Wow. Nice story. Perfect dialogue between Jim and Pam w/ just the right amount of smut. Great!

You're killing me colette! And I'm at work! Great, great job...
Author's Response: So sorry...not usually a violent sort ;-) Boy, you really are finding some of my smuttier fics (they're not all that way, lol.) Glad you're enjoying (but don't get fired, pls!) Thanks much, wendolf.

Hee. This made me grin like a maniac. And I also feel compelled to point out that this story had 69 reviews before I got to it. (/Kevin).
Woo, smuff cakes. I encourage more of these! Especially since we'll hopefully be having more inspiration soon.
Loved all the double entendres (and yet, without a TWSS! Impressive). And the "I'm fatherless" line was excellent. Thanks for the smuff cake. :)
Author's Response:
So happy to give you a maniacal moment ;-)
This was entirely too much fun to write. (Speaking of which, so looking forward to seeing your J/P in NYC; subtle hint there.) In fact, I enjoyed myself so much, I had to swing back towards the dark side and write my J/K angstapalooza right after, just to sober up. A girl can o.d. on too much smuffcake.
Re: your question about MoMA - it is odd: the name is The Museum of..., and it's commonly nicknamed The Modern; but when abbreviated as MoMA, The is dropped. Go figure. And yeah, I did work there, but don't be too impressed - I was just an intern during senior yr of HS (see, I told you it was many moons ago, lol.) Which was very cool - peeking behind the scenes and I got to go to a couple of fancy shindigs where I met (or at least glimpsed) some pretty awesome people; but I wasn't exactly the Curator of Smuff Painting or anything ;-)
Back on topic: thanks so much, thirtypercent...tickled that this tickled you. (And here's to more inspiration soon.)

I love Jim's desperate, mad dash into his clothes:
That zipper situation isn’t going to be changing anytime soon
*snort*
Wonderful, Colette. As usual.
Author's Response: Ah, yes...the zipper situation. One of my

More "serious" fic huh? Oh man, I am equally as excited for that! And your p.s. about thinking about me during the banter...that's so nice of you to say. You're the awesomest of everything that is awesome! Again, can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Yeah, it's just a moody little S3 Jim pov one-shot, that's been festering since I wrote the Karen/Jim part of Snip. Hopefully, it will come together soon. Thanks for popping back in...looking forward to reading something (anything, lol) from you soon too ;-)

Oh this was a lovely treat. I don't even feel bad right now I didn't get a chance to take a sneak peek. As always. You have such a knack for sexy with a side of sweet. Thank you for this. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed. Kind of feeling impressed with myself for somehow editing an already 'closed' fic, without bringing the wrath (i.e., every conceivable glitch in the system) of the fanfic universe upon my head. As you know, that's usually my specialty. ;-) More to come, eventually, but first I think I'd like to finally finish another thing I've had hanging around, dogging me, forever. Thanks, you!

‘That's kind of sweet.'
‘...which means it would be over in about three minutes.'
‘Never mind about that then,' she immediately retracts. ‘I'm fatherless.'
‘Great...uh, I mean...how sad.'
‘My mom will be happy to see you though,' she teases, still giggling.
‘Now you're talking. I am so there.'
EEEEXCELLENT - Simpsons <Michael> This was a little slice of heaven. I was missing these vignettes! So happy they are back and you've got something else up your sleeve. You have no idea how happy I was to read that!
Author's Response:
'I'm fatherless' came to me at the last second...but it made me guffaw (do you ever amuse yourself just a little too much while writing? LOL.) So happy you noticed it!
I do have some more bits and pieces, but nothing coherent yet - never know when something will gel though. Meanwhile, I've got a more 'serious' fic cooking too, so doodling these little smuffers is kind of a nice break. Thanks so much LoveFool (ps: I actually thought of you a little while writing the banter in this chapter, cause you're so good at that.)

Oops - I forgot to mention my favorite parts. Of the story, of course. Not of JH.
"He’s said off-color things to her on the phone before, both jokingly (I’m on my way over. Be naked when I get there) and not jokingly (I’m on my way over. Be naked when I get there), but they’ve never taken it quite this far."
and
‘I’m imagining you imagining me,’ she finally continues.
Author's Response:
So great of you to pop back in to tell me! (And if you'd like to list your fave JH parts, I'm fine with that too. Personally, I like 'em all, lol.)
Especially glad you mentioned 'I'm imagining you...' line. Not to get all heavy about this smuffball, but it was pivotal for me (hence the chptr title.) It's at that point that Pam kind of turns the tables on Jim - not only plays along with him, but goes all FNB, starts taking 'control' of the convo. I think them knowing each other so well, and her knowing that Jim really can 'see'/imagine her, helps empower her in many regards. Her awareness of how deeply she affects him is, I guess, both erotic and kind of free-ing - like that affirmation, intimacy, trust, etc. fuels her. (And vice versa for him, too.) I also think that would be true in many aspects of their relationship besides sexual.
Hope that makes sense. Sorry to go all serious there, cause this is really just meant to be a (hopefully) funny, sexy little scene. But, those (maybe convoluted, lol) thoughts were in the back of my fervid little mind, while I was writing about zippers (ahem) and naughty photos. Many thanks, kaystar for all your feedback - very kind.

I sure hope there aren't too many carbs in these smuff-cakes as I've been devouring them like crazy! This was awesomely awesome and another reason you're one of my faves. And what kind of crack was Lisa researching for you anyway?
Author's Response: That's the beauty of smuff-cakes...0 carbs. In fact, forget Atkins, let's do an all-smuff-cake diet ;-) Re: Lisa...she used her trusty Smut-o-Dex to locate another fic I wanted to re-read, just to make sure this chapter wasn't too close to it. I could barely recall it, didn't know the title or the author - and yet she found it (it was totally different, btw. Not sure why I even thought of it - random synapse in my senile brain, I guess.) Anyway...thanks much again, kaystar. Thrilled you enjoyed so much!

I want a boyfriend like Jim who gives soft throaty moans while I give... Never mind. Mr. Kaystar would never let me have a boyfriend. Another excellent chapter.
Author's Response: Those pesky husbands, cramping our style...what's up with that? Oh well, the beauty of Jim is he can be everyone's softly throaty moaning bf, at least in our fervid imaginations (hee. And hooray for that ;-) So appreciate all your comments, kaystar!

I think this has now taken over as my #1 favorite, super hot, super sexy JAM story ever. Seriously. Wow. If I smoked, I'd be lighting one up right now.
Author's Response: Now that is seriously flattering. I really wanted the heat to come across, without needing to go deep into (no pun, I swear ;-) MA territory. Sometimes, I think, it's what you don't explicitly say that turns the key (ahem.) Thrilled you liked it so much - thanks a million, kaystar!

Losing the first quarter's Super Bowl pool - crappy
Missing the Leatherheads commercial - heartbreaking
Reading this awesome story - priceless
Seriously - this was awesome! I just love their banter, it seems so real, so them. And this line was my favorite:
"Either he was more inebriated, or even more insanely in love than he’d imagined, because damn if there wasn’t something oddly erotic about inserting that key in her lock and twisting it."
Who would ever think that someone opening a door with a key could sound so erotic!!
Author's Response: Well, I'm glad this was a bright spot in your day. Writing their banter is so much fun - and I'm always thrilled to hear it sounded 'right.' The key/lock...crazy, huh? But I think at that point in their relationship, the most unexpected things would seem that way, lol. Thanks so much, kaystar!

hmm.....I had to grin at this detail: He attempts to close his fly – but it proves too painful in his current state. He leaves it half open. No belt.
hmmm.....who doesn't love jk/jh beltless??
very delicious - the kind of story you find yourself completing as you drift off to sleep. Not that I did that.....
Author's Response: Honored to help you get to sleep...happy dreams, I hope? And I can't slip one little reference by you, can I? What is it about beltless-ness that's so damn, uh..intriguing? Thanks, Mox, always a pleasure.

This may be one of the greatest lines I've read in an Office fanfic: both jokingly (I’m on my way over. Be naked when I get there) and not jokingly (I’m on my way over. Be naked when I get there)
Thanks for this wonderful bit of fun. Perfect as always, dear.
Author's Response: I'll be honest - I think that was my favorite line too (I wondered if anyone would think I'd made a typo in repeating it, lol.) These silly things are so much fun to write, it almost feels self-indulgent - so I'm happy they amuse you as well. Thanks so much, my friend - always a treat to hear from you!
Date: February 02, 2008 10:46 pm Title: Imagining you imagining me
I absolutely love this story! You capture Jim and Pam perfectly and it's completely in character. I hope you write more :)
Author's Response: Keeping it in character is what I worry most about (since we never see these kinds of scenes on the show) - so I'm always thrilled to hear when it sounds right. I have ideas for another couple of these silly little things, so there may be more - after all, a girl needs distractions to avoid working on taxes, right? Thanks so much honeypioneer!

first of all, let it be know that i *love this series*. secondly - black boxer briefs? makes me think of s3 bloopers, when jkras walked into the first act of "the job" with his pants down... might that have been an inspiration? ;)
Author's Response: Believe it or not, I wrote this before that blooper was released - if only I could use that clairvoyance for the stock market instead of Jim's underpants ;-) So pleased you're loving this series - it's way too much fun to write. Thanks so much, EmilysList.

Mmm.... snack-sized smut cake. My favorite flavor.
Am I totally pervy for loving the details about Jim's zipper? And the joking about Pam's parents killing the mood? (Jim's type: Moms. Soccer moms, NASCAR moms...)
P.S. I really want to work "I’m on my way over. Be naked when I get there" into everyday conversation somehow.
Author's Response: Am I pervy for thinking up those details? (Don't answer that.) And, the idea of Jim's mom-thing has always amused me - glad it worked for you here. Thanks so much, my dear...you and your Smut-o-Dex are an invaluable national resource. (Btw, maybe that could be your new catch-phrase, like Paris responding to every question with 'That's hot.' ;-0)

Oh, thanks so much for this lovely Saturday treat. I'm crazy busy today, so a smuffball from you was just what I needed to improve my day. I'm doing my own imagining, thinking of Jim taking that photo of lovely, disheveled Pam, just waking up after a night of Halpert lovin'. And the visual of Jim stumbling around his bedroom trying to dress himself, while on the phone and somewhat distracted, is very amusing.
As usual, you combine the sexy with the sweetness so perfectly.:)
Author's Response: My pleasure, EH - we all need to take a smuff-cake break now and then ;-) Pleased to hear that image of Pam came across (I actually have another one of these 1/2 written about him taking that photo) - and Jim trying to get his clothes on...off...it's all good. Glad you enjoyed. Many thanks, as always m'am!

My God, I need a cigarette. First the towel (complete with shaving and cream and steam) and now this? Jim the sweaty basketball playing hothead with boxer briefs? So, so good.
Author's Response:
Love that description: 'Jim the sweaty basketball playing hothead with boxer briefs.' Absofruitely.
Glad this smuffball entertained you. You know, I just realized that starting with Lost & Found, I've alternated every 'serious' story with this kind of silliness. Guess that means it's time to write another one... Still loving your new series, btw. Thanks so much, sweetpea!

I love it. It's so Jim and Pam. Funny, playful, and very hot. The shaving image was just perfectly done.
More? Please and thank you.
Author's Response: Glad you found this...sort of goes with the Jim-in-a-towel theme on the board today, LOL. And also pleased you thought it felt like them - maybe the HBO version? Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, sweetpea!
