Author's Response: Thanks meeeg. Glad to hear it!!

Go Jim. She needed to be hit over the head (metaphorically, of course!) with it.
“You’re just trying to confuse me because y-y-you just want me for yourself.” She protested, but even to her own ears it sounded incredibly weak.
It wasn’t at all the reply he’d been hoping to hear. “Congratulations. You’re onto me.”
That was perfect.
Author's Response: I really intended this to be all about Pam being mad but once I started writing it I realized it wouldn't happen that way. Jim needed to really lay everything out there so that she'd have no choice but to face it. I'm so glad you thought so too!

I love angry and passionate Jim. I hope we get to see a little something of that this season. I feel like singing your praises as a writer are a bit redundant b.c you know I love ya! Keep up the great writing girl. You know I am counting the minutes until your next update.
Author's Response:
Me too. Me too. HA! It's ok - it never gets old. Thank you - I'll certainly try.
Soon - I promise!!

Go, Jim. You tell her. Love when he says, 'Congratulations, you're on to me.' He's very sexy when fed up and sarcastic, and that's not easy to pull off.
Really looking forward to the next chapters.
Author's Response:
She needs to be told. It's not fair for her to make him feel like it's all been one sided and I'd love to see him really call her on it. So...I decided to let him. :)
And yes I have to agree. Very sexy indeed.

And the AFTER??? Don't leave me hanging!!! Mental note--don't read the "before" until the "after" is written!
Oh, yeah, nice job....blah blah blah. Now get to writin'! ;-)
Author's Response: HA! I'm working on it. LOL! Usually I have both done at the same time but I got lazy. It'll be here soon. I promise!

I seriously held my breath throughout this entire chapter. So intense...so in character...pretty much a perfect JAM fight. I'm really proud of your Jim :)
Author's Response:
All you people with the breath holding. You're making me so nervous!!!
I'm sooooooooooo proud of him too.

*slaps self in head* Please pretend that I know how to spell pretend.
Author's Response: Will do. :)

Love it! Finally they have a grown-up argument that has the voice of real adults complete with sarcasm.
I must disagree with the I/me discussion. I think the correct choice would be "I." Prettend you're answering the question posed. "...who'd want him to leave..." Answer: "I wouldn't."
Author's Response:
I'm so glad!! I know - the two of them really need to have this out.
OK - the "I's" have it I guess. heehee! I should have just stuck with my first thought!!

Okay, so Jim stopping the elevator and backing her into the wall was awesome. I love that he's angry as well as her. This is just... So. Good. More, please!
Author's Response:
Hee! That was one of my favorite parts. Me too!!
More is on it's way...

"You finished with your little tantrum?”
Don't ask me why but I kind of wanted to cheer at this line.
Words cannot even describe how in character and perfect this fight is. Can't wait to read more. And I love the entire set-up of this fic. Brilliant.
Author's Response:
Can't you just hear him saying it? I think he's entitled to be a little pissed.
I'm a bit surprised by how much I enjoy writing them fighting with each other.
I'm glad you're enjoying it too. :)

Oh, that was so good. Very intense. Now I am really needing chapter 4.
<> I need my happy place!Author's Response:
Thanks!! I hoped it would be. I'm working on it!!
Date: August 20, 2006 07:16 pm Title: Anger
Ooh, Jim with cajones. Nice.
Author's Response:
I knew they were there this whole time.
HA! I meant that in the most innocent of ways btw. ;)
Date: August 20, 2006 07:13 pm Title: Anger
Whoa. Brutally honest Jim with nothing left to lose. “Will it make a difference? Will it stop you?” *shivers* I think I stopped breathing at that point.
Author's Response: Please keep breathing. I don't want your passing out on my conscience. ;) I really want to see him kinda angry. I have to admit I'm a little mad at Pam now for throwing everything back at him.

I love your particular style of Jam fluff. So, Jim in Stamford again? Interesting, can't wait to see how it'll work out. Bring on Anger!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! Selfishly - I can't ever hear that enough. Yeah he's there. You'll see how he got there soon enough. Anger will be coming soon. :)

Aww, sleepy Pam fluff. Very sweet. I suspect you're just softening us up for some angst, though! Heh.
Author's Response: It's only every other chapter that will be a bit tough to take. Keep strong. LOL!

Sad but in a good way since they are together.
Author's Response: I'm trying to balance out the bad with the good. I hope I'm able to. Thanks so much for reading!

I love this, all sweet and a bit sexy. Makes for a long week without him.
To answer the question you asked below, it's "Certainly not me" since it is not like a verb is implied after.
Author's Response:
Yes indeed.
Ahhh OK then. So the second answer was correct. Clearly I'm not the grammar guru. ;) Thanks Gen!
Date: August 18, 2006 08:59 am Title: Leaving
FYI - me thinks it's 'not I'...but either way, if I were Pam, I'd nail his shoes to the floor. And then lock the doors and throw away the key.
Author's Response:
HA! That's why you should never not trust your first answer.
Oh and hee!! Amen sister! ;)
Date: August 18, 2006 08:58 am Title: Leaving
YAY! This chapter just made me grin like an idiot.
Author's Response: HA! That makes two of us!
Date: August 18, 2006 06:46 am Title: Denial
Fabulous start!
Author's Response:
Thanks!!!
Date: August 18, 2006 06:12 am Title: Leaving
Ah...sweet and sexy in a lovely understated way too. Probably kind of obvious by now, but these small intimate moments are my favorite...and I'm with Pam - who'd want him to leave?
Author's Response: Certainly not I!!! Thanks Colette!!
Author's Response: or certainly not ME - if I'd like to use correct grammar. LOL!
Author's Response:
OK - now I'm second guessing myself. Which one is it? I or me???? LOL! Pick whichever is right and pretend that's the one I meant to use. ;)
Date: August 18, 2006 05:49 am Title: Leaving
Awww...that's adorable.
Author's Response:
As if the two of them can be much else. :)
Date: August 18, 2006 05:42 am Title: Denial
Yeah, some definite denial going on there. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks Lissa!!!

This is a great structure for a story, isn't it? (I was inspired by the 5 stages for a Roy-fic once, myself). You have a knack for capturing Pam's inner voice. Lovely, as usual.
Author's Response:
It's awesome. Because I am sure it's possible for her to do all of it. Deny at first, then get angry, make concessions, be totally depressed and then run like crazy straight to Jim. (Are you listening to me writers???)
And thank you. I'm so glad you think so.l
Date: August 17, 2006 11:59 pm Title: Denial
Absolutely fantastic. Very realistic interpretation. Update soon, please!
Author's Response: Thanks Isabel!! I'll try!
