response: Not obnoxious! I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for your review and I'm so happy that you enjoyed it.

haha! Alice is perceptive! ok, this is hilarious and so cute! Pam trying to take care of Jim is lovely, and it's so sweet how she's embarrassed to call the ambulance. lovely job, i can't wait to see how you wrap things up :)
Author's Response: Maybe unbelievably perceptive...but hey it works! I struggled with Pam in this, but I just know that if uncboy were injured in such a way, I would just want to curl up and die before having to explain to anyone! I'm glad that (with the help of my betas) I finally got the balance right between embarrassed Pam and sweet concerned Pam. Thanks for the review and thank you for reading.

Yay you!! Funny as anything, realistic, and incrediby sweet. Just wanted to say again that I love it - 'cause - y'know - I do. :)
Author's Response: Well, again, I would not have posted this without your encouragement! Thank you for talking me off the ledge today as usual. :-)
Date: June 21, 2007 12:31 am Title: I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up
You are my hero - that was unbelievably awesome!! :-)
Author's Response: Well you've been one of my favorites for the longest time Moxie - so I am honored to get this review! WEEEEE! Keep up the good work because your fics always make me smile!
Date: June 20, 2007 11:06 pm Title: I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up
Haha! So good! I was laughing so hard throughout the whole thing! Way to blow your cover, Jim! Can't wait for more! :)
Author's Response: I'm absolutely bouncing up and down here because I am so happy that people found this funny. I was so worried that it would come off as kind of sad or weird because of the injury part. I'm really glad I could give you a good laugh Aggie and Thanks for the review. Can you just image their faces when Alice figured it out!!!

"Michael would probably deliver some eulogy saying, “At least Jim went out with a bang, doing what he loved…or who he loved…” Kevin would probably be nodding in a pew saying, “Niiice.” Creed would be wondering who they were burying."
Hehe! Hilarious story.
Author's Response: That was my favorite part so I'm glad you got a chuckle from it. Thanks for the review!
Date: June 20, 2007 09:37 pm Title: I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up
Hah! Cute last line. I like Alice.
I found 2 little typos (because I'm me)...'peaked' should be 'peeked', and you have 'situation he was is'.
I have the feeling you've had a back problem, or uncboy has, because this was certainly realistic. I liked what Jim said about being old, because being in this type of situation does send your mind right there!
I worried a bit about a concussion for Pam, although fuzzy thinking can occur in this kind of situation even without a concussion. Will she act like Dwight in The Injury? Will someone call her a Moonfaced Kid?
I enjoyed the "fallen and I can't get up" - you know Jim would say that. Other favorites: "I think you broke me"; the possibility of calling Dwight and Kevin (niiiice); the funeral (Kevin again!); and Pam trying to get clothes onto Jim (ouch, but who'd want to be naked like that?).
Fun story, glad there'll be a bit more!
Author's Response:
More mental jelly beans for Kev for spotting the errors. Yeah I'm a little peeved at myself over the situation he was is part. How many times did I read that and not see it, 100? Oh well. Sadly, I have had back troubles most of my adult years and I've been more or less where Jim is. So....I literally feel his pain (picture Bill Clinton saying that please).
I was worried that it would seem like Pam was really hurt, but I really meant it as she was getting fuzzy as the adrenaline wore off. But I can't wait to write the next part, I think it will be fun.
<> Thanks for the review as always Kev! You're the best.Date: June 20, 2007 09:14 pm Title: I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up
I love this. I was just sitting here cracking up reading it. I loved it when they were getting tickled at the whole situation. Because yeah fanfic!shower sex is, alot of times, kinda too perfect. TMI? Anyway, hope you write another chapter.
Author's Response: I love that I could make you laugh! No, not TMI, seriously every time I read masterfully written fanfic sex I inevitably think, 1) I wish it were that easy and 2) you can get hurt that way!!! (maybe that was TMI). I'm planning one more chapter as a follow up. Thanks for the review. ps - I think maybe you're a KY person, just saying, me too.

I really loved this chapter! It made me laugh out loud quite a few times, and I really liked how realistic it was. I can't wait to read more installments, and hopefully something will go right for Jim and Pam down the line!
Author's Response:
Well I can assure you that in my world, they get it right all the time, even if we don't see it ;-)
I'm so happy that this rang true for you, I was trying to make it as realistic as possible and I'm thrilled if I succeeded. I am glad I could give you a chuckle, and I hope to follow up with a few more laughs in the next part.
Date: June 20, 2007 08:50 pm Title: I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up
Outstanding! This version is the best yet. Laugh out loud funny, but still insightful into their relationship, and even touching. I especially lke the way Jim is portrayed here, wanting to take care of her even as he is in agony. Great job.
Author's Response:
Well I finally get to return an old favor...if not for you and xoxoxo, I would likely have just circulated this around to a few people I know (hee hee) as a joke and not put the time into it to make it a quality piece. And I think that your comments helped me get Pam right here, so I appreciate all your insights.

This was so funny! Thanks for writing this, because my friends and I are always wondering how in movies it's always perfect, but it never quite works out in real life. Makes me feel like I'm not doing something wrong :)
I loved this: "Jim was astonished how shy Pam had suddenly become when they were just having sex not fifteen minutes ago." That's exactly how I picture Pam, and it added a really touching, revealing moment in the midst of a very humorous story.
Author's Response: My husband and I always laugh thinking "yeah why don't they show this on tv?". I assure you that real life is just not as clean cut as in the movies. I'm glad you enjoyed this story. I loved imaging that scene on the floor between Pam and Jim, and I'm so happy you found it to be genuine. Thanks for the review!
Date: June 20, 2007 08:42 pm Title: I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up
I still guffawed like ten times reading this. I absolutely love that Jim and Pam still make each other laugh, even in the most embarrassing and painful situations. That is why they're so perfect for each other.
"Hey, Pam?... I've fallen and I can't get up." I know I told you this already, but good god, I love that part. And, you know, every other part.
Author's Response:
Shucks guffawed? really? for little ole me?
<> Seriously, thanks for your help on the title and for the beta! And keep the emails coming babe, I'm totally bored at work too.Date: June 20, 2007 08:16 pm Title: I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up
I absolultely love this. Finally someone is writing a fic about how dangerous shower sex is! This so something that would happen to Jim and Pam. I can't wait to read more!!! You're doing a wonderful job, keep up the good work.
Author's Response: Thank you! Honestly, every time I read adventurous type sex stories I think, oh someone would so get hurt that way! I can just say I think this kind of thing would be just my luck. I loved writing them together in this, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was nervous to post this one, so I'm really happy you liked it.
