i really love this. i can't believe i just found it. it was great for a first fic. you did a great job capturing their characters. and of course a kiss is better than a coke! in case you couldn't tell, jinx is one of my favorite jam moments. i'm supportive of the new rules :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you found it! Better late than never, right? And these rules of jinx are so much better you would hope they would never buy the other a Coke again.

This was great! Great characters, great dialog! Fun in every chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks! I had a really good time writing it. Glad you enjoyed it.

Awww. All in all this was a very fun, cute fic, with a very sweet ending! I think the change in Jinx rules was very wise and understandable :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I appreciate it. I've always thought there always needs to be some flexibility to rules, especially when everyone benefits. :)

...liking the new rules of jinx. I'm sure they will both be happy to oblige. I love how their crazy co-workers are the comfort zone they return to in order to find their way back to being comfortable together ;o)
Author's Response: Thanks! I think these new jinx rules are totally win-win-win. I think spending too much time with the crazy co-workers gives them far too many opportunities for shared looks and smiles to remain awkward for too long. Thank God for Michael!

A lot of fun to read, too!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad others had as much fun reading it as I did writing it. (Or at least I hope.)

This was so sweet! Very believable. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I really appreciate it.

I really enjoyed your story! Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm really happy you liked it.

This was a great story, and Jim and Pam were adorable in it. You've really got them down, and I hope we see more from you in the future! :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I really worried about being able to pull off a story that kept their voice, so I really appreciate it. Glad you liked it!

This was really fun! The call back to the jinx was super cute, and I really liked Jim's speech. Hope we see some more stories from you!
Author's Response: Thanks! Like I've said, it was fun writing. I worried that the last chapter was a little too sacharine, but I couldn't quite stop myself. Jim and Pam just took over and were way too cute! :)

Fun chapter : )
Author's Response: Thanks. I've had a good time writing the whole story.

This was hilarious! I love how you highlighted the connections Pam and Jim have with Michael.
Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks! I've always liked both Pam and Jim interacting with Michael. They both have this weird understanding of him, and quite a bit of patience most of the time. Yet they aren't afraid to make fun of him when he deserves it, but would never intentionally hurt him.

HA! Loved the saved by the bell references....and the sweet moment between Jim and Jan...he's such a sweetie
Author's Response: Thanks! I love Jim's ability to put just about anyone at ease. I always liked that scene with Jim and Jan in Casino Night.

i thought that was a jesse reference in the 2nd chapter. gotta love saved by the bell
Author's Response: Yep, definitely a Jessie reference. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thinks of this as such an iconic scene. :)

Aw, cute chapter! I love the Michael/Pam bonding talk, and I love how Jan pretty much reads Jim perfectly.
Although: I think there's a slight error/mix up in this line: “Thanks, I appreciate it. And you’re partially right: Pam is why I left. But she’s not the only reason I came back.” - It looks to me like it should be Jan speaking, then Jim speaking, but it's all in one line/quote ? Or did I read it wrong?
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!rnrnYou were right about the error (blushing now). Fixed up the wording to make folks a little less repetitive and redundant, as well as clearer.

Ahh, this is so hilarious and awkward, and Saved by the Bell reference FTW! :D
Date: August 07, 2007 10:14 am Title: Jim's Back
this story is pretty good. I'm really liking it
Author's Response: Thank you! I am really glad you're enjoying it.

Saved by the Bell is always a reliable substitute for a real life story. Very nice.
Author's Response: Saved by the Ball is so gritty and true to life it really isn't surprising Michael didn't catch the reference. :) Thanks for the review!

This is just adorable! As awkward and horrible as it was to get roped into dinner with Michael and Jan, it seems to be just what they needed! The characters' voices are right on.
Author's Response: Thanks! You hit exactly what I was going for-I think after the past year of angst, the first date would be awkward for them. I think they might need a bit of a catalyst to get a bit of the old reparte back-and nothing better than lots of time with Michael for them to find what they'd lost. :)
Date: August 07, 2007 05:06 am Title: Jim's Back
Aww, I don't know which is better, the Jan/Pam dynamic or the Jan/Jim one. This has been really engaging ;o)
Author's Response: Thanks! Jan has actually had some interesting moments with Jim and Pam both, which I think makes the crazy even more awkward for them. I'm glad you've been engaged. :)
Date: August 07, 2007 03:45 am Title: Jim's Back
Great job. You captured the awkwardness coupled with humor and sweetness. I can picture this happening : ) Looking forward to the next installment.
Author's Response: Thank you so much-it always warms my little writer's soul to hear they can actually picture it happening.

Oh. My. God. Only Jam could find love over that very special episode of Saved By the Bell!
Author's Response: That's what makes Jam so awesome-it's the little things that bring them together. Thanks so much for reviewing!

This is so great. And yes, I am having a blast reading this. Hopefully nthere will be more than one more chapter. GREAT JOB.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I really appreciate the review. I wasn't sure I could pull off the idea that I thought was funny, so I'm really happy to get the encouragement. I had a ton of fun writing it.
Date: August 06, 2007 09:37 pm Title: Jim's Back
Anyone who weaves SBTB into an Office fanfic deserves a good review - great job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much for reviewing.
Date: August 06, 2007 09:27 pm Title: Jim's Back
Yay for Saved by the Bell references!!!! hahaha
All I have to say is this is funny, I'm excited for more and I can't believe how awkward that would be!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It's a great relief to me that people are enjoying it. Somehow I always worry that I am the only person I am amusing.

Wow, who knew Jim went to high school with Jessie Spano and Zack Morris! Good stuff, nice call back to Drug Testing. Only one more chapter, really?
Author's Response: Thanks! It took me a bit to figure out the best reference from entertainment for a drug story a la Grief Counseling, and this one seemed so perfect. I could totally see Jim and Pam watching Saved By the Bell on TBS afterschool. It's such a shame they didn't know each other then, because their running commentary would have been awesome.
