Well that was the perfect way to end my day. Barn dances are for squares anyway, right? I am loving this story so much. Jim/Pam phone naughtiness is kind of weird for me to imagine as being in character but I totally believe this conversation is taking place somewhere in jam-land. Yikes long comment!
Author's Response: Square dances are for squares. Barn dances are for barns. </awful wordplay> Thanks, banana slings!

I speak fluent Stupid
What a wonderful line. I love Witty!Pam. It's so hard to do her well (TWSS) and you do her very well (TWS oh, you know).
“I want you to take off the bathrobe,” he says.
Her answer is immediate. "I want you to do it," she says. "Tell me how."
That is so many kinds of hot I can't tell you. Ditch the barn dance, Annabel, and go for the smut!
Author's Response: Will do, NeverEnoughJam. The "fluent Stupid" bit is a old-fashioned one, but then Pam is an old-fashioned girl, in some respects. Thank you!

So perfectly friendly and nervous and confident and happy, all rolled into one conversation, which is turning steamy. So good.
Author's Response: Thank you. I'm so glad the 'nervous' came across. I've sort of locked myself into a convention where there's only minimal internal dialogue, so it's good to know that the tension is still reading.

Yes, your fanfic responsibilities verrry important!
More wine, yes, and longer word counts- it's all good! Just kidding...do what you need to do in RL; then come back to us with more yummy fic...we'll all be here waiting.
Author's Response: Finally made it back! More wine and words! Thank you!

I'm really liking this fic. The banter is cute and sexy all at the same time :)

So funny and good and real. And it looks like the heat is about to turn up.
Author's Response: They are glacially slow, as per usual, but yes... it's getting warmish. Thanks, desert island!

Ah, still so good, the perfect balance of hot and funny and the warmth that's them. And tell your real life to shove it; you're needed elsewhere. :o)
Author's Response: That's what I keep saying! If only fanfic time was tax deductable or something. Thanks, girl7!

I missed their banter so much last season, so this really is a wonderful gift. Loving it and looking forward to more.
Author's Response: I'm so glad; I did too! They do seem to be a little freer on the phone, even at times when they're a inhibited in person. Thank you, bitterpill!

Real life? Clearly you need to get your priorities straight! Meanwhile, do I sense a little consideration in the cards? Do tell.
Author's Response: You guessed correctly, Colette. They are a very considerate pair, after all.

Haha, take care of that real life stuff so you can properly attend to your fanfic responsibilities! Just kidding, of course. But this installment was very fun and entertaining. I especially liked this line:
He wonders how many times this has happened: near misses in the dark, behind a curtain of Good mornings and How was your weekends.
So true!
Author's Response: I'm trying! Thanks, suoergirlsudz; I was happy with that line myself.

Oh, you naughty girl. (Have another glass of wine...)
BTW -- the discussion of VS day is both adorable and sexylicious.

Such a good chapter! I didn't want it to end! Keep going please : )

Another great chapter! The dialogue is so realistic I can imagine Jenna and John saying it.
Now let's have no more of this "real life" business.
Author's Response: It just won't go away. Don't these people realize I have important fanfic work to do?

Hooray for confessions of a self-starter! And self-finisher, I imagine.
This story is so much fun. Pam is being a major flirt--which I love--and Jim is dying of embarrassment, which is cute beyond belief. Lovin' it.
Author's Response: Yes, likely self-finishing was in the cards as well. Thanks, invis, I'm glad you liked it!

I loved how you had them both talking about their thoughts on Women's Appreciation day. What realistic thoughts for Pam to be having -- hoping that he thought it was something sexy and stashing it away so he'd nevere know that it WASN'T something sexy...and Jim imagining what was in the bag. I also loved how quickly he discarded the idea of that green scrap of fabric! Nicely done, once again!
Author's Response: Thank you, LoveFool. It's the sort of nonsensical thing I might do, though I would mock myself silly for it.

Awesome! I loved their banter and the way they talked around a lot of issues without talking about the actual issues. That seemed very "them" to me. This was a really fun version of their first date!
Author's Response: Thank you, Azlin. They will get back around to those critical issues at some point. Maybe at around the same time they finish those bottles of wine, who knows?

Um, yes, I *may* just have to choose smut on that one. Just my gut instinct.
Love all the teasing/flirting in this chapter - very natural, and very cute!
Author's Response: Excellent choice, Semby, the smut is delicious and the chef highly recommends it. Also, thank you!

I vote for smut!!
Author's Response: Noted, collardgreens. You may get your wish.

“Eisenhower,” she says. “Because Angela said he was the dominant male. I don’t know, it sounded right. I call him Ike.”
OMG I laughed at that, because I thought she named him "Eisenhower" after Dwight.
should this end in smut or a barn dance? It could go either way.
I vote for barn dance.
Kidding! I kid. I vote for the other option. :)
Author's Response: Nice catch, NeverEnoughJam; in my mind, there are many roads to Eisenhower. And thank you!
